How do Svengali Deck work?
The Svengali Deck is a specially constructed deck of cards that can be used by magicians to perform various card tricks. The deck and the tricks performed with it are self-working and require almost no skill. Burling Hull claimed to have invented the deck in 1909. The deck alternates between normal cards and shortened cards, with the shortened cards all of the same number and suit. When the deck is riffled front to back, only the normal cards are visible; when it is riffled back to front, only the shortened cards are visible. The deck can be dribbled or riffled to create the illusion that the deck is completely ordinary. It can even be shuffled. One basic trick involves a spectator choosing a card from the deck and returning it; the card can then appear practically anywhere in the deck, making tricks like the Ambitious card incredibly simple. The final and most stunning trick is when all the cards are suddenly presented as being all the same as the initially chosen card. Joe Stuthard's Trilby and Bi-Co Trilby Decks are variations on this deck. In the 1960s and 1970s, Marshall Brodien sold 17 million Svengali decks under the name TV Magic Cards. While the Svengali Deck allows for the easy performance of seemingly complex tricks, the conjurer cannot allow an audience member to examine the deck. The use of a Svengali Deck can also be detected by its characteristic faster riffle and sound. Finally, because the deck is widely sold in joke and novelty shops, many laypeople are familiar with it.

What is the best magic deck?
if your talking about a "trick" deck (magic deck) i would highly! recommend a svengali deck for beginners, for manipulation just some standard bicycle playing cards, or if your serious pick up some black tigers of some tally ho vipers , really nice decks :) btw the svengali deck is, the spectator chooses a card, you can make that card jump to the top multiple times, then the whole deck turns into the selected card :) For a white deck I'd pefer a fast soldier deck that cannot only get out enough creatures but can also give you alot of life in the back ground. So this fast attackers and life gain.
