The Savant Deck

The Savant Deck is a revolutionary gimmicked deck that allows magicians to perform seemingly impossible mathematical and divinatory feats with ease, making it accessible to beginners while still impressing seasoned professionals. Created by Bigblindmedia in collaboration with Craig Petty and Lloyd Barnes, and based on earlier work by Owen Packard, this deck enables tricks like instant card calculations and pocketed card revelations that defy logic. The deck is fully examinable, printed by USPCC with standard Rider back designs, and leverages a classic principle to achieve effects that would otherwise require advanced sleight of hand. It's a versatile tool for a wide range of effects, from book tests to magic squares, and is praised for its repeatability and audience-tested impossibility.
