Hi All.

I just recently bought a Svengali deck and have been working some of the routines with it. It came with two "extra" cards in it that are not mentioned or used in any of the routines: a blank card and a double-backed card (one side red, other side blue, both same pattern back as main deck)

I am wondering if it might be possible to point me in the direction of some routines that would use these in a Svengali?

Thanks!

I bet it says something about them in the instruction leaflet. They wouldn't just give you them without a reason.

You don't really need them anyway.

Not necessasarily. I had quite a few sets of the cheap sven decks as a kid and occasionaly there would be extra cards that werent included in the instructions. I never had a DB card included though. In fact the instructions were just a couple of quick effects printed on two of the cards.

SilkBC, if you are familiar with a few basic moves just muck about with the cards and see what you can come up with.

I should put them aside and forget about them. You are going to have enough trouble learning the svengali deck. It is not as easy a trick as some magicians think it is. It takes a fair bit of practice to do it properly.
And most people don't.

Andy Nymans "Get Nyman" dvd has a very nice svengali routine, its a little different to the "normal" routine and has a bit of a sales pitch feel to it, but REALLY demo's the potential of a svengali deck

As for the odd cards - once you've got the deck down, use your imagination :p

My svengali deck routine is better. I am MARK LEWIS after all.
