Can’t go wrong with these!

You just need to be a bit creative to show "some skill" better to use it in a party after a few drinks if you are just an amateur like me

I live in a retirement complex and with card tricks like this I have become the resident entertainer.

Can be used for a lot of card magic

Great quality deck. I maybe a bit paranoid but I feel that the force cards are cut a little too short.perhaps say a millimetre longer.
I can see the obvious short cards but perhaps your average layman wouldn’t

Brilliant a must have for your magic kit

The cards are good quality but the way they are cut is spoiling them. Instead of the shave being balanced it is all off one side (and about 2mm at that!) so if the card is put on a table your eyes are immediately drawn to how lopsided the card looks. The white border is almost completely missing on one end. Apart from that, they are good enough.

It's a Bicycle deck. It's a Svengali deck. One of the easiest decks to work with.
It will make any beginner look good. Right from day one.
Also buy The 101 tricks with a Svengali deck booklet with it.
Lots more tricks and variations to perform with you deck.
I always carry a Svengali deck with me.
Gareth H.
Easy to perform and a good reaction those who participated in the trick

Svengali decks have many and varied uses. Personally I tend to use them mostly as forcing decks as they are obviously not examinable. Easy to perform for beginners and it does exactly what I expect from it, hence 5 stars.

I've used many decks before. One of my past svengali decks had really bad handeling. When I got deck - as soon as I did a few water falls I realised how good bicycle cards are and how bad my other ones were (the other ones were not bicycle).
One of the simplest tricks. So clever. You can use it to "predict" or to force them to chose that card.
The essential to a magicians repertoire.

This is a renewal for a great old trick with excellent bicycle quality

You'll be amazed at the simplicity, and it is true, there is no sleight of hand included!
Honestly you could take a complete beginner, and give them this for 10 seconds, and they would be able to do it
Adrian Green
Great deck for beginners and more advanced as it's do versatile and easy to use (no sleight required). Great for Ambitious Card routine but had so many different uses including mentalism etc. A must for any magician !
