This also looks kinda bulky but hard to tell because he has a jacket on as well witch might tell me it is bulky. Now if I can perform this in a shirt pocket then will be a great gimmick. |

Think of using this as an ultra clean alpha deck by Richard Sanders

Looks amazing - I can see a lot of applications for this baby. I will patiently await reviews, and that my magic dealers gets it.

I inquired to Murphy's about the actual dimensions of the device (i.e. the width opening) because this could be quite interesting for switching envelopes (multiple outs). I'm hoping that it will work with an envelope measuring 3" x 4.25" (larger #4 coin). I owned one of the originals and like most thought it was 'cool' except that securing it took too much time and once installed it took too much real estate since the pocket couldn't be used for anything else. I also didn't care for thickness of the plastic (composite) material and overall bulkiness. It could have been made sleeker to be more pocket-friendly.

Alpha Deck is basically shown on the trailer for Switch-a-Two so it obviously works, it's one of the applications I'm interested in as well.
However, the structure of the effect would differ since you can't show the aces as you go. You'd need a reason to put the aces in your pocket before showing them, and if the reason is to show the blank deck, I think that's a completely backwards way to do the effect and far too weak. |

I am just an amateur magician, and do not know Alpha but it seems pretty sweet to put 4 aces in the device ahead of time. Have the specs take out 4 random cards face down -- obviously truly random as they are all blank. Put their cards in your pocket, do the switch and the patter as you wish -- i.e the odds of you selecting 1 ace is 4/52, 2 would be 4/52x3/51 etc. Show the aces as a 1 in a million pick but explain this is even stranger as those were the only cards as the rest were blank. (Amusingly from a math standpoint the odds are actually the same but I think few people will care).

Yes I suppose if you have them select the aces one at a time, you'd put them in your pocket one at a time, talk about the odds, take the aces out, then show the blank deck. Would definitely work well

Can anyone who has the original comment on durability and noise?

@dan it is very durable and there is no noise at all due to the nature of the mechanism

Just hoping version 2 is a little slimmer/thinner in design.
