ID 360 by Card Shark

Created by: Card Shark

ID 360 is a modern twist on the classic Invisible Deck, a staple in card magic. The trick allows a spectator to name any card in the deck, and when the magician spreads through the cards, one card is mysteriously reversed—exactly the one the spectator chose. This version stands out because it can be performed surrounded, with the deck already in play (face up or down), eliminating the need for careful handling or setup. The deck is made of durable, thin cards treated for longevity, making it ideal for frequent use. Perfect for close-up or parlour magic, this trick requires no sleight of hand, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels.

Effect

ID 360 is a modern take on the classic Invisible Deck trick. A spectator names any card in the deck, and when the magician spreads through the cards, one card is mysteriously face down (or face up, depending on the setup). The chosen card is revealed instantly with no sleight of hand, making it a powerful and baffling effect.

Full details

ID 360 improves upon the traditional Invisible Deck by allowing the magician to perform the trick with the deck already in hand, eliminating concerns about how to introduce it. The deck can be spread face up or face down, and the reversed card will always appear cleanly. The cards are thin and durable, treated for long-lasting use, so they can withstand frequent handling.

Unlike some versions of the Invisible Deck, ID 360 does not allow the spectator to physically take the reversed card out of the deck. However, this does not weaken the effect, as the visual reveal remains just as strong.

Who should consider the trick

ID 360 is ideal for magicians who want a reliable, angle-proof version of the Invisible Deck. It works well for beginners because it requires no sleight of hand, and experienced performers will appreciate the added flexibility in handling. If you perform in walk-around settings or on stage, this version offers extra durability and ease of use.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The trick is easy to perform, with no sleight of hand required. The only learning curve involves getting comfortable with the deck’s handling and presentation. Since the method is self-working, magicians can focus on their performance rather than complex moves.

What magicians say

Steve Faulkner from RealMagicReview tested ID 360 and praised its durability and ease of use. He noted that the deck feels slightly different from a standard deck but not enough to be a problem. He also mentioned that while you can’t hand out the reversed card, the effect remains just as strong.

He said, "The reaction was strong... even with a shonky performance, the effect still hit hard." He also highlighted the deck’s resilience, saying, "These are really hardy and gonna last a long time."

If you’re looking for a reliable, no-sleight version of the Invisible Deck, ID 360 is a solid choice.

What people are saying about ID 360

Steve Faulkner (RealMagicReview) says...

This is an invisible deck it says it's the only invisible deck you can do surrounded now... it's stupidly strong effect. [...] The only thing really it takes away is that thing of them not being able to take the card out, but the effect is the same.
