I've been searching for the Omni Deck and it seems that everyone is "OUT OF STOCK" I checked all the usual suppliers with no luck. Anyone know why?

Did you try the manufacturer, Palmer Magic?
http://palmermagic.com/store/omni-deck-koremandrus/ Do not be fooled, there is a India import that is not made correctly. It is terriable copy that will not fool anyone. They sell for as much as the original with some dealers. |

Shawn Farquhar told me that he bought the rights to manufacture the OMNI DECK from Bill Palmer.
You can buy these from Shawn's site. Shawn's routine for Omni is superb.

I recall Doc Eason's site carrying these a while back. Also, Tannen's in NYC had these on display the last time I visited the Big Apple.

I bought a regular Omni deck from Penquin last year, but I don't know if they still have any. Some dealers also carry Shawn's deck.

Like I said - Shawn says he bought the rights to Omni Deck. I bought one of Shawn's at his recent Phoenix lecture. I bought one, and compared it to my original Bill Palmer white boxed model from many years ago. No significant difference that I could see - perhaps a slight variance in the width(?) But the important edging is perfect.

Omni deck has a devasting effect on spectators. They never see it coming! It's easily one of my favorite strolling effects. I perform Bill Abbott's 'Contr-Alt-Delete' with a few tweaks.

Hi Guys,
Just to be clear the Omni Deck and my Ultimate invisible Deck are one in the same, both manufactured in my shop. I bought the rights and the company, Palmer Magic, from Palmer Tilden, in January. The only difference between the two items is the instructions for the handling. Omni comes with the original instructions and routine from the clever minds of Danny Korem and Jerry Andrus, while mine includes my deck switch and a different handling. Yes, there are two knock offs on the market and the two I have discovered are terrible. The one from India appears to be cut using a saw so there are small chips on the some edges and no milled edge to give the appearance of a deck. The Chinese version is cut better but once again does not have the correct edging to make the illusion perfect. Several dealers have been spreading the rumour of the product being OUT OF STOCK to justify their buying, selling and promoting the inferior product. When buying just make sure it is manufactured by Palmer Magic ... even my Ultimate Invisible decks mention this so you know you are getting good quality. Cheers, -shawn |

Question: Is the Omni/Invisible going to get distrubution via Murphys and others? It does seem like there was a shortage in the normal supply chains. Can folks buy from their favorite dealers soon? Or just on your site? Thanks again - you are one of my favorite performers and a great person. My 12 year old also thought you were awesome BRETT

Shawn,
You bought Palmer's entire company, not just the Omni Deck? Are you planning on making and selling the rest of his stuff? Jeff |

I own one of Shawn's Omni decks and I can tell you it is a thing of beauty. Highly recommended.

Hey again,
Yes, I bought the whole company! It was my intention to just buy the Omni so I could keep Jerry Andrus and Danny Korem's trick alive and available, but I somehow ended up buying the rights to all the effects, the website, name and company. I am slowing changing the packaging and updating the instructions to some, but they are all available at http://www.palmermagic.com and soon in your favorite magic shop. Murphy's has just order a huge lot of the Ultimate Invisible Deck and it will be shipped to them next week. I also offer such cool effects as Michael Ammar'c Card on Ceiling, Ammar's Coin clip from his FISM win, Paul Harris's Screwed Deck, Bob Koch's Telekinetic Timber, Syldini Silks and Pins and more ... wow ... did I mention I'm really busy lately! saysold1 - it was a fun night and it was nice to meet you too. Oh and I think your son is a cool guy too ... ;-) Jeff Haas - As stated most fo the stuff is already online and for sale. bsears - Thanks for the nice review .. I do my best, to do my best. Keep well and busy, -shawn |

I love my Omni Deck. Though I rarely use it, 'cos I already have other endings for Ambitious Card, which are stronger for my presentations (for kids mostly). This thread has roused my interest....curious to know more about the Ultimate Invisible Deck?

Shawn,
Great to hear! I asked because I know Palmer, but haven't seen him in a while. Good to know that all those items will still be available. Jeff |

On 2011-04-07 14:29, Potty the Pirate wrote: Ultimate Invisible Deck and Omini Deck = same thing Like Shawn said - his presentation is a little different from the classic that Palmer included with Onmi. You can Google and easily see Shawn's presentation as seen on Greek TV etc... The instruction's Shawn includes (at least with the lecture) could use some tweaking as they are great if you've seen the lecture but might be a little brief for those new to the effect. That is why I assume Shawn is working on something a little better. By watching the video online anyone who owns Omni/Ultimate Invisible can get an idea of how Shawn does it.

James Brown has a great routine for the Omni Deck on is Professional Opportunist DVD Vol #1. This is what prompted me to investigate the effect further.
