Tracking the Number - Your spectator chooses a number. His/her selected card is exactly that number of cards from the top!
Spelling a Name - Your friends will love it when you use their name to find their card!
Ambitious Card - This classic routine is easy to perform with the Svengali!
Touch - Use your Svengali in a completely different way. Fool your magician friends!
Everywhere and Nowhere - 'Hypnotize' three spectators to see the same card. This is Oz's personal favorite!
Impossible Location - Have your spectator choose a card AND choose a location. Their selected card vanishes from the deck and appears IN THEIR SELECTED LOCATION!
Performance - Head out on the Las Vegas strip to watch Oz entertain with the Svengali!

I haven't bought this particular product, but have owned a Svengali deck for 10+ years and it is by far one of my favorite gimmicks.
The only downside is that it CANNOT be inspected. Two very important things necessary when purchasing a Svengali deck are making sure that a replica deck is easy to obtain and that the Svengali deck looks like a popular brand in your area.
If your Svengali deck is a brand no one has ever seen before, it raises suspicion. This can be used in your favor, by saying 'It's a magic deck I found..' or some other line, but I prefer to not have people be on their guard right away, which is why a nice 'Bicycle' Svengali deck is what I prefer.
My suggestion is to always have two decks when performing with this tool. You'll need to have a coat/pocket/whatever big enough that no one knows there are two decks so that when people say, and they WILL say 'Let me see that deck!!' you can be like.. 'No no... don't worry about it!' as you place it in your pocket... and when they persist, and they WILL persist, you can say 'Fine... here..' pull out the other deck and let them inspect it.
This solidifies everything you've just performed in their mind.. You didn't want to let them inspect it, so they know something is up, but then when you do, they can't figure out what the hell is going on... and you are now 'The magic man!'
I'd highly recommend a Svengali deck to any beginner looking to get into the world of card magic. It's what got me started and I've never looked back!

One of the best in card magic!
by Tommy Lévesque-Morisset from Montreal, Canada on 08/07/2010 04:05:15
When I got this trick I was surprised about how easy and self working the deck is! Beginners or advanced magicians will love performing with this deck. So many effects possible, Oz Pearlman teaches you everything you have to know. This comes with a DVD and a Svengali deck that are top quality. Svengali is a deck that can perform miracles and with little practise you can too! The only downside to this deck is that it can't be handed over for examination or you will spoil the secret but it still a really good trick. You will blow people away, people will look at you mind boggled? You are guaranteed to get good reactions with this. I performed it for a couple of my friends and family and they all looked at me and were AMAZED! BUY IT! you won't be disapointed, every tricks with OZ Pearlman and Penguin name on it never disapoints. ADD TO CART!

Great for beginners

Oz is a great job teaching.
Beginners will benefit tremendously from this deck since it is almost self working. With a little creativity and Oz's direction, beginners will amaze people. The cards are top quality/not dollar store stock.
Another great product from Oz.

basic
by Joe Tepper from Chicago, IL on 04/04/2010 20:38:23
i got this as a promotional item and was happy enough. a svengali deck is something every magician to have. the dvd is a little basic tthough. oz goes through how to use the deck well, but frankly i wass dissapointed by the routines shared on the disk. most of them were basic and not visual. there is much more to discover about this great deck.

I love doing the effect that's in the demo it gets some amazing reactions and is sure to get some laughs when you show that ever card is just 1 card and the teaching and menus are great and easy to follow. If you haven't used a Svengali deck before you need to buy this one because it is amazing!
