Impromptu Invisible Deck

Patrick

It looks exactly like it does in the trailer, ever time. It is easy, has no angles, and in my opinion looks cleaner than the regular invisible deck. Amazing.

Ralph

LOVE THIS! This is the best $10 magic trick/ download I've ever bought

Benjy

I was a bit skeptical... It sounds a bit too good to be true. I was proved wrong though. If anything, the trailer shows a worst case scenario! Really enjoyed learning it. Anyone who has basic card handling skills should be able to do this within minutes.

John

Marvelous, simply maevelous.

As noted this is not an impromptu effect. It requires a setup. Maybe "The No-Way Invisible Deck Routine" would be better suited. This does not detract from the fact, I was tricked, and I can see myself using this. I would also add since this is not impromptu the slights and moves required could be eliminated by using a single gaff card, (In fact I have more than one gaff type in mind) easily removed at the end of the trick without any heat, and then the deck could continue to be used in a normal deck routine without it. I am of the mindset if the effect can be done and remain fully examinable without any sleights, then don't use sleights. If it were not for the setup required, and coming up with rationale to have some alone time with a borrowed deck I would not be so forward about using a gaffs. For me personally, I doubt I would find myself in a position where I would need to perform this with a cold deck. Regardless of method used, I highly recommend getting this. At $10 its worth every penny and more.

I'll agree with the reviewer above and say that this was the best $10 I've spent on a single magic trick ever. The method is great, and the move is not too difficult to learn, but will take a bit of practice to get it looking really good. At least in a close-up setting, this is way better than the traditional gimmicked invisible deck, for sure!

Time to throw out that 12.99 gaffed deck that can't be examined. The best part of this is that you can continue doing magic with the same deck after the effect. For real...if you're at all experienced with card magic, card sleights,and misdirection you will likely replace your gaffed deck for this little gem.

Lee

So simple yet so effective! Like anything worth mastering; get the timing, angles and the appropriate level of misdirection correct and this looks amazing - Plus it prevents the need for carrying multiple decks!

Also to maximise the impact, it’s worth implementing the use of another tool in card magic, I use Redford’s personally.

Nice and simple, Recommended!!

Niv

An instant favorite. So simple and so elegant

This is incredibly fooling and yet a very simple concept. I love it very much and believe it is absolutely worth the time and practice I put into it. I sometimes even prefer it to the gimmicked invisible deck. I love that the deck can be completely examinable at the end of the trick and you can move on and perform a completely different routine after this.

Tal

Very clever! At first I had a hunch of how it's done after watching the video but the video looked too clean for it to be the method, was pleasantly surprised.
The teaching is great and everything was perfectly clear.

James

This is tremendous. The only real sleight is very easily achieved; it's already in my wheelhouse. The secret is so deceptive, yet so simple. It really is going to be part of my repertoire for years to come. There is no longer a need for a dedicated, unable-to-be-inspected invisible deck. Heck, with a little time and culling, you could set up a borrowed deck and do this trick with that. Now that would be something!

This is brilliant! Each time I perform this effect I smile because of the simplicity of it. I love Invisible Deck effects with regular cards and this has got to be one of the best. I found the move is a bit 'knacky' but is one you can practice while watching TV etc..... In a short time you will master it and be ready to blow some minds. What I really like is the fact that after you have taken the deck out of its case your spectator can change their minds! Not something you can say about many other methods. There is no 'clean up' to worry about either. Yes you will need a stacked/mem deck but I use new deck order. I tell the spectator that when I originally opened the deck I found one card face down, which was strange, and could they use their intuition to tell me what card it might be. Great opening effect. Mr Melero I take my hat off to you sir - genius!!

Brad

Such a simple set of moves. SO much better than the original Invisible Deck as it works with whatever deck you want and the setup is as small as it gets.

Diego

great trick!

I really like the clever thinking and simplicity of the method and cleanup of this trick. That said, although I've attempted a number of times to memorize Mnemonica, I've been unable to get it down. For someone who has learnedit, I think this trick would fry laymen and many magicians alike. I think the alternative method of the provided though easy for me to use, would be less impressive during the final display of the deck after the chosen card is removed. However, not enough of the effect would be lost for me not to want to do it. I think this trick is well worth the small cost to learn it.

Raphael

This trick was definitely worth the $12 without a doubt! Most tricks I buy leave me disappointed with the method, but this trick was not at all like that. Yes, it was not exactly what I would have wished for, but still leaves a great impact on your spectators. I immensely dislike it when a trailer hides a crucial part of an effect that without would not be possible. On the other hand, looking back at the trailer, the angle in which the trick was performed was probably the best angle the trick could have been performed and would not be the situation you would be in. Nevertheless, the sleight which is executed sometime during the performance is almost invisible to a casual spectator. Saying this, if your spectator is constantly burning your hands, you can still perform the sleight if the proper angles are executed. As with any magic trick, once the magician knows the secret, he will think the trick to simple and a complete waste, but if properly performed to an unready spectator, will receive the same, if not better reactions the traditional invisible deck would produce. I will definitely be adding this trick to my starting routine. 4/5 stars!

Unfortunately you cannot spread the cards like in the classic invisible deck. There is a stack, but there are alternative ways to do this without any stack. This is an excellent effect, definitely a favorite I will practice and preform!
