Book Description
I bought my first Svengali Deck when I was 8 years old. I am now 45 years old and I'm still playing with them. The Svengali Deck is a beautiful piece of magical design, allowing the performer to create incredible magic through very simple mechanics. In this book I have compiled the best advice in setting up, using and handling the Svengali Deck. I share routines that I have used when selling the Svengali Decks at markets and festivals and offer valuable insights in presenting the magic in a way the audience will love. The Svengali Deck may often be marketed as a magic trick for children, but with a bit of magical thinking we can transform it into an essential tool for any magician. The book begins with basic handling techniques and ends with an effect that fills a room. The book transcends the limitations of Svengali and raises the bar, explaining routines that can seem to be nothing short of miracles.
