An easy and effective multiphase routine with a Svengali deck. A spectator is correct continually in finding a previously selected card which the performer underlines with the punch line "How Right You Are."

From the introduction:

LAST CARD STANDING - A simple trick using three glasses.

FIRST CRUSH - A pair of swimming goggles act as X-Ray specs to reveal the chosen card....

This collection includes more effects and a fun balloon item to get some laughs. Remember, these are all self-working and if you have a Svengali deck, a few duplicates etc, you'll be able to do most of these straight away. Good fun, and great value at just ten bucks!

1st edition 2023, PDF 21 pages.

Here, Chris Wardle explores the use of long and short cards (Svengali Deck style) for mental magic presentations. Whilst initially he gives some background to the Svengali deck and how to make and handle one, some routines use variants on the deck and several don't use playing cards at all. There are thirteen routines from Chris plus some additional commentary and a bonus routine from publisher Paul Hallas. Chances are after reading this you'll not think of the Svengali deck in the same way again.

Since the appearance of this booklet (his third) Chris authored Magic For Everyone (2006) and...

Spirit Rope Ties - Three effective rope ties to use for pseudo-mediumistic stunts or for a comedy effect where, no matter how securely a spectator tries to tie you, you are free almost instantly....
