Insight Pro
Insight PRO includes a deck of 52 electronic playing cards. Invisible RFID chips embedded in each card transmit the suit and value to the Insight reader, a miniature device that will respond with a coded vibration or send the information to a nearby iPhone.
Now with the ability to detect a stack of up to three cards simultaneously, Insight is better than ever before.
The Basic Effect
The performer hands the deck to a volunteer and invites them to choose their favorite card, placing the rest of the deck aside. Without touching the volunteer or the deck, the performer reveals the chosen card.
Included are seven incredible new routines by Colin Cloud and Mark Elsdon.
The Reader
The reader features both wireless transmission and on-board vibration cuing. At only 77 x 33mm it's incredibly small, with a range that allows you to detect the cards with a single gesture. When connected to an iPhone, the reader can be positioned under a table for a truly hands-free performance.
The Deck
The Insight deck (Phoenix edition) is the very first electronic deck to be designed from the ground up specifically for magicians. The chips and antenna are embedded in the cards during the manufacturing process, ensuring that each card is perfectly thin and flat. The deck can be shuffled and handled as normal, and is designed to last a lifetime.
And finally...
An iPhone is not included with the device, but if you have one already (4S and above) you can unlock Insight's wireless features by purchasing the Insight Reader app available from the App Store. Apple Watch support is included amongst a number of other new features.
Note that this is an optional feature only - the majority of the effects can be performed using the reader alone.

Jim asks: Please confirm or correct my understanding. The cards must be within 11cm of a receiver/transmitter. The transmitter will transmit the information approximately 10m tonan iPhone. There is a mention of a wrist strap. Is this for the transmitter already mentioned, or, is there another device that i can wear that will bibrate the
Jim asks: The reader and card deck can be 11cm apart from the description. The description says the card value can be determined from as far away as 10m or another room. Without use of the iPhone app, can I really be several meters away in a different room? How about in the same room. Can I still be several meters away without an iPhone? I am cautious only because this is a large expense and I don't want to be forced to get an iPhone as well.
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:I believe you'll need an iPhone no matter which method you use, but that is correct. You really can do it from that far away.
Cuong asks: Does it requires to work with cellphone or can it be work independently?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:As noted above: the majority of the effects can be performed using the reader alone. A phone is optional.
Luca asks: I would like to know what material the cards are made of. I have read that they can be written with a normal Sharpie that can be erased with a solvent. if so what type of solvent should be used? Thanks for collaboration. Ciao. Ld'A

alex asks: can you get a replacement deck for the inishgt pro, eg full deck, and if so how much ?
- 1. Sgkyduyen responds:Unfortunately, the deck replacement is not available at this moment. I think you can contact the creator directly
Fabrice asks: Two more questions 1) are the dimensions 77x33 mm or 80x35 mm and which is the third dimension? (I read that the reader can be hidden in the card box) 2)is the range (of 11cm) the range from the chosen card to the reader or from the rest of the deck to the reader?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:1. I don't have the third dimension, but it will easily fit into any card case. 2. it is from the chosen card to the reader. I hope that helps!
