Cutting The Deck

Another essential skill to learn with a Svengali deck is how to cut the deck. While using this deck, you must demonstrate a type of cut to go along with a shuffle. Oz once again goes over this in detail so you can easily grasp how it is done.

Forcing

This is a fun and convincing way to make the Svengali deck look as real as possible. There are many ways to use a force with the Svengali deck, and Oz covers the best ways to do so.

Flourishes

If you wish to become more elaborate with your Svengali deck you can incorporate flourishes. While some magicians are not particularly fond of flourishes you may find it useful in your performance.

Double Lift

Magicians know this move all too well, and it most definitely works well with the Svengali deck. You will learn how to perform this move effectively and proficiently with Oz’s precise teaching.

Deck Switch

This is an absolute killer. Learning this move will elevate the Svengali deck to another level. All in all, the Svengali deck by Oz Pearlman is something that you should learn to use, and put into your performances. 

You may not like it, but I encourage you to try it.  Oz Pearlman will show you exactly what you need to know to pull off incredible tricks for your audience.

While a beginner is able to handle a Svengali deck, a more advanced magician can put their own twist on this deck.

In addition to the information provided, you will also learn a really ambitious card trick called hypnotise, where three spectators see the same card, and a spelling trick you will love.

There is something for everyone in the Svengali instructional DVD, but do not be put off by the simplicity of this deck.  You will learn plenty in this DVD, so go ahead and give this deck a try and start astonishing people.
