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 a sellout, and 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 (3" x 5") or UNLINED (4" x 6").
Note these cool performance advantages that will raise your performances to new heights:
1. Index cards look and feel 100% normal - custom made in the USA 2. We manufacture every element - from the ground up. 3. Each pair of index cards looks and 100% feels like a single index card 4. 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 5. The cards can be casually MIXED face up or down, in the hands of your spectator! 6. Spread the cards out on a table to be picked up or mixed 7. Gather the cards and make them flush. Clip them or hold the cards by one end. The spectator proceeds to force themself in THEIR own hands. 8. Each set includes 20 PAIRS (40 total index cards) and a colored metal clip.
We promise that our SVENKARDS® will blow your mind in terms of the ease of use, deceptiveness, and the precision quality that will even fool you when you open the package. Hold one card in your hand and feel the power!
"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
"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
This is a great set of envelopes to use as switches, etc as there are the usual wallets around which can do the same. but to do bank night with more options really does need 2 more envelopes.The 2 envelopes are fine for switching and mentalism... For a pro version the envelopes are strong etc. So you will not tear these. These should last a long time. I have to agree the video instruction to open the envelope correctly should be a little more involved.. but none the less you cannot fault the rest of the video tutorial. Thanks Alex for your fast delivery, your the top man.
Really the best way to product a glass and not worry about smashing it
I wanted a realistic looking glass without carrying actual glass to gigs in case of breakages and these glasses are simply brilliant. Will be used both with RD360 and other productions.
This is the best flash string I've used but you have to be careful as it really does produce a lovely but strong burn. I found 24 hours drying minimum was good.
Firstly the bulb is absolutely stunning. Totally clear and does look and feel like a proper LED lightbulb. It is though lacking two main things. Firstly, a way to trigger with a delay or perhaps an underarm switch. There is no way you could put the remote in a shoe and not walk without a limp. At least with a delay you could trigger, hand the bulb to someone and know that within 5/10 seconds it will turn on without needing your hand in your pocket. Secondly it is lovely and bright but does seem just slightly suss that a bulb without any electricity can turn cleanly on just like a light switch would do. You would of thought some kind of flicker would be nice. This means it could then be used for a séance routine when "ghosts" are present or even when you are close to a spectators chosen object/card but not over it so the bulb flickers and then goes completely on when over the object. I did contact MS Magic when Shine 2.0 came out with these requests but obviously not included in 3.0. So hoping that 4.0 one day might address these nice-to-have features.
Great product performed last night. great fun reactions. I liked the little easil idea so from my local WORKS shop purchase four two small and two large for future jumbo card effects. Mathews Ideas using his story line meathod always work well under perfoming enviroments. I performed in a parlor setting but can easily be performed in a walk arroud.
Thanks to Alex of Monster Magic speedy dispatch the weeks practice paid off well
