This is basically the same as the normal Svengali Deck, however it is reversed.  This means you riffle it in the opposite direction to show all the cards the same and vice-versa.  What is useful about this approach is you can drop cards face-up and they are all different.  It is useful to have both versions as you never know which set you want.  For the Paul Curry effect below the Reverse Svengali is better for a cleaner experience.

These are made by Steven Perry who is a professional card mechanic and does an amazing job for just a few dollars more.  These are not bulk manufactured, each deck is made by hand with meticulous attention to quality control and precision.

If you need any sort of standard or custom gimmick deck I suggest you contact Stevens Magic and I’m confident you will switch too, I know personally I’ll never go back to the mass dealer ones 🙂

The Pop-eyed Eye-Popper Deck is a routine for R.W. Hull’s Nu-Idea Deck created c. 1935. If you want one of the cleanest forces by simply fanning the cards these are the way to go.

This is a variation of R.W. Hull’s Pop-Eyed Eye-Popper Deck which allows you to force up to four cards instead of just one. I’m not sure how useful this is because you lose the easy of forcing which you are used to with the traditional version.

I love these beautiful brass bullet wands from Shawn Reida 🙂

Shawn has been the resident pro and right hand man of Mark Stevens at Stevens Magic for many years.  He has created a few items over the years, some of which have been sold directly by Stevens Magic and some are sold on at his store on eBay.

But my favorite of his items are easily these hand-made brass bullet wands.  They come in four main models:

1. Standard Size (this one)
2. Standard Size with magnetic tips
3. Mini Size (7″)
4. Mini Size (7″) with magnetic tips

Shawn will also customize the location of the magnet if you don’t want it directly in the tip and he’s a really nice guy to work with, and will go out of his way to make you happy.

Most of us use a stripper deck when we first get into magic then forget about them as we get older.  Recently I needed one for a particular effect and thought I would try out these Professional Grade Cards from Stevens Magic.  Well they were so much better than the standard ones I’d been using I decided to upgrade many of my gimmicked decks. 

These are made by Steven Perry who is a professional card mechanic and does an amazing job for just a few dollars more.  These are not bulk manufactured, each deck is made by hand with meticulous attention to quality control and precision.

The most popular rough and smooth deck of all time! Although, it is often mis-credited to Burling Hull, it is precisely the same deck as Joe Berg’s Ultra-Mental Deck c. 1936.  The now standard “invisible deck” comedy presentation was conceived by Eddie Fields and  popularized by Don Alan.

These are made by Steven Perry who is a professional card mechanic and does an amazing job for just a few dollars more.  These are not bulk manufactured, each deck is made by hand with meticulous attention to quality control and precision.  The rough is solid and will not let you down under pressure.

It is not clear who invented the original version of the Prayer Vase  but ads started appearing in the 1930’s.  Davenport’s called it the Demon Enchanted Vase (c. 1934), Floyd Thayer called it The Chinese Jug and Rope (c. 1936) and Abbott’s called it The Oriental Vase Mystery (c. 1936).  In the Abbott’s adverts they say it was of Oriental origin and that it was first introduced to America by Percy Abbott.

This beauty was created by George Robinson of Viking Mfg. and it is turned of white gumwood and painted with several coats of lacquer.  Hand cut decals are then applied with three finishing coats of clear lacquer and a final waxing to complete the process. 

The vase does not use the standard method and when it was released it did not even include a rope and original gimmick.  To my mind it better if you can do the original rope version first then introduce the wand and use the new method to give an overall better effect.  So I’ve included a rope, gimmick and instructions for the original.
