Effect
The Sven Deck Project allows magicians to perform over 20 different routines using a Svengali deck. Unlike traditional Svengali tricks, many of these routines do not rely on the standard force card, making it possible to perform multiple effects for the same audience without repetition. The project expands the versatility of the Svengali deck, offering fresh and varied performances.
Full details
The Sven Deck Project includes a comprehensive set of instructions for more than 20 routines. Some effects use the traditional force card, while others introduce new methods that bypass it entirely. This variety ensures that magicians can perform for the same spectators multiple times without revealing the mechanics behind the deck. The project is available as a full package with a discounted Svengali deck or as instructions only for those who already own one.
Who should consider the trick
This project is ideal for magicians who own a Svengali deck but want to expand their repertoire beyond the standard rising card or force-based effects. It is also useful for beginners who have just started using a Svengali deck and want to learn multiple routines quickly. Performers who frequently entertain the same audience will benefit from the variety of effects included.
Information on how difficult it is to perform
The routines vary in difficulty, but most are designed to be accessible to beginners while still offering depth for experienced performers. Since the Svengali deck itself simplifies many sleights, the focus is on presentation and structuring routines effectively. Some effects may require additional practice to master timing and misdirection.
What magicians say
Jamie from Alakazam Magic UK highlights the project’s appeal to beginners, stating, "I literally just had someone on the phone who just got into magic and said, 'I know a couple of tricks with the Svengali deck, but it's always the same trick.' The Sven Deck Project solves that with over 20 routines." The project has been well-received for its ability to refresh a classic tool in magic.
The Sven Deck Project is a valuable resource for magicians looking to maximize the potential of their Svengali deck while keeping performances fresh and engaging.
