hi fellows and fellowettes, as a newbie to magic, i was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction to find two packs of svengali decks one for ace of diamonds and one for the two of hearts. many thanks for any info. yours jesterly claypole

I am not sure around the UK where one would find this but I believe you can order them from Vanishingrabbit.com you can call the 1800 number and ask.

They used to offer specific Svengalis, but you had to call up to sort it out and to make sure they had the necessary one in stock. I don't know if they still do them, but it must be worth a try.

They're usually at Blackpool so have probably stocked up with shedloads of popular stuff - e-mail Clive there and ask the question.

You can buy two way force decks from The Bond Correction Cards4Magic in Ashford. They will make you up a two way force deck with specified cards if you request them. You can then also buy a normal deck of matching cards and split it in half, then add either set of force cards to each half of the normal deck. Remember to trim 1mm off either end (or sides if you prefer) of all the force cards, this is easy to do if you have a guillotine at home (they don't cost much) and you will end up with being able to have a force deck made to your own style and specification for any face card you choose at small overheads.

many thanks for speedy responses, will contact cards4magic at the weekend. love you all lots a claypole

Don't be discouraged if you don't get an answer from them immediately, as I think they don't open at weekends anyway, and are usually away for the Blackpool Convention week.

As a favour to claypole, would someone who is going to Blackpool mind asking Clive on his behalf? I know it's hardly urgent, but it would be a nice gesture to a new Talkmagic member.

From Clive & Co this afternoon:

Blackpool Magic Convention

We will be leaving on Wednesday 16th February and won't be back until Tuesday 22nd February. If there is anything you would like us to take along to be collected then please contact us by 4pm on Tuesday 15th February.

Thanks for that, Mandrake. Claypole should get a reply before they head off.

hi guys and guyettes, thanks for all the help, its nice to see that there are people out there who will still help out total strangers and trust me I'm strange. thanks again claypole
