Look at these things! I'm really excited about these; IMO SvenPad KøD are the best and most deceptive version since the post-its.

I really enjoy the Svenpads. Svengali decks are all about the reveal, and that is true with these pads as well. I came up with a routine where I have 2 pads, one with drinks (martini, champagne, etc.) and one with musicians. After the spectators each flip through and "randomly" select a page, I proceed to read their minds as music mix plays in the background (my patter relates to the music, which relates to the selections, which is timed to the "reveal"). Then, for a finale, I take an empty frame, cover it with a scarf, and then quickly remove to reveal . . . you guessed it, the selected musician drinking the selected drink.

The innovative new SvenPad KoD is now officially out - more than 700 units sold out all of my production - however more will be available within the next week.

They are available NOW at only the best dealers in the world including Alakazam, Stevens Magic, Pegani, Hocus Pocus, Vanishing Inc, Marketplace Of The Mind, Magicshop.Nl, and Hey Presto in Australia. More dealers ahead with some big announcements.

The SvenPad KoD is the world's first spiral bound SvenPad. It is my personal favorite now and handles like a dream.

Watch your TV's tonight BTW... Smile

A VERY nice review today of the unique SvenPad KoD's from Jheff at Marketplace Of The Mind:


"What I'm most excited about are the new KoD Pads from Brett Barry, which are the latest in SvenPads.

The original SvenPads were pretty much a lock on the best mentalism products of the year. The only reason is wasn't crowned the best was because the idea itself wasn't necessarily original. That, of course, has absolutely no bearing on its incredible usefulness and impressive production value. But when comparing it to other products that came out last year, it mattered.

That is not the case with these.

The new KoD pads look like memo pads, not notepads. Yet the papers inside work exactly like the other SvenPads and allow you to know exactly what the participant will be choosing. It comes in two colors - a red cover or a yellow cover.

I really think this is going to be an industry standard.

And, right now, this is the product to beat to be my pick for the best mentalism product of the year. My official comments are below and there is also a separate page on my website for the complete line of SvenPads. If you're still unsure as to whether you'll use them or not, let me just say that the SvenPads have been used by performers on America's Got Talent, Britain's Got Talent, and many other TV shows. If the pros are using it on TV, then it's certainly a major argument in favor of using these, right?"

And if Oz used his homemade Sven pad on TV then it's certainly a major argument in favor of using them on TV and anywhere for that matter.

Just silly.

I can't control who uses what and where. Using it on AGT was the idea of the producers.

People should use what works for them - other than that, nothing matters.

I wasn't wild about the use on AGT this round - the power is in a hands off use, with good thought in the routine.

The way they used it last night was very weak.

On another note, the newly released SvenPad KoD is the finest SvenPad ever made - 1000% unique, and a beauty in the hands.

I guarantee there is nothing else in the world that touches the newest SvenPad KoD with the world's first spiral binding. It is extremely deceptive.

More innovations are in the works.

I just received a KOD. I own 2 Sven Pad pockets and post-it notes. The KOD may be even better/more deceptive than all previous versions. I tried to make my own Sven pads out of spiral bound books, but they weren't as reliable due to shifting. The construction of the KOD is perfect- no shifting, perfect force, and small, even cuts. Really, these are incredible.

KOD's are the best ever IMO.
Really a leap forward in this type of prop with some subtleties that make it even more innocent looking and convincing.

I even like how the cover was changed since the original promo pictures were taken. It now says 50 sheets on the cover rather than 40 (that always bugged me.)
Yeah, why not make it look like they have even more choices? Plus, it looks better if you want to do, for instance a force of the 50 states, or playing cards, or anything along those lines. True, very few would ever notice it but it's all in the details, right?
Nice also that it is available in 2 different color covers.
I, for one, am glad that Brett pays attention to details.

Sharp eyes!

I never actually told anyone or announced the printing change on the front of the KoD Svenpads from 40 to 50. The idea was helpfully suggested by mentalist Dr. Eamon in the Netherlands and thank you to him for the suggestion.

I am thrilled you like the new KoD pads! Insane right?

They are my proudest achievement with this project - they are the finest & most deceptive SvenPads ever created... and nothing else touches 'em.

This journey started almost one year ago to the day. It has been a lot of fun.

The gorgeous new American 8.5 x 11 (3 hole punched, 1st time ever in a SvenPad)and Euro A4 stage size SvenPad KoD's will be released exclusively at MindVention next month!

Watch for the new large format KoD format ... on the Rachel R*y show on October 26th with O* Pearl*man.

We also have some gorgeous new large format water based PENS that were helpfully suggested by Apollo Robbins that will also be available (limited supply) at our SvenPads MindVention Booth.

The new larger formats + a special edition ParaPad style version will be available exclusively to prior customers and our FaceBook group members first.

Also thanks to Theory 11 and Jonathan Bayme for partnering with me and releasing the new special edition SvenPad KoD this past week - featuring Magician Blake Vogt:

Just a quick question to save me 17 pages of this thread....is there anything added to the paper quality of these pads for durability? You riffle any pad of paper enough times and the pages will begin to warp and wear out. After all, its just a pad of paper. How long will these last for the high price tag?
