English term or phrase: Tapered end of card(s)
Çocuklar için sihirbazlık hilelerinin öğretildiği bir dokümandan:
Trick başlığı altında (Kağıt oyunları)
Bağlam açısından trick'in tamamını veriyorum
1)With the deck mixed and the tapered ends all one way, allow a member of the audience to select a card
2)As usual be sure that when their card is returned to the deck the tapering is in the opposite direction to the rest of the cards.
3) Shuffle and hold the deck behind your back
4)"Strip" the selected card and place it at the bottom of the deck
5) At the same time, ask the spectator who selected the card to tell you how far up from the bottom of the deck he wants you to count to find his card.
6)Bring the deck forward, slide the bottom card back so that the audience cannot see it and start counting by dealing the card just above the selected card
7)When you have counted to the selected number requested by the spectator pull out their card.

Explanation:
Tapered deck - hileli deste.

Bu tip destelerde kartların bir ucu hafif farklı olur. Böylelikle deste karıştırılsa dahil farklı olan uç sayesinde sihirbaz seçilen kartı bulabilir.

Taper için farklı çeviriler önerilebilir. Zira her hileli destede kart uçlarında gözle seçilemeyecek farklı değişiklikler yapılabilir. Bu nedenle hafif konuk uç yerine kartların hileli ucu veya hileli yanı demeniz daha uygun olacaktır.

Hilenin tam açıklaması da burada:
A Stripper Deck (also known as a Tapered Deck, Wizard Deck, or Biseauté Deck) allows the magician to control the main location of a card or group of cards easily within the pack. Even after being shuffled into the deck by a spectator, the magician can cut to a selected card. Similarly, even after being lost in different parts of the deck, the magician can move multiple cards to the bottom or top of the deck with a few innocent shuffles.
Unlike the Invisible or Svengali Deck, the Stripper Deck can be handled by an audience member unfamiliar with the concept and can withstand a modest amount of scrutiny without exposing the secret; however, this deck is found in a number of beginners' magic kits, so the secret is well-known, even among non-magicians.[citation needed]
The cards of a Stripper Deck are slightly tapered, so that the sides no longer form a perfect rectangle. The change is slight enough to be undetected by visual inspection or even casual handling, but if a single card is rotated 180° so that it's tapered in the opposite direction from the rest of the deck, the card's broad end can easily be detected, by feel or even by sight, among the narrow ends of the rest of the deck. At this point the magician can select the target card through sleight of hand.[1]
Many of the effects achieved with a Stripper Deck can also be accomplished with sleight of hand.

agree  Mehmet Ali Bahıt: Konik uç hileli uçtan daha doğru. Bu konu ilgi alanıma giriyor, deste de evde mevcut :) Burada Stripper Deck sözkonusu. Svengali Deck ve Invisible Deck olarak anılan destelerin hile mantığı farklıdır.
