Jacob asks: can you get the cards so that they can have a personalised backing? Colin asks: Is this a standard bicycle back?
Or is it a different pattern? Michael asks: I recently got a deck of Svengali with eight of hearts is it possible to order a few decks with different force cards? Hillary asks: If I order two decks of the same color, is it a guarantee that they will be different force cards in each deck?
John asks: My dad had a Svengali deck for years. They were regular playing cards — cardboard with a thin plastic coating.
Now that I"m a grandfather myself, I had to get one for myself. I bought one online, and have been working with it, but the cards are plastic — not cardboard with a coating.
I have been working with them since last summer and I cannpot make them easily pliable or flexible. I can do the trick, but my grandson is only three and he'd see through it in a flash. So I'm asking — what is your deck made of? How easy is it to break in.
It fits just as well for experienced magicians as beginners! You can always come up with new routines and tricks using it. You cant go wrong with this deck, as there are so many trick routines that you can do with this deck, its so worth getting this. This is great for beginners too. This is possibly the first magic trick I ever bought, and I have bought it a few times since then. There are so many effects you can perform with this, people forget how good a way a Svengali deck is of forcing a card, but it looks so clean to a spectator.
Highly recommend. I haven't used this deck of cards for years because I got it as a beginner and thought of it as a beginner's trick. I watched a magic lecture recently and the lecturer fooled me badly, it turned out he was using a Svengali deck! I'm so glad Vanishing Inc. I never realised that there are certainly different effects you can perform with a simple Svengali deck, and what's more you can even riffle shuffle these!
The easiest trick I ever learned and it's even practical to do in a walk around setting. I used to think it was too easy to perform at a proper gig, but I started using it recently and got such great reactions so now I carry one with me whenever I perform! Brilliant trick deck of cards. I bought a few different Svengali decks before I realised that Bicycle make one.
This is by far the best handling Svengali deck there is. Just buy it it's great. This image may not be used by other entities without the express written consent of wikiHow, Inc. Separate the duplicate cards into a pile.
The secret of the Svengali deck is its 26 identical cards. The other half of the deck consists of a selection of normal playing cards. Move the regular cards into their own separate pile. The duplicate card in the deck is your trick card. It is the focus of all tricks done with a Svengali deck. Each Svengali deck has a different duplicate. For instance, one deck may use the 6 of hearts while another uses the ace of spades. Alternate the regular and duplicate cards in a stack. Start with one of the duplicate cards in your deck, placing it face up in front of you.
Put a regular card face up on top of it. Continue following this pattern to combine all of the cards in a single deck. Your deck is set up and ready to amaze spectators. This pattern puts the copies on top of the regular cards, which makes forcing someone to pick a trick card very easy. When you flip the deck over and fan the deck out, the copies stay hidden behind the regular cards. Reverse the regular and duplicate cards if you need a different setup.
Some advanced tricks may require you to set up the cards differently. One way to do this is by alternating the cards in reverse, setting a regular card face down and following it with a trick card.
This deck has the opposite effect from the regular setup. With this setup, the regular cards are on top while the deck is face down. Flipping the deck over and fanning it out exposes all of the copy cards. Part 2. Dribble the cards by letting them fall into your hand. To dribble, hold the entire deck between your thumb and middle finger with either hand.
Bend the cards outward with a little bit of pressure so they begin falling into your other hand. The cards fall in pairs, so the shorter copies stay hidden behind the normal cards. You can identify them by feeling for the space they leave between the bigger cards. Make sure you dribble the cards in the correct direction according to how you set up the deck.
When the deck is set up normally, hold the cards face up and let them fall forward into your other hand. If you used the reverse configuration, hold the cards face up and let them fall backward into your other hand. Practice cutting the deck to the shorter duplicate cards.
Set the deck face down in front of you, then divide it into 1 or more stacks. The card at the top of each stack is one of the copies. Because the copies are shorter, anyone who cuts the deck does so at one of the longer, regular cards. Turn over the top card on the split to reveal your trick card. You can cut a Svengali deck multiple times, always finding a duplicate card. Mix this with dribbling and shuffling techniques to fool your audience with more complicated tricks. Keep in mind that your cards may be out of order if someone sets up or riffles the deck incorrectly.
If this happens, cut the deck yourself to ensure a duplicate card is next on the pile. Riffle the cards to incorporate shuffling into your tricks. A simple way to do this is to cut the deck in half. Hold the stacks so a single corner on each almost touches.
Use your thumbs to lift the long edge of each deck up, then release the cards one by one to shuffle them into a single deck. When you master riffling, you can make the cards fall in pairs. Each pair consists of a regular card and a copy card. If you used the regular alternating set up for your deck, the copies are always on top of the bigger cards.
Use the space left by the shorter cards to alternate releasing card pairs from both halves of the deck. Because of the alternating pattern you used to set up the deck, the copies are always on top of the bigger cards and easy to find. To find them without the audience noticing, dribble, riffle, or cut the cards to bring a regular card to the top.
They are shorter than the regular cards, so they leave small gaps in the deck. As you get used to riffling, try doing it while arching the cards into a bridge. Part 3. Spread the deck out so it looks like it has no copies in it.
All you need to do for this basic trick is arrange the deck in a standard alternating pattern. Flip the deck over so the audience can see it. If you arranged the deck correctly, the top card is one of the regular playing cards. Fan the cards out with a swipe of your hand to show all of the regular cards in the deck. You can also fan out the cards while holding them. You may find this easier than spreading them out on the table. Riffle the deck so the cards still alternate but the copies are under the regular cards.
Also, the decks allow you to display the deck with either different cards or being made up of a single card. Because of the gimmicking, Svengali magic cards cannot be examined by spectators. Although the deck can be convincingly shown to contain different cards. These magic cards are often found in beginning magic sets and sold in toy stores and at fairs to the general public. Decades ago, the cards were mass marketed to the public as "TV Magic Cards.
The two decks are quite different and rely on different methods and create entirely different effects. The Stripper deck allows the beginning magician to allow a card to be freely selected and lost in the deck and even shuffled. And yet, the magician will be able to find it. I recommend Svengali decks to beginning magicians and this includes both adults and kids. The gimmicking in itself is fun to learn about and employ. The trick features a standard routine so one doesn't have to worry about presentation.
Also, the deck is easy to learn and use. A basic Svengali routine usually goes like this:. A Svengali deck can be used to perform the full routine as described above.
