LOVE this. Brett nailed it!

My first pad I have customized with "Dead Rock Stars". Many can be found at http://www.av1611.org/rockdead.html

I like to have the guest imagine themselves at a concert - the sights, the sounds (of course), the smells (we do have our american freedoms in some states Smile)

Then, you can get several hits - for example if you picked Jerry Garcia you could have the guest imagine the whole scene - the smell of that disgusting Patchouli oil, Tie Dyes, that weird "doggie paddle" hippie dance deadheads do, the smell of burning....ummm...herbs, vendors selling everything from grilled cheese to friendship bracelets in the parking lot. The poor souls "looking for a miracle" (ticket) in the lot, all the stuff that goes with the concert experience.

I will be testing this at private parties this holiday season - bet it kills!!! Will report back after some performances under fire.

I can't decide what size to buy. Yeah, I know, buy both!
What size are people finding preferable for small stage and parlour shows?

By far the SvenPad pocket size are most popular - maybe by 5 to 1.

The pocket size are big enough to use on stage - I used that size at a casino holiday show last night and they were great.

Made up the first of my pads last night. I did learn a valuable lesson though, don't use a pen that smears haha. Needless to say the pad isn't exactly usable at the moment and I will be placing an order for a replacement soon. Not the pads fault at all, my own. O well, you live learn Smile

Eli -

I just sent you a PM message.

As far as ink and pens from the beginning I have been recommending that all SvenPad users do NOT use Sharpie or typical oil based ink markers - they will show through and they will smear (or as they say on the East coast - shmear).

The best pens to use are the newer GEL BASED INK PENS - medium or thick point - similar to the Pentel "EnerGel" or Pilot G2 pens. Amazon, Walmart, Staples etc all carry these. They are best as the ink is nearly instant drying and they do not show through the pages.

My old lady tells me "size doesn't matter"....then again, I pay the bills and take out the garbage, so she may have ulterior motives. Laff.

For those in the UK, I've just made a pad up using a 'uni-ball eye'
I regularly use these pens for everyday writing, and they have worked perfectly in my first Sven Pad. They're actually available in most supermarkets in a 3-pack, but here's a link on amazon:

I won't even think of asking what your intention with all your posts on this thread is (actually I don't care), but you have of course the right to come foreward with your opinions.

Now, would you please step back, you have made your point.



Sorry Sven. But this is a growing problem in the industry in such that re-worked ideas being sold and hyped as "the must have" or in this case ,"a game changer'. Sorry, but this is not a game changer in mentalism.


Really brother?! I think these are cool. More flies with honey and all that....

That was a really really old comment from 3 weeks ago - I respect all opinions.

The long list of over 250 satisfied buyers - and numerous well known pros worldwide - proves that many realize the power of this new tool Smile

A nice discovery I would like to share - thanks to the talented Oz P:

With the SvenPads you may safely have your spectator open the pad (even accidentally) from the SIDE rather than the front.

No problem. The precision nature of the pages makes your F no problem.

With home made DIY - this is not always the case.

Didn't think to try this until he suggested it!

Just a few quick pics someone took during one of my programs with the regular size pads - used a hypnosis themed routine as you may surmise from the photo. Love these!

Hi Guys!


I've had more time with this now, and I just used it at another special event. However, just for fun I gave Cassidey's routine a try this time. It's great! Huge reactions! These pads are awesome, so I just thought I'd reiterate what I said before, that is basically, that you can't go wrong with these!


Yes, I could make my own, but this saves me some time in my crazy busy schedule! Thanks again Brett for making these available!

To Bob and others, if you don't mind sharing. What context. Did you use . I used contemporary video games geared towards teens.
And for my tradeshow work I used product related to the companies I am representing .

RNK is correct, only if he thinks he's correct, just like every other opinion in the world - opinions are in the mind of the holder. You can't force your opinion on others, it's up to them to decide for themselves. You can only lay it out there for everyone to see (opinions that is)

It's only a game changer if the folks that pick one up believe it is and I can see that many on the Café and elsewhere think it is (the sven pad that is).

I never thought about having one of these.... Until they were available. Now I have some ideas.

You have to admit RNK (if you own one) they are quite nice. Almost perfect. Brett obviously spent some time in the evolution phase.

Game changer or not... The product is excellent!

Thank you again for the compliments guys and I am thrilled that you are thrilled.

I also wanted to give an update on international orders.

International orders are typically sent out the same or the next day following your order using USPS First Class Mail. Right now with the holiday crush - it seems international mail (especially to Australia) is taking close to 18-20 days for arrival in some cases. Orders to Western Europe seem to be much faster - more like 10-12 days.

If anyone has not yet received their order in a reasonable time, please send me an email and I will provide you with the latest tracking info.

For anyone that does not receive their order after allowing enough time, I will send out a new replacement at my own expense + upgrade the shipping at my own expense.

USA orders are sent Priority mail and in most cases that is taking 4-5 days (not even close to the 2 days promised).

It's the holidays my friends but the good news is that over 99% of SvenPad orders are getting to their destinations.

I pride my self on excellent service and a quick response - feel free to always email me if anyone has questions.

I currently have plenty of stock on hand to fulfill orders. Thank you again!
