How magicians use secret contact lenses to see every card in the deck
Chris Angel and David Blaine make card reading look easy. It almost seems like they can read right through the cards or have some kind of power that goes beyond human skill. This is an illusion. They don’t use any skills. In fact, they use a tool that ANYONE can use or master in minutes. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could see every card and suit in a deck of cards? Have you ever heard of glow ink? Glow ink is a type of invisible ink that can be applied to the back of a deck of cards and is essentially completely “invisible” to the naked eye. Even a person with sharp vision will not be able to detect these markings.
With regular lenses, however, the markings jump out at you and you alone. The lens is reddish-purple in color, allowing you to see scars that are normally invisible to the naked eye. The two main ways people read the markings are with luminous ink glasses and luminous ink contact lenses. This article will explain glow ink contact lenses. There are 3 factors you need to know about contact lenses; eye color, eye care and contact lens care.
Glowing ink contact lenses are special lenses with a purple filter built into the clear lenses. The lens itself is the same size as a regular contact lens. The filter that allows you to read the card markings varies from four millimeters to 9 millimeters. Note that the contact lens itself is 13 millimeters. People with lighter eyes (blue and green) will want to use contact lenses with a four millimeter filter size, while someone with darker eyes can get away with wearing a 9mm and 7mm filter because the filter will blends in with the darker eyes.
When it comes to eye care, you have to be careful! Note that contact lenses should not stay in the eye for more than eight hours. Only put these lenses in your eyes when performing card tricks. They should not be worn all the time, especially since the filter changes the color of your vision to dark purple. If you feel that the contact is scratched, remove the contact and apply a solution so that your eye does not “bother” you. These contact lens readers are special, but your vision is most important!
Take care of your contacts. When you start putting the contact lenses in your eyes, you should use contact solution and rub gently around the contact before putting in your eye. This helps keep the build-up of protein deposits from the last time you wore your contact lenses. When you remove the contacts, you should store them in a box at room temperature and store them in solution. This will ensure a long life for your contacts.
Keep in mind the three factors of wearing contact solutions for magic card tricks, you need to know which filter size matches your eye color, you need to take care of your eyes, and you need to take care of your contact lenses.
