The Svengali deck of cards is a specially prepared deck of playing cards (Poker-sized or Bridge-sized) that can be used by magicians or entertainers to perform various tricks. The deck and the tricks performed with it are assisted by its unique design and require almost no skill.

The cards of the deck can be flipped or riffled to create the illusion that the deck is completely ordinary. It can even be apparently mixed and shuffled. The trick involves a spectator choosing a card from the deck and...

Terry wanted to be able to show a packet of cards, shuffle them and have someone just look at one and then he reproduces it. He didn't want to use marked cards or some sort of stack, but he wanted it to be sure fire. As a result he came up with Force This.

While the method is not new, it is known as the Siamese Svengali Pack (see for example Encyclopedia of Card Tricks or Greater Magic), the way Terry uses it in combination with business cards and a paper clip makes this a very practical and innocent looking method.
