Just placed my order as well.
As a side question, is there a chance that this technique could be used for printing words on cards? Because if I could have custom decks made, I can think of several things I could use that for. I would certainly be interested if you had this as an option in the future. |

Is this similar to 100th Monkey in any way? It's a little bit difficult to ensure a perfect performance with that on stage.

Tom is almost right, but I think we are only using half of the high/low frequency principle, as with Einstein/Marilyn there is a shift in the picture when changing the distance. The Factory Blanks are using only the part for near distance while the far distance information is not there. Do we have to call it the 50th Monkey then?!
When designing the deck, my final design ended up in a purely mathematical solution, where values equal out each other, either on the cards themselves or by the human eye. Btw, I struggled long with the court cards as there is so much detail in it, but my friend Patrick Lehnen finally had the perfect idea to solve the problem.

Any chance of seeing a few of the cards as the 'lone spec' would see them? A picture paints a thousand words, etc.

I made a video to show the cards, but I want to wait for Tom if he is ok with it.

I'm the person Tom chose out of the audience at The Session.
After the lecture I bought 2 decks as I was blown away by the whole routine and potential of this deck. Please don't buy!! Too good for mere mortals ... |

We decided against a close up shot video, even if it is !@#$%^& amazing. Just trust the hype, there is a reason for it. And Card-Shark never disappointed. This one has the potential for Best Trick of this year.

Would be nice to see a video trailer...soon.
I have been doing Darwin Ortiz effect The Lucky Deck many times - it´s a true worker in the real world. And, you can give away the pack at the end. Lucky Deck has the "same" effect as Factory Blanks - so what is the advantage with Factory Blanks? I´m just curious. [Lucky Deck: page 120 in the book - At the card table (1988) by Darwin Ortiz or watch the effect: Nothing But The Best Volume 3 by Darwin Ortiz (DVD)] I like gimmicked decks, I have over 80 trick decks - so if this is a great prop I will probably buy it. |

There's no hyperbole involved, and if that's the assumption, I rather pull the piece from the market than have my integrity questioned. The prop is exactly what it is described to be, no more and no less. Hyperbole is neither present nor required. It is just 5 days ago it was debuted and filmed at the Session convention. It will take a few days before that footage is edited and proveded with graphic intro and outro. So far, all discussions of the prop has been somewhat obfuscated. Those interested know exactly what it is, but it would take a mildly curious layperson a few minutes to deciphre what it means. It would be insane to put a video out on open forums that blatantly show the workings before the performance footage is out, and before anyone have even had the chance to use it in performance themselves. The true fact is that I'm using it in my own performances, and want to continue doing so. |
