7 Diamonds.
I think forcing with a Svengali Deck isn't exactly a very good option since other much cleaner forces can be done just as easily. |

I could be wrong, but last time I checked, mine was a 10 of Spades.

I have one which I rarely use. The force card is the seven of hearts.

I think we get the general idea that the force card could be any card in the deck. I sell Svengali Decks and have found this to be the case.
Let's move on to some of the great things that you can do with a Svengali Deck. SETH

I think as long as the people go WOW at the end of the trick it doesn't matter how the card if forced.I know some may think this a lazy way of doing a force,but for me it is a way to take some of the presure off so I can focus on the trick.Anyway the only person that should know that a card has been forced is the one doing the magic.

As TuKanz notes, the forcing method is not important as long as the trick works.
Any force that works reliably is a good force. A Svengali Deck works 99.99% of the time, so that's what I use. A Svengali Deck and a Card Duck is an unbeatable combination! SETH

I'm amazed that every time I use a Svengali, nobody asked to examine the deck afterwards. Not one so far.

If your handling is smooth, most people will assume that it's just a regular deck of cards. With practice, it is possible to do both overhand and riffle shuffles of a Svengali Deck. Mark Lewis' pamphlet, "The Long and Short of It," has some very good information on this point and includes other good tips and moves for handling a Svengali Deck. Click HERE for more information.
And if you switch the deck for a real deck at the end of the Svengali routine, you can continue on with the show and let the specs do the shuffling! SETH

Yes, I do perform those riffle and overhand shuffles to make it look like a normal deck. I also have the Mark Lewis pamphlet. Good info by the way.

The Nuway Svengali is a very useful deck. The main advantage of this pack is you have the option with the pack face down on the table to either cut to the force card or cut to a different and also riffle those options without having to keep turning the deck over. just a simple movement of the thumb.
7o but rocking on
