The Savant Deck
Superhuman calculations. Surgically Clean Card Divinations. Unforgettable Mysteries.
Impossible. Powerful. Pure Magic. The Savant Deck is based on work from Bigblindmedia's Owen Packard!!
Magic's Batman & Robin, Craig Petty & Lloyd Barnes are back with one of the most powerful and versatile gimmicked decks that we've ever seen.
The Savant Deck is a specially gimmicked deck of cards that gives you the ability to perform tricks that LITERALLY cannot be achieved with any other method. Not even by the best sleight of hand artists in the world.
Master magician level tricks. Beginner level ability.
This is just ONE trick that the Savant Deck can do:
You never touch the deck. With your back to the audience, the cards are shuffled as many times as they wish. The participant then cuts as many cards as they want and spreads them face up on the table. Counting down from 3... 2... 1... you turn back for less than ONE second and immediately calculate the total value of all of the face up cards on the table.
The card values are totaled up and your lightning fast calculation is revealed to be EXACTLY right.
Best of all, you can instantly repeat this and every time it's a different result!
And that's one of over a dozen different effects that we teach you to get you up and running. What's more is that the tricks are all totally different in effect. From book tests, to magic squares. ACAAN's to pocket change predictions. There's really not much The Savant Deck cannot do.
The most powerful thing that our team love to do with The Savant deck is this perfect card trick that fools EVERYONE.
This is exactly what happens...
Your back is turned. An audience member takes the deck of cards and shuffles it as much as they want under the table. They take a card and hide it in their pocket. The rest of the cards are returned back to the box. Instantly you know the exact identity of their card. Every time. Instantly repeatable. Totally impossible.
Normally you could only do this type of trick with a stacked deck but that means the deck can't be shuffled. With The Savant Deck you can really let your audience shuffle the cards until they're fully satisfied.
The Savant Deck is a full deck of cards. Every card in the deck is there. There are no duplicates.
- Printed by the USPCC.
- Standard Red Rider back design - no markings to spot.
- Deck can be fully examined. In fact, we encourage it.
- Takes advantage of a classic principle that we all know and love.
Become a master of math. A ruler of playing cards. An expert at the card table.
All with ease and simplicity.
This, is The Savant Deck.
