Here is Giancarlo Scalia's Invisible Deck with regular deck full performance.
For me, is Giancarlo's ID version with regular deck the best version I know.
Giancarlo's version doesn't use a memorized deck and the handling is very simple.


Scroll further down and then ID is the first routine in the video:

That is a pretty nice version of an ungimmicked invisible deck. I appreciate the suggestion and the link!

Want to echo praise for Melero's "Impromptu" ID. Really lovely thinking. As noted in the description, it does require a set-up, but you end completely clean.

It doesn't require a memdeck, but I personally think the memdeck version is significantly stronger.

This looks to be the same as the one included in the bundle download. Only thing that might be “new’ is that it is offered individually here.

I like Invisible Card by Simon Aronson.
The named card is shown to be missing from the deck, then is found reversed in the middle of the deck. It's more of a magic trick, than mentalism, so might not be what the OP is looking for.

If the effect you're looking for is a clear prediction, I would not sleep on Michael Vincent's Brainwave My Way.
Done with a regular deck with a very fast setup, the spectator freely names a card.
You just go through the deck face up until you get to the named card. It turns out you predicted they'd name that card, since it's the ONLY odd-backed card in the deck.
You can then show you removed the right-backed named card beforehand to replace it with the odd-backed version, ending up with a completely regular deck again.

Every method has a trade-off. With a tradition ID or Brainwave deck, you can hand out the named card, but not the deck.
In Michael Vincent's version, as mentioned by Emanuele above, you finish with a fully examinable deck. But the odd-backed card can never be handed out - it goes into your pocket. For some people this is fine, but not for everybody.

Another option is a Two Deck Brainwave. (I believe Nick Trost had a version, but there are probably others). The effect is that there is one wrong-backed card in each deck, both being the freely-named card (ie the cards were swapped). Using two decks allows you to end clean, and the spectator to remove the card from the second deck themselves.

A very different option -
Cody Fisher has an ID presentation with an amazing kicker ending. The named card is written on the balls of paper he threw into the audience earlier to choose volunteers to name a card -
