All Alone by David Regal

Created by: David Regal

All Alone by David Regal is a visually stunning gimmicked deck trick perfect for close-up or parlor magic. A spectator names any card, and when the deck is spread, it is revealed as the only face-up card in a deck of blank cards. The trick features a clean, three-phase plot that builds suspense and delivers a strong magical moment. The deck is sturdy and well-made, ensuring durability for repeated performances. However, it is limited to this single effect, similar to the Invisible Deck, and the named card cannot be removed from the deck.
