Mark Elsdon has created one of the finest card and number prediction effects we have ever seen! Not only is Infallible a real world worker and self-working, it's also instantly repeatable!

Mark has added the idea of a fantastic video revelation that you text to you spectator and its left on their phone as a memento of the incredible feat!

For those of you who prefer the more traditional style of prediction, you can have a prediction in an envelope, written on the back of your business card or even sent to them in advance!

Infallible is a sure fire winner and an effect you can and will perform in every situation. Totally self-working and incredibly practical.

Comes with Special Infallible Deck & A full instructional DVD.

Wow! Let me start off by saying that this trick has completely been under hyped. This is an outstanding product. You have a deck with a slew of random numbers written on their backs. You make a prediction and as you deal the cards onto the table the spectator calls stop, selecting a card and a number. You then reveal your prediction to be 100% accurate. That’s it, in the trailer they cut a couple times and it may lead you to believe that they are hiding something, they are not. All of the dirty work is shown right there in the trailer.

So, in the package you will receive a gimmicked deck, 2 black envelopes, 2 prediction cards and a DVD. The cards are gaffed, they are not bicycle and as far as I know you could not use bicycle cards without taking some serious time making a custom gaff deck. I believe there are other back designs that would work with this, the cards you get don’t handle the best but they look and feel completely normal. They almost feel like a deck of Maverick playing cards that you might purchase at a gas station. You also will need to write the numbers on the backs as well.

The DVD is very simple. Mark performed the trick in studio and it completely fooled me. Then he repeated it with different cards and numbers all with the same deck. It completely fooled me again.

I was hesitant to look into this effect originally. Mark’s presentation involves sending a video file to the spectator with his prediction. I find this to be very creative and innovative but it needs to be pointed out that you don’t have to use a video at all. Of course you can use a video, a voice mail, a You Tube video and so on but you don’t have to. You can use any prediction method you would like. Mark explains that he originally used this as a type of any card at any number. An envelope would be shown with a card inside, a card and number would be selected and he would reveal the selected card with the selected number written on the back. This makes it extremely versatile, perfect for walk around and I would even consider performing it on stage.

Mark has ingeniously crafted a deck that can be instantly repeated for the same audience with baffling results. Of course the prediction is different the second time but you could have both predictions on the same video file if you wished or put both cards in the same envelope. The reset takes just a few moments and can possibly be done in front of the spectators.

Unfortunately, you receive a random set of cards so the possible selections will be determined by the manufacturer for you. The numbers on the other hand are completely customizable, you can write any number you want, or anything you want, such as a name or shape or color.

So, you get an innovative deck of cards that is very customizable, a self working trick that can be repeated for the same audience with great results and can be performed in a variety of situations. The price should keep it out of the hands of amateurs which is a good thing for an effect that is this clever.
