MEET SVENKARDS® — THE NEXT BIG THING IN FORCING HAS LANDED. THINK OF IT AS THE SVENPAD® WITHOUT THE PAD.So unremarkable that no one will see the sneaky trickery coming. Our fresh batch of SVENKARDS® flew off the shelves and sparked plenty of chatter at Magic Live 2024!
Those lucky enough to lay hands on these beauties have been throwing around phrases like "TOTAL GAME CHANGER."
This sneaky method lets you force a word or drawing with astonishing ease.
Hand the cards to your spectator and let them read what's written. Let them mix them up without a care. With just a smidge of guidance, they can force themselves — all while they think they're in control.
They won't have a clue.
The SVENKARDS® mark a significant leap forward in the SVENPAD® series since 2016. A stack of seemingly innocuous index cards that carry a cleverly concealed secret, perfect for forcing just about anything you fancy.
These might look and feel like your standard Oxford cards, but don’t be fooled — they’re crafted with a singular aim: to give you the most hands-off, spot-on force imaginable!
They arrive unwritten, so you can tailor them to your heart's content for any performance — and in any language.
Available in both LINED (3" x 5") or UNLINED (4" x 6").Consider these nifty perks that will elevate your performances (yes, I said it):
- Index cards that look and feel completely normal — proudly made in the USA.
- We control every aspect of production — from scratch.
- Each pair of index cards looks and feels like just one card.
- You can HAND them to your spectator for a read-aloud moment! With minimal risk of them clocking the secret.
- The cards can be casually MIXED face up or down in the spectator's hands! (No worries, I promise.)
- Spread the cards out on a table for easy picking or mixing.
- Gather them up, keep them flush. Clip or hold them by one end — let the spectator force themselves in THEIR hands.
- Each set includes 20 PAIRS (that’s 40 cards in total) and a stylish coloured metal clip.
We’re confident that our SVENKARDS® will leave you gobsmacked with their user-friendliness, cleverness, and the top-notch quality that’ll have you raising an eyebrow when you first open the package. Grab one 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!"-
