Sengaly Deck Project by Craig Petty

Effect

The Sengaly Deck Project transforms the classic Sengaly deck into a powerful performance tool. To the audience, it appears as a normal deck of cards, but the magician can perform impossible feats—cards change, vanish, reappear, and even predict spectator choices with no apparent method. The deck is presented as a game, making the magic feel organic and engaging.

Full Details

The Sengaly Deck Project, developed by Craig Petty, reinvents the traditional Sengaly deck with fresh routines and applications. Unlike standard uses of the deck, this project introduces new methods for ambitious card routines, transpositions, teleportations, and even three-card Monte-style effects. The deck remains examinable at key moments, enhancing the illusion of fairness.

Key features:

• Multiple strong routines beyond the standard force.
• Interactive game-like presentation to engage spectators.
• No complex sleight of hand required.
• Works with any standard Sengaly deck, though the project includes an optional discounted deck.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This project is ideal for:

• Beginners who want a powerful, easy-to-learn tool.
• Working professionals looking for fresh material with a proven deck.
• Mentalists who want to incorporate card magic with psychological presentation.
• Anyone with a Sengaly deck sitting unused—this project unlocks its full potential.

Difficulty

The Sengaly Deck Project is easy to perform. Most routines rely on the deck’s built-in mechanics rather than advanced sleight of hand. The real challenge lies in presentation—making the magic feel organic and engaging. Craig Petty’s instructions provide clear guidance on structuring performances for maximum impact.
