Savant Deck by Craig Petty and Lloyd Barnes
Master magician level tricks. Beginner level ability.
A full mentalism toolbox in one deck
The Savant Deck is not a single trick; it’s a multi‑purpose powerhouse.
Over a 3+ hour tutorial, you’ll learn more than a dozen effects that look and feel completely different, including:
- Ultra‑fair book tests
- Stunning magic squares
- Impossible ACAANs
- Bold pocket change predictions
- And multi‑phase card miracles that look like real mind reading
What makes The Savant Deck different?
The Savant Deck is engineered so you look like a genius while doing almost no work.
- A specially gimmicked full deck – 52 cards, no duplicates.
- Printed by USPCC for a familiar, professional feel.
- Standard Red Rider back design – nothing odd, no markings to spot.
- The deck can be fully examined before and after your miracles.
- Built on a classic, beloved principle – reimagined in a way that simply wasn’t practical before.
Become:
- A master of math
- A ruler of playing cards
- An effortless expert at the card table
All with ease and simplicity. This is The Savant Deck.
What you receive
- 1 x Savant Deck (USPCC, Red Rider back, full examinable deck)
- 3+ hour in‑depth tutorial teaching:
- Core principles
- Multiple full routines
- Performance tips, subtleties and handlings
- A plethora of effects: some routines use just the deck, others optionally use simple additional props (coins, blank decks, etc.) to expand your set.
