Magic Review - Svengali Project by Craig Petty & Alakazam

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough and enthusiastic review of Craig Petty and Alakazam's "Svengali Project," a download featuring 20 tricks utilizing a Svengali deck. He acknowledges his admiration for both Petty and Alakazam, setting the stage for a comprehensive look at the routines. While the Svengali deck itself is inexpensive (around $7-$8), David believes the $28 price tag for the download is justified due to the quantity and quality of the material. The project primarily leverages the Svengali deck's unique property – all cards being the same – but Petty elevates the concept with various approaches, some requiring modifications like writing on the cards. David highlights several standout tricks, including "The Pitch," a strong ambitious card routine, "Magic vs. Mentalism," and "Coincidence," which he calls his new go-to Svengali routine. He notes the project caters to a wide range of magicians, from beginners to experienced performers, and suggests ordering from Alakazam's US studio for faster shipping and lower costs for American audiences. Overall, David recommends "The Svengali Project" as a worthwhile purchase for those seeking fresh and original Svengali routines.
