MEET SVENKARDS® — THE FUTURE OF FORCING HAS LANDED. IT’S LIKE SVENPAD®, BUT WITHOUT THE PAD.So inconspicuous, they’ll never see the sneaky secret coming. Our new SVENKARDS® were a runaway hit and the buzz at Magic Live 2024!
Those who’ve tried their hand at these have dubbed them a “GAME CHANGER” (but we won’t hold it against you if you don’t).
With these beauties, you can force a word or drawing with a level of freedom that’ll have your spectators scratching their heads.
Let your audience handle the cards, call out what’s written, and mix them to their heart’s content. They’re practically forcing themselves with just a smidge of management — all in THEIR hands.
They’ll be none the wiser.
The SvenKards® are the most significant leap forward in the SVENPAD® lineup since 2016. A stack of seemingly innocent index cards housing a clever secret, ready to help you force ANYTHING.
They might look and feel like your average Oxford cards, but they’re specially designed for one purpose: the most hands-off, spot-on force you could imagine!
They come unwritten, so you can use them however you fancy for any routine — in any language.
Available in both LINED (3" x 5") or UNLINED (4" x 6").Check out these nifty performance perks that’ll elevate your shows (or at least make them less of a train wreck):
- Index cards that look and feel 100% normal — custom made in the USA (because why not?)
- We build every element from the ground up, like a proud parent.
- Each pair of index cards looks and feels like one single card — no funny business here.
- You can HAND the cards to your spectator to read aloud! Seriously, almost ZERO chance of them figuring out the secret.
- These cards can be casually MIXED face up or down, right in your spectator's hands! (Don’t worry, it’s fine.)
- Spread them out on a table for picking or mixing — the choice is theirs!
- Gather the cards and make them flush. Clip them or hold them by one end. Your spectator can force themselves in THEIR own hands. (Mind blown.)
- Each set includes 20 PAIRS (that’s 40 total index cards) and a fancy coloured metal clip.
We guarantee that our SVENKARDS® will astound you with their ease of use, deviousness, and the top-notch quality that’ll leave you scratching your head when you first open the box. Hold one card in your hand and feel the power!
"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!"-
