Singularity by Aldo Stockman

Effect

Singularity by Aldo Stockman is a method for performing the classic Invisible Deck routine with any standard deck of cards. The effect appears as if a spectator freely names any card, and the magician reveals that exact card face-up in a face-down deck. The routine is clean, direct, and requires no pre-set deck, making it highly versatile for impromptu performances.

Full Details

Singularity teaches advanced techniques to simulate the Invisible Deck effect without needing a gimmicked deck.

While the method does not rely on complex sleights, it does involve precise timing and audience management. Magicians familiar with the Invisible Deck will find the transition easier, but beginners may need practice to perfect the subtleties.
