00:00What's up, guys, quick question, if you could force any card and know exactly what card someone's
00:04holding, which one wins? Svangali deck or marked deck? I got obsessed with this, dug through a
00:11mountain of listings, and found the best deals for Svangali deck versus marked deck, which wins?
00:17Let's settle it. First up, the Svangali deck atom playing card. This thing has almost 5,000 sales
00:24and a 4.9 rating, and here's why, the atom finish shuffles like a real deck, so nobody clocks it.
00:30You force the same card over and over and they never feel it. At $4.96, it's the smoothest one
00:37here,
00:38and smooth is what sells the trick. Now, the budget king. This plain Svangali deck is literally $1.
00:471. 4.5 thousand people grabbed it, 4.8 stars. The force mechanic is identical to decks 5 times
00:54the price, same shortened cards, same riffle force. If you're starting out or you just want a beater
01:00deck to practice with, this is the one. Hard to argue with a buck. Third, the Svangali gimmick card
01:07deck for close-up and street magic at $1.80. Best feature? It's built for walk-around, thin,
01:15sheep enough that if a spectator mangles it, who cares, grab another. Nearly 4,500 sold, 4.9 rated.
01:23This is the workhorse pick. Buskers and restaurant magicians burn through decks,
01:28and at this price you can. Here's the marked deck contender, the secret marked Svangali deck,
01:33and it's both in one. The cards are subtly marked so you can read a card's value from across the
01:39table,
01:39plus it's still a working Svangali force deck. $0.55. Cheapest thing on this list.
01:47Ratings of 4.6, slightly lower, and the markings take a little practice to spot, but for the price?
01:54Insane. Last, the premium pick, Magic Cards Svangali deck
01:58Adam playing card, $6.17. Highest price, but the only perfect 5.0 rating on the board.
02:06Best card stock of the bunch, crisp fanning, and it's marketed for kids too, so it doubles as a gift.
02:13Nearly 3,500 sold. If you perform for real audiences and want a deck that survives a hundred shows,
02:20spend the extra couple bucks. So which wins?
02:24My take, the marked Svangali at $0.55 for pure value, the $4.96 Adam deck for the best all
02:31-around feel.
