That’s very kind words (considering the amount of magic on this platform!) I’m glad you’re enjoying what you see! Thanks for taking the time to share a good vibe!
I have to say that I still do the Sven deck day in and day out and it still rocks people! It has all the elements of a great card trick. Impossible prediction, ambitious card, deck change and impossible location. It has everything! When performed correctly it is a wonderful routine.
I'm thoroughly delighted I've 'stumbled' upon your site,what FANTASTIC content!! Your knowledge about the history of magic is lovely to hear & your card handling,just beautiful to watch! I can't wait for some quiet time to catch up on your previous posts-pure magic!!Thanks dude, very best wishes ♣️♥️♠️♦️🃏D.
I only use it for the 51 to 1 trick, whatever number the person wants me to stop at is always the svengali number put aside in a card box, works every time effortlessly, u can riffle through the pack at the start to show all different 🤗🤗
I just turned 71. When I was about 8, my father showed me a card trick. He riffled the deck and asked me to say stop. I did. The card I had him stop at was the 8 of clubs. Then he told me to think of that card. While I did, he riffled through the deck again, showing me that every card had turned to an 8 of clubs. At that point in my life, 2 things happened: 1: I was convinced my father was a strange visitor from another planet, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. And 2: it began my life-long love of magic. That deck, which I assume was the Svengali deck, is still relevant today, as is the stripper deck.
I personally don't find card magic to be my favorite but I'm trying to learn it because I think it provides a good foundation on the techniques of magic am I off base ? What says you Mr.Doug.? Can the fundamentals of magic be learned without cards or is a magician that doesn't know card sleights an incomplete magician?
The wonderful thing about Magic is: you can do it 1000 different ways and everyone of those can be right…. Playing cards have an advantage in that,their identities lend them selves to so many plots... and I would say, yes, basic card magic should be part of your studies That said, ya don’t have to do any card tricks! You do you.
Mr Conn, any news from Jimmy Talksalot? Your former student's blog posts have entertained and amazed me, and I'd love to say thanks.. do you know how to reach him?
@@DougConn Here's to hoping he hasn't changed email address.. thanks for the help! Love the vids as always, you'll soon be too famous on Tiktok/TH-cam to answer your fans, so I'll tell you now; keep up the fantastic work!
Great stuff Doug, very informative...Love the channel. Thought I subscribed a long time ago....just did it! I have a Stripper Deck but it doesn't seem to work that well. ARe there different decks that are better than others?
@@DougConn just bought a new stripper deck of the elites from penguin magic and they work unbelievable. Thanks for all your tips... so now I'm able to pull out the reds and the blacks with no problem!
You sir, are now my new favourite magician on this platform. I absolutely love all your content and can’t wait to see more

The Svengali deck with the card that we had that had swapped with 6 of clubs had me messed up...Good Work, keep it up!
