Infinity Deck - One Deck to Rule them All

Tomás was doing his reading last night, and found his way into "Experience: The Magic of Jon Allen." Inside, he discovered Jon's FISM routine with something called the Infinity Deck.

That's when the (Floating?) Lightbulb went off. "Hey, we still make that trick," thought Tomás. Perhaps we can take the opportunity to supplement the release of this book with renewed push on the Infinity Deck!"

So here it is!

The Infinity Deck is like no other deck of cards! Many gimmicked decks enable you to perform only one effect or many similar effects. This revolutionary deck of cards enables you to perform a variety of different effects without the need for difficult sleight-of-hand! Enclosed are instructions for various effects covering peeks, reversals, think-a-card, visual changes, transpositions and mentalism. All this without the use of breaks, crimps, side-steals, passes, top changes, jogs, glides or false shuffles!

Also enclosed is Triumphinity - the routine from creator Jon Allen’s IBM award winning act! It is the easiest and most effective triumph routine you will ever perform! No other deck of cards manages the variety of effects with a minimum amount of skill required. You will be able to master this deck in just a few minutes!

Sturk's Debut Project

Well friends, your prodding has paid off, and a new post to the blog will be my way of saying Happy New Year!

I'm particularly excited now, because we are ready to put the finishing touches on my debut project, called "Unconquered: Mastering the Three Card Monte." I'll be teaching three different versions of Deland's original PickItOut card routine, two with poker-sized cards, and a third using jumbo cards. Look for a trailer coming soon!

Second, we've got a new project in the works from David Solomon and his take on the classic Oil and Water plot. This one's a fooler for sure! If you're not familiar with Mr. Solomon, you may want to take a look at his two previous releases with FUN Inc., Knaves Gone Wild (one of Tomás' favorite tricks) and Thoughts Across.

Aside from these new DVD releases, I've been working busily on some technical changes to the FUN Inc website, including moving to a new, more reliable host server which will improve our website's speed. I can already hear the industry's collective sigh of relief.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to make it to a big magic convention this year outside of the Midwest circuit. IBM? SAM? Maybe even Blackpool? If you've got a suggestion, let me know in the comments.
