Umm, not sleep, invisibility...
Let's look at the text...
Invisibility: Play on Runner with Sorcery. User sleazes a just-revealed
Awakened, Street, or Personnel Challenge. The rest of the team returns to
the safehouse.
Skitz: 2¥: Cancel any card effect that would send Skitz back to the
safehouse.
Notice that Skitz does not 'cancel any card' or 'cancel the effects of any
card', it only cancels any card effect, singular. Therefore it does not
cancel all the effects of a card, it just cancels any effect that would
return the rest of the team to the safehouse (ie - the last of two effects
of invisibility).
