"Knowledge is Power" with NU-CONcept marked cards

Advantages of marking your own cards vs. buying a pre-marked deck:

If you buy pre-marked cards over the internet or through a magic store, the markings on their cards use standard marking patterns. Other customers who bought the cards can also read your marks once they know the secret.

Stealth - In a nutshell, why is marking your own cards vs. buying pre-marked luminous or juiced cards more deceptive ?

Marking your own cards minimizes risk of exposure - Your marking design/patterns are only known by you, because you designed and encoded them. Therefore, even those people who know how to read "shade' will simply think they are seeing shadows.
- Since you will own the chemicals to mark your own cards, the marks may be made more deceptive if you decide group a few card values under a single marking pattern. (ie. all picture cards and 10s may be grouped into the same marking category if you are performing a blackjack gambling exposé routine.) - Since you own the solutions, you can be creative or use suggestions proposed in the NU-CONcept manuscript.
- The, included, NU-CONcept manuscript which comes with packages contains tons of color photographs with card marking ideas that you can mix and match.

Marking your own cards makes marks easier for YOU to read - An off the shelf "professionally pre-marked" deck may be next to impossible to read in bright or day light or may become too obvious in dim lit rooms. With NU-CONcept shade variations, you can mark the cards based upon your working conditions.

Reading you own "shade" marks is faster and easier. Why? ... as stated above, cards can be marked for working lighting conditions, so you don't have to stare in more brightly lit rooms to see the marks. In addition, since reading marked cards must look natural, you can quickly apply the optimal amount of solution to achieve the best combination of deceptiveness and readability.

Not to mention, that your own designer marking patterns will be easier to remember and, of course, marking your own cards are much less expensive than buying pre-marked cards.

Marking your own cards allows you to control the marks intensity and deceptiveness - Since you will be doing the marking, you also have control of light, medium or dark shade. Of course ,the lighter the shading (1 coat), the more deceptive. But, you also have the option of practicing with a medium shade (2-3coats) and graduate to lighter shades as you become more expert using either the NU-CONcept Luminous, JUICE, FLASH or Tint work marking patterns. (Faster learning is another MAJOR ADVANTAGE OVER buying pre-marked luminous, juice, flash or tint work decks.)

You also have the advantage to experimenting under different lighting conditions, so you will learn what works best in different environments. People who buy standard "pre-marked decks" using any of the SHADE variations, discussed on this web site, may have difficulty reading marks under different lighting conditions and depending upon how each individual perceives shades.

Learning to read cards you mark yourself is faster and easier than by buying pre-marked cards

One size does not fit all, with NU-CONcept you can have the "customization advantage" of easily marking your own cards.

In summary, purchasing the solution itself, will allow you to develop an added advantage by customizing your own marking encoding scheme (i.e. unusual lines or shapes on different parts of the card). These custom/unusual marking patterns (which you can develop) will stay under the radar of those who know how to read standard "pre-marked" Luminous, JUICE, FLASH or Tint work because they will not know your encoding scheme. Of course, the NU-CONcept manuscript, included with each package, will give you ideas which you can copy, mix and match or design your own encoding schemes.
