"Alvo Stockman is known for coming up with BIG ideas with tons of real-world applications (Postmentalism, BFF, BOSS, Poetry Reading) and Singularity is no different!
Imagine the ability to seamlessly perform the Invisible Deck effect with any standard deck of cards. For the last 50 years, the Invisible Deck has been considered to be the purest card trick in the world. Its impact is evidenced by the sheer number of professional magicians who carry one around for anything from an "out" to a show-closing standing ovation. Now you can ALWAYS have the invisible deck available no matter where you are. No need to re-rough cards No need to buy or carry special decks You start and end completely examinable No awkward beats http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=1905 " Does anyone know anything about this? It really sounds to good to be true, and if it would be as clean looking as a normal ID it would be a dream come true. |

No awkward beats? If you don't practice anything there will be an 'awkward beat'
Maybe it is great but it's such a pity when 'hype-speak' takes over in an ad. In fact is'nt the 'awkward beat' a strong moment of raising tension in a ID routine.

I like the demo. Although it shows nothing but spreading the card.. there's one card face down.. I really do think the demo should at least tell us what happens in the effect. Otherwise a description will do just fine..

If the method lives up to the add then this could be a huge release for card magic in general. Some believe the invisible card is the best trick in magic. A good impromptu version would obviously top it. If this is practical, then Alvo is a rich man with a huge reputation in my opinion.
I would be very surprised if this is the case, however. CW

We are having Alvo film a better demo. We have seen Alvo do it himself and it does play the way it states in the ad copy.

Glad to read that. I respect Alvo Stockman's work but $30 for one trick and possibly, as some have noted, for one sleight is a tad pricey.
I understand the reluctance to film a more detailed demo. Always a chance the more advanced can reverse engineer it. But I need more info. |
