The NOC Pro 2021 Navy Blue is one of the four editions of NOC Pro, the professional line of NOC decks, widely used by magicians and cardistry enthusiasts (cardistry being the art of performing flourishes and eye-catching moves with cards). The other colours in the series are Burgundy Red, Jet Black and Greystone, all in understated tones to suit magic performances.

Design

The back is the minimalist NOC one with an added inner border, in navy blue. What sets this line apart is that the deck is fully marked: the back includes discreet signals to recognise the suit and value of each card, whereas the original NOC decks marked only the suit. A card with a QR code points to the instructions for the system. The tuck box was redesigned for this series and is printed on papers with linen and vellum textures, with embossing and a matte finish.

Manufacturing

It is made in the United States by the United States Playing Card Company with Bee deck stock and a thin crushing process (thin crushed), which leaves the card thin and flexible.
