Hi everyone,
I'd like to know where I can learn a good version of the invisible deck using a memorized deck. |

Simon Aronson's "Try The Impossible" has a routine called "The invisible Card", in which the named card is first shown to be missing, and then it reappears face-up.
A handling that's a little closer to the original version, however, can be found in Workers 5 and "Very Very Close, Vol. 1", both by Michael Close. For other ideas with memorized deck effects, check out my list of memory effects. |

I second Michael Closes' handling except I have streamlined it a bit, I felt there where to many moves to accomplish his effect.
This IMO is a very strong effect for magi but to layman I feel you could save yourself some trouble and use a real invisible deck.

Is he asking about the Invisible Card routine? Or is he asking about making an Invisible Deck using the Aronson Stack?
From the OP's original post is seems it's the latter.
Magic is a vanishing art.

I do evens on one side , odds on the other: 1 will have 2 on the back, 3 - 4 and so on. Jan you must be better at quick math then me:) . To be honest , mem deck allows so many other 'name any card' tricks that I rarely if ever bother carrying the gaffed invisible deck [plus I have my own non gaffed (not as clean of course) version].

I mean the routine.

The routine then can be found where stated above! Definitely check out Michael Closes Routine.

Jan--I love your suggestion on re-ordering the traditional deck using a stack order. It addresses a concern that I have about the all odds/even look. I've never had anyone notice-but I prefer to do away with it. Thanks! Cesar

Yes, because the "system" is invisible. Concerning math: it's really easy and has the advantage that you know one side is stack-numbers # 1- 26 the other 27-52. Using a MD I can say that it is far easier than the traditional method. Nothing new, nothing different, you just stay with your MD. Jan
