SVENKARDS®

SOLD OUT IN 36 HOURS AT MAGIC LIVE!  INTRODUCING SVENKARDS®THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF FORCING HAS ARRIVED. THE SVENPAD® WITHOUT THE PAD.  Something so ordinary that no one will suspect the stealthy secret. Our new SVENKARDS® were the talk of Magic Live 2024! Many who have seen and handled these used the word "GAME CHANGER."  A powerfully deceptive way to force a word or drawing with unbelievable freedom. Let your spectator handle the cards and call out what is written. Let your spectator mix them without worry. Let your spectator force themselves with a small amount of management - in THEIR hands.  They will suspect nothing.  The SvenKards® represent the biggest advancement in the SVENPAD® lineup since 2016. A stack of innocent looking index cards containing a hidden secret, which you can use to force ANYTHING. These may look & feel like ordinary Oxford cards, but these are purpose built with only ONE goal in mind: the most hands off perfect force possible!  They come unwritten, so you can use them as you wish for any routine - in any language. Available in both LINED (3x5") or UNLINED (4x6"). Note these cool performance advantages that will raise your performances to new heights: Index cards look and feel 100% normal - custom made in the USA We manufacture every element - from the ground up.  Each pair of index cards looks and 100% feels like a single index card The index cards can be HANDED to your spectator to be read aloud! With nearly ZERO worries about them discovering the secret or anything amiss The cards can be casually MIXED face up or down, in the hands of your spectator!  Spread the cards out on a table to be picked up or mixed  Gather the cards and make them flush. You then clip them or hold the cards by one end. The spectator proceeds to force themself in THEIR own hands.  We promise that our SVENKARDS® will blow your mind in terms of the ease of use, deceptiveness, and the ridiculous precision quality that will fool you when you open the package.Hold one card in your hand and feel the power.  SVENKARDS® will improve ANY prediction or mind-reading routine. Use the SVENKARDS® for any routine where you seek to force something in the ultra-cleanest possible way - in the participant's own hands. These are truly a SVENPAD® deconstructed.  Imagine something so organic yet innocent that these will probably fool most magicians - most of whom are probably not yet aware of this forcing prop.  SVENKARDS® are made using our own proprietary paper stock with a smooth & luxurious linen finish - so that the cards glide easily against each other (for mixing by the spectator). MADE IN THE USA (Phoenix, AZ).  These are NOT off the shelf Oxford index cards! We selected the quality paper stock, and we print the lines on the paper + cut/trim and glue the cards to perfection.  Each set includes 20 PAIRS (40 total index cards) and a colored metal clip.  Our cards are ideally opaque so that you cannot see through them as you would on standard Oxford index cards. That means you can write with a gel ink pen.  The cards are insanely precision cut at a 1/32" offset between the short and long cards! Your eye will barely see the difference by looking closely.  In our multi-step production the SVENKARDS® are placed into our custom jig so that each is aligned perfectly before they are glued at the inner tops. Each card FEELS and handles 100% like a single card (even though they are pairs).  The weight/look/feel of the index cards are perfect.  Available in 3x5" lined or 4x6" blank styles.  The crediting for these kind of index cards goes back to Bob Cassidy's Bulldog Deck/ Scary Movie Routine (early 2000's) and Richard Mark's Symbology (1979).  Until now, the arts & crafts of making a set of svengali index cards was daunting and time consuming. We've worked hard to achieve an incredible level of precision, perfection, and consistency that take this concept to a whole new level. Grab a few sets of SVENKARDS® and take your favorite mentalism or magic routine to an entirely new level of handling freedom and deception. “Dude. Love the SVENKARDS! Really- you are gonna sell so many! Already feeling with ideas. Thank you! DAN WHITE The SvenKards are terrific, utterly deceptive and so well made! ANDY NYMAN Brett I did not realize how much I needed these until I actually got them at Magic Live! I have a very casual approach to mentalism, and I avoid anything that looks or feels like a prop. These feel so natural - I love them! My biggest challenge will be how to not over-use them. VINNY GROSSO  WOW!!! I've had the pleasure of working with these cards and they are perfect. Organic. Natural. Effortless. Customizable. I'm already creating multiple routines for these. They are perfect. And they feel and handle great! JONATHAN LEVIT I just received the SVENKARDS in Germany - and wow, there are incredibly well done, exceeding by far my expectations!! I got several ideas in my mind using them - and will share my thoughts with you soon.  JAN FORSTER An AWESOME new addition to the range, and now opens up some very exciting routining possibilities! MICHAEL MURRAY It’s a giant leap forward in the world of forcing. It’s outstanding. GREG GLEASON As you might expect, SvenKards have (once again) set a new standard for a magic and mentalism prop. My only questions is, what took you so long to make these?  ERIC SAMUELS The King of Sven, Brett Barry, does it again. He continues to innovate and hits an absolute home run with SvenKards!! All the versatility of Svenpads we all know and love, but now with hands off handling that allows spectators to not only hold the cards themselves but also write on them!!! A+++ OZ PEARLMAN The SvenKards! Oh man, what a great idea to have these produced professionally and readily available. They handle really great even by the audience and are ready to force anything you want. They feel so different than the pads, and again they look 100% innocent and something you might pick up from your local stationery.  IVAN MALLIA SVENKARDS rock! Amazing addition to the arsenal to help create miracles! Easily one of the top three purchases at magic live! Brett Barry booth was on FIRE. I just wish I would have listened to his advice and bought two packages.  ISAIAH FOSTER Without question, they've certainly lived up to everything that I expect. Not only that, but I'm fairly certain that you will be seeing these being used more and more. They will eventually be as ubiquitous as SvenPads.  JHEFF PONCHER  I played with these in the booth and even holding them in my hands (and knowing the secret), I was astonished.  CHRISTOPHER WEED Love the Svenkards. They are so well made they can be handled singly with absolute ease. Two thumbs up!  LAWRENCE HOOKWAY  The SVENKARDS are incredibly good! Each card feels and looks like one card. Damn. Their precision cuts make them the best. Show each card individually first then stack them together. They will hold up with heavy use for a long time! Very excited to incorporate them. JUSTIN LEWIS Got my SvenKards and couldn't be more pleased. Whoda thought a force prop could be examinable? Brett Barry's design and especially his simple technique for having the spectator handle and look through the cards is so "innocent" that no one will ever suspect anything. I'm so looking forward to adding this to my working repertoire! ROD ROBISON Brett's new Svenkards are amazing. Love the idea of them being able to be mixed by the audience. Highly recommend picking them up. ADRIAN SAINT  The SvenKards are so organic and ridiculously foolproof. They fit my performances perfectly and I am already using them.  CRAIG FILLICETTI SvenKards are the greatest magic forcing device since sliced bread. I mean it! KABIR KHAN Bravo to Brett Barry. His SVENKARDS use what seem like ordinary index cards in an extraordinary way. They are deviously deceptive! BERNIE SHINE
