MEET SVENKARDS® — THE NEXT BIG THING IN FORCING HAS DROPPED. IT’S LIKE THE SVENPAD® BUT WAY LESS OBVIOUS.So ordinary they could be mistaken for your average stationery, our new SVENKARDS® flew off the shelves and were the talk of Magic Live 2024!
Those lucky enough to get their hands on these have declared them "A GAME CHANGER" (what a surprise, eh?).
They’re a brilliantly sneaky way to force a word or drawing while giving your spectator a sense of complete control. Go on, let them handle the cards and call out what they see. Let them mix them up to their heart’s content, all while you manage just a smidge — in THEIR hands!
No one will be any the wiser.
The SvenKards® are the biggest leap in the SVENPAD® family since 2016. A stack of seemingly innocent index cards, hiding a clever secret that lets you force ANYTHING you fancy.
They may look and feel like your run-of-the-mill Oxford cards, but trust us, these beauties are crafted with a single aim: to provide the most hands-off, perfect force imaginable!
And guess what? They come unwritten, so you can do whatever you fancy for any routine — in any language.
Available in both LINED (3" x 5") or UNLINED (4" x 6").
Here are some performance perks that’ll elevate your magic game (or at least make it a tad more interesting):
- Index cards that look and feel completely normal — custom made in the USA (because why not?)
- We build every element from scratch, because we’re fancy like that.
- Each pair of cards looks and feels like a single index card (no one’s the wiser!).
- Hand them over to your spectator for a read-aloud moment! Almost zero chance of them catching on.
- Cards can be casually MIXED face up or down, right in the spectator's hands! (Good luck figuring it out!)
- Spread them out on a table for picking or mixing.
- Gather them back up and keep them neat. Clip them or hold by one end. The spectator gets to force themselves — in THEIR own hands. (How’s that for clever?)
- Each set includes 20 PAIRS (40 total index cards) and a snazzy coloured metal clip.
We promise the SVENKARDS® will astound you with their ease of use and deceptive genius. You’ll be second-guessing the quality when you rip open the package. Seriously, hold one in your hand and feel the magic!
"Dude. Love the SVENKARDS! Really- you are gonna sell so many! Already feeling with ideas. Thank you!"-
Dan White"The SvenKards are terrific, utterly deceptive and so well made!"-
Andy Nyman"Brett I did not realize how much I needed these until I actually got them at Magic Live! I have a very casual approach to mentalism, and I avoid anything that looks or feels like a prop. These feel so natural - I love them! My biggest challenge will be how to not over-use them."-
Vinny Grosso "WOW!!! I've had the pleasure of working with these cards and they are perfect. Organic. Natural. Effortless. Customizable. I'm already creating multiple routines for these. They are perfect. And they feel and handle great!"-
Jonathan Levit"I just received the SVENKARDS in Germany - and wow, there are incredibly well done, exceeding by far my expectations!! I got several ideas in my mind using them - and will share my thoughts with you soon. "-
Jan Forster"An AWESOME new addition to the range, and now opens up some very exciting routining possibilities!"-
Michael Murray"It's a giant leap forward in the world of forcing. It's outstanding."-
Greg Gleason"As you might expect, SvenKards have (once again) set a new standard for a magic and mentalism prop. My only questions is, what took you so long to make these?"-
Eric Samuels"The King of Sven Brett Barry does it again. He continues to innovate and hits an absolute home run with SvenKards!! All the versatility of Svenpads we all know and love, but now with hands off handling that allows spectators to not only hold the cards themselves but also write on them!!! A+++"-
Oz Pearlman"The SvenKards! Oh man, what a great idea to have these produced professionally and readily available. They handle really great even by the audience and are ready to force anything you want. They feel so different than the pads, and again they look 100% innocent and something you might pick up from your local stationery."-
Ivan Mallia"SVENKARDS rock! Amazing addition to the arsenal to help create miracles! Easily one of the top three purchases at magic live! Brett Barry booth was on FIRE. I just wish I would have listened to his advice and bought two packages."-
Isaiah Foster"Without question, they've certainly lived up to everything that I expect. Not only that, but I'm fairly certain that you will be seeing these being used more and more. They will eventually be as ubiquitous as SvenPads."-
Jheff Poncher "I played with these in the booth and even holding them in my hands (and knowing the secret), I was astonished."-
Christopher Weed"The SVENKARDS are incredibly good! Each card feels and looks like one card. Damn. Their precision cuts make them the best. Show each card individually first then stack them together. They will hold up with heavy use for a long time! Very excited to incorporate them."-
Justin Lewis"Got my SvenKards and couldn't be more pleased. Whoda thought a force prop could be examinable? Brett Barry's design and especially his simple technique for having the spectator handle and look through the cards is so "innocent" that no one will ever suspect anything. I'm so looking forward to adding this to my working repertoire!"-
Rod Robison"Brett's new Svenkards are amazing. Love the idea of them being able to be mixed by the audience. Highly recommend picking them up."-
Adrian Saint "The SvenKards are so organic and ridiculously foolproof. They fit my performances perfectly and I am already using them."-
Craig Fillicetti"SvenKards are the greatest magic forcing device since sliced bread. I mean it!"-
Kabir Khan"Bravo to Brett Barry. His SVENKARDS use what seem like ordinary index cards in an extraordinary way. They are deviously deceptive!"-
