2 Decks of Magic Trick Playing Cards - Svengali - Secret Marked & Stripper Decks

I bought these to do some magical busking for charity and it worked. The included cards give you lots of ideas for tricks and you can find many more online to get you started. The cards are good quality and have been riffle shuffled many times and aren't bending or fraying at the edges, even after my first tries at shuffling. The backs are fairly generic so you can easily pick up normal matching packs for some tricks.My favourite trick with the Svengali (Long 'N' Short) was to write a message on one of the copied cards (6 hearts in my deck) and produce it out of my pocket or off the floor after asking them to pick a card and shuffle it back.With the tapered cards I'd separate out the hearts or diamonds and turn them around, get my volunteer to shuffle then proceed to pull out all the hearts as a sign of my love.The only problem is the box says they're trick cards so you probably want to swap them into a different box before using them.

Great price good quality

Really good quality for the price.Bridge cards so good for small/children's hands.Loses a star as the stripper deck does not need to be marked and makes it identifiable as a trick deck with a little scrutiny whereas the tapering is never spotted.Also the packs, inexplicably, say their trick on the side in big letters so you'll need them loose or in a new packaging.Be aware the long and short deck is always the same card. So you cannot buy multiple packs to do the same tricks with a different card as I had hoped to do.

Good quality and good fun. Used to have some when I was a lot younger but these are much better quality. The instructions are easy to follow and they give you ideas for tricks and there are lots of other ideas on YouTube.

I’m shocked how good the quality of these cards are especially how cheap they cost. Doesn’t take long to learn how to read the Marked cards either.Highly recommended buying these. They won’t disappoint.Please note~ I am a honest and trustworthy reviewer. The reviews I write are my thoughts alone.

I am familiar with all the tricks these propose and they do them well. I bought these due to their price and because my long standing bicycle card version have bitten the dust some 7+ years on. However, I cant see these being as long lasting. They are smaller that my previous bicycle decks and just feel more 'plastic' when handling. I will be ordering a better quality set BUT, for the price, for a beginner, for the brilliant reaction the tricks these decks allow you to do... its a no brainer for anyone wanting to play with some great tricks.I cant comment on other peoples eyesight or the uniformity of the print, but in countenance to some comments about not being able to read the 'mark' on the back of the cards... I had no issues, once the code it learned from the instructions, its quite easy to read the card suit and value from its backing and that leads to loads of 'how do you do it' tricks.Good value and good fun, thanks.

Excellent service, quality and great value for money. I have used them twice now and they are an excellent company to deal with.

Given to my granddaughter of nearly 10, she and I practiced some of the tricks until she was confident enough to try out and amaze the family. Hours of fun and laughter, but it will have its limitations and the audience may suss things out if you use 1 pack too often on the same people. Will need excellent eyesight for some of the tricks, but no problem for a youngster. Give it a go!
