I'm working on a routine involving the SvenPads and the Amazebox using MadLibs the game as the premise. It's sounds fun and sort of nostalgic for some of us.

Just echoing the thoughts of Mr Murray.
Received mine yesterday. The Sven pad is a thing of such mundane simplicity... ..that it is as 'smooth in operation' and as 'non-stick in terms of suspicion'.... ... as a teflon coated otter lying on silk sheets that have been soaked in sunflower oil. Steve |

I got to put mine to good use in a strolling gig last night. I used it to perform a force and a variation of Flex5. I keep a gaffed and ungaffed one in my left jacket pocket, it all fits quite It worked perfectly. I can do a switch with my eyes closed if I choose to. Also saw Brett use it to blow some teenagers away the other day!
Highly recommended. Best, Craig

Q&A Time...
I received an email question tonight (and similar questions on the Facebook group) that I think would be helpful to others: "Hi Brett. I have a question about these, probably a dumb one but here it goes. From reading in the Café it sounds as if you have to take a pen and write out on each page, regular and force, the information? Is there some other way...pictures glued to the pages or something? Mine would look like crap if this southpaw filled in the pages. Thanks." Answer: The power of the SvenPad is the fact that YOU create the pad and what is written in it. IMO the messier the writing - the better. Your SvenPads can be written on in any language with anything you want. If I pre-printed the SvenPads with all the words or illustrations (which I have thought of as an offering), I honestly think it would greatly WEAKEN the innocence and boring/ordinary nature of the pads. I mean - why would OfficeMax or Staples sell pre-printed memo pads with perfect writing and stunning illustrations? They would not! And frankly that would make them suspect as heck IMO. So for those of you who have worried that your hand writing stinks, or that you will mess the pads up... consider putting your fears aside. The fact that YOU make the pads and YOU write the words makes the SvenPads even more perfectly disarming. I'm actually dyslexic (writing - also known as dysgraphia) and to me it adds - not subtracts - to the invisibility of the force. BUT that being said, of course one CAN glue photos on the pages... or use a rubber stamp (as Jaizon did so nicely). The SvenPads are a canvas for your creativity - but my feeling is simple is best. I also offer all past purchasers a special one time "SvenReplace" option - if you should ever mess your SvenPad up, write on the wrong pages, or just need a spare... past customers can obtain one extra spare at a VERY special price. I check all past customers against our database to make sure only past clients get this offer and use it once as offered. Anyway, if you have messy writing... embrace it and leave your OCD at the door Hope that helps. Any past clients that need the SvenReplace link - send me a PM and I will supply it. All customers will be checked on the database and one SvenReplace per customer. Thanks again for your support!

While this is a very convenient solution, I also agree with you that it is best to write on the pad imho. Nobody would ever buy a cheap pad and then instead of writing in it, they put sticky notes in it. A cheap pad is cheap because it is made to scribble in, wear out, and throw away. I just think it would add WAY too much attention to what should be invisible in the context of the routine.
With that said, would this be a practical solution outside of its contextual barriers, yes. Quote: On Jan 22, 2016, rasmus wrote:

The SvenPad Supreme is locked in a very friendly (but PHOTO FINISH) race for Jamie Grant's 2015 Trick Of The Year.
I want to thank those who have supported this product & project - not in my wildest dreams (seriously) did I ever think that the SvenPads would have a shot as the top contender for this yearly poll of the best of the best. Voting will be ending in about a week. If the SvenPad exceeded your expectations (and you haven't yet chimed in with your 3 favorites of 2015) I would respectfully ask for your consideration at the Tricks and Effects section. Thank You

Another idea is to ask different friends and family members each to write a word/drawing etc on a page. In this instance the variations in the handwriting and the fact that they are written by different people could be used within the context of the routine. Heck use different colour pens/pencils etc and the colours could even be used as part of the routine too.
This way, if you are concirned about the writing, it wont be yours anyway Best Wishes Michael

Okay. I did my Sven Pad Un-Lock routine (Un-Lock from Eric Samuels) this week. Walked right out into the audience with the pad.
Flipped through it so someone could call out the different numbers for the audience to hear so that there was verification that the numbers on the pad were all different. Then I chose another person and fanned through and had them call stop. Someone else wrote down the number. Then I did the same for the second number. And for the third I prefaced it with this. "Okay. I know some of you out there are thinking that I just stopped at a page that I wanted to get those first two numbers and that would be a good thought, but of course, I'm not that good. But for those with any lingering doubts I'm going to do the third number a little differently." Then I put the pad in the last specs hand. She chooses the third number without me doing anything. I give the lock to another participant. They put in the recorded numbers and BOOM, the lock opens. I've left out most of the patter here. Went down just fantastically well. Just a super utility. |

I'm not sure if anyone has thought or done this, but you can use three pads - two non-gimmicked - and do a regular Mental Epic style routine. Of course, you would do it in a way that the force pad has the hardest info to supposedly get. It would be something like: first pad has a color on every page, second pad has a card on every page, third pad have countries & cities on their pages.
Just a thought. Greg

Just had a show tonight and the sven pad worked perfectly I felt so confident, that I put the pad on the flat hand of the spec, leaving him alone to open at a random page. perfect!!! I forced him the house, for my color match prediction:)
thanks brett for this game changer!!!

I sent a couple of ideas to Brett. He told me that the basic one had already been sent by Murry, but I haven't kept up with what's coming out here. I'll just post what I sent him and you guys can sort it out:
2 pad ACAAN: One pad has numbers from 1 to 52, but in random order and places on one pad. Another pad has a different card on each page. A deck of cards on the table. One person opens to a number and another opens to a card. they take out the deck of cards. Count down and TA-DA!!! Then right after sending that I thought of this: Two decks of cards and two pads on the table. You show the one pad with the various cards. You riffle the pad and they call out STOP. You even ask if the want to go further... they can. The card they stopped at is shown on the pad. Now you open the one case of cards, spread through and one card is face down... that card. Of course, that pack is an invisible deck. Then you say you want to make it even harder and not touch anything. Now you show both pads; the one with the cards and the one with the numbers. Now you do the Untouched ACAAN I described earlier. So I think doing it & using the two methods cancels each other out. Just more random thoughts. Greg
