    Oh man, this falls into such a special category of classic effects/methods that often get left by the wayside for one reason or another. We're stoked to see your treatment of it and pick up some tips!

    I close my deck out with two piles of 21 cards (removing the obvious pile) for a different card choice with Siamese twins to finish the trick

  • @marklewis8323
    @marklewis8323 2 роки тому

    I have some familiarity with this deck. It seems that for some odd reason you have omitted the most important move with the deck. Perhaps you don't know it. I would also advise you to do the "Run" move face on rather than sideways. Oh, and you CAN have the deck examined without switching them. There are ways you know..................

  • @robertmclaurine

    Do all Svengali decks have the same capability of showing as blank and then transform as you showed?

    • @OBrienMagic
      @OBrienMagic  3 роки тому +1

      I think you meant to post this comment to the blank deck video? Haha the svengali function is what allows the cards to clone themselves or in the case of the blank deck (mental photography) turn blank. It is another means of hiding cards (similar to the rough/smooth method discussed on MF and Invisible Deck.)
      Hope this helps clarify. :)

    Great introduction, I've not used a Svendeck in years (possibly decades LOL), looks like I'll have to dig one out (or just make a new one)

      I perform this 30-50 times a day at a magic shop and never get called out on this. Its a dead giveaway to magicians. Laymen have no idea.
