Impossible.
Powerful.
Pure Magic.

Magic's Batman & Robin, Craig Petty & Lloyd Barnes are back with one of the most powerful and versatile gimmicked decks that we've ever seen.

The Savant Deck is a specially gimmicked deck of cards that gives you the ability to perform tricks that LITERALLY cannot be achieved with any other method. Not even by the best sleight of hand artists in the world.

Master magician level tricks. Beginner level ability.

This is just ONE trick that the Savant Deck can do:

You never touch the deck. With your back to the audience, the cards are shuffled as many times as they wish. The participant then cuts as many cards as they want and spreads them face up on the table. Counting down from 3... 2... 1... you turn back for less than ONE second and immediately calculate the total value of all of the face up cards on the table.

The card values are totaled up and your lightning fast calculation is revealed to be EXACTLY right.

Best of all, you can instantly repeat this and every time it's a different result!

And that's one of over a dozen different effects that we teach you to get you up and running. What's more is that the tricks are all totally different in effect. From book tests, to magic squares. ACAAN's to pocket change predictions. There's really not much The Savant Deck cannot do.

The most powerful thing that our team love to do with The Savant deck is this perfect card trick that fools EVERYONE.

This is exactly what happens...

Your back is turned. An audience member takes the deck of cards and shuffles it as much as they want under the table. They take a card and hide it in their pocket. The rest of the cards are returned back to the box. Instantly you know the exact identity of their card. Every time. Instantly repeatable. Totally impossible.

Normally you could only do this type of trick with a stacked deck but that means the deck can't be shuffled. With The Savant Deck you can really let your audience shuffle the cards until they're fully satisfied.

The Savant Deck is a full deck of cards. Every card in the deck is there. There are no duplicates.
  • Printed by the USPCC.
  • Standard Red Rider back design - no markings to spot.
  • Deck can be fully examined. In fact, we encourage it.
  • Takes advantage of a classic principle that we all know and love.
Become a master of math. A ruler of playing cards. An expert at the card table.
All with ease and simplicity.

This, is The Savant Deck.

***Savant Deck allows you to perform a plethora of effects. Some routines in the 3+ hour tutorial will require additional props (eg coins, blank decks, etc.)

"Well I'm proper fooled! With the Savant deck you'll look like the smartest guy in the room in every room. Ever"
- Noel Qualter - Official Penn & Teller Fooler

"I love how fair it is! The deck is in their hands! I honestly have no idea how this works. You've totally fooled me. I genuinely have no idea"
- John Morton - Official Penn & Teller Fooler

"Utterly amazing not only do I not have a clue, I cannot even think of a method that would allow you to do this. That's floored me! Not a clue!"
- Wayne Goodman

"The Savant Deck is a full show in your pocket! Is a tool that will allow you to perform mind blowing routines that will leave your audience speechless! If you want to perform crazy mind stunts or mind demonstrations, the Savant Deck is for you!"
- Luca Volpe

"Ummmmmmm. Wow. It speaks for itself...This is heavy doc! The Savant Deck is going to be massive"
- Chris James

"It doesn't take a genius to sum up that this project is gold! This is impossible looking card magic rooted in underlying devious principles that will fool and amaze"
- David Jonathan

"It's been a LONG time since I've been this excited about a piece of card magic. After learning the method, I literally had the biggest ear to ear smile. My favorite gaff decks are the ones that can be handled as a normal deck, examined as a normal deck, shuffled as a normal deck... but contain a secret so diabolical that it annihilates every spectator you show it to!"
- Kyle Purnell

"That's the best kind of feeling-when a method hides in plain sight and still slips by undetected! The Savant Deck is a beautifully deceptive tool, and the cleverness is often in its simplicity and structure. I can't wait to start using it"
- Marc Oberon

"This deck fakes more talent than most other magicians probably have - puts my performances on EASY MODE. I can finally feel like Peter Turner!! First I gotta work on the accent.."
- Dalton Wayne

Also...

I also meant to add in my review that I was initially a bit put off by the mention of having to riffle shuffle the deck as my riffle shuffle wasn't very good! Don't be put off as (A) you don't actually need to riffle shuffle, nor does the spectator, as other quite natural ways are taught that maintain the secret but allow the deck to be shuffled and (B) buying this deck and practising with it meant that I improved my riffle shuffle!

Definitely an EDC deck

Personally I love this deck. The concept behind it is really clever and well hidden. My favourite gaff deck has always been the Invisible Deck but you can be limited with how many tricks you can do in one go without the secret being out there. With the Savant Deck there are a range of different types of trick to suit everybody's liking and new tricks are appearing all the time. It really is good value and I would highly recommend it. The only slightly annoying thing is the way the tutorial videos keep swimming in and out of focus which make them a little difficult to watch at times!

Brilliant

This is brilliant.
With a few projects like this I tend to pick one or two routines from them and just do them.
With this I am doing 3 routines each after the other because they are so strong and are 3 totally different routines rather than a variation of the fist effect.

I am NOT a Card man.. yet..

I am a devoted coin man. After 20 years decided to try my hand at cards. I had to learn the Riffle Shuffle, that’s how much I know about card handling. Yet the Savant Deck is such a utility tool and so easy to use. I am well and truly sold on cards. Craig and Lloyd’s tutorial is so well put together and inspiring I have even made up a routine of my own incorporating a Quiver purse into the mix. I could wax on further but suffice to say. The Savant Deck is a sure bet for anyone who wishes to blow the minds of lay people. Just a big thanks to Alex too for the next day delivery. What a guy! 😊
