NOC Pro 2021 is the professional version of NOC, one of the most widespread custom deck brands among magicians and cardistry enthusiasts (cardistry being the art of performing flourishes and eye-catching moves with cards). It was launched in four understated colours: Burgundy Red, Navy Blue, Jet Black and Greystone, which is the grey of this edition.

Design

It starts from the minimalist NOC back, with an added inner border that gives it a more elegant feel. Its main feature is that it is fully marked: the back hides discreet signals that indicate the suit and value of each card, whereas the original NOC decks marked only the suit. It includes a card with a QR code that leads to the instructions for the system. The tuck box was completely redesigned and is printed on mass-dyed papers with linen and vellum textures, with embossing and a matte finish.

Manufacturing

It is printed in the United States by the United States Playing Card Company on Bee deck stock, with a thin crushing process (thin crushed) that gives a card thinner and more flexible than usual.
