The MAD Deck Svengali Set – Expert Playing Cards for Card Magic & Sleight of Hand
The EXPERT SVENGALI MAD DECK by Madison, made by The Decksmith, is a precision-crafted tool designed for playing card tricks, card magic, and sleight of hand.
This MAD Deck Edition is limited to just 52 sets, with each set built around a single, powerful principle: control through a chosen force card.
Every purchase includes...
1 x SVENGALI Forcing Deck - Choose your force card
1 x SVENGALI Masterclass
At the point of purchase, you will select your force card—the card that appears repeatedly within the Svengali deck. This allows you to tailor your routines and handling to a specific outcome, giving you control while maintaining the appearance of a completely fair selection.
The Svengali deck is one of the most established tools in card magic, enabling you to repeatedly guide a participant to the same card under natural conditions. A spectator can shuffle, cut, and choose—yet the result remains consistent. The method is built into the deck itself, reducing the need for advanced sleight of hand while still delivering powerful, convincing effects.
“A single card decides everything... You shuffle. They cut. They choose. And somehow… it’s always the same card! The Svengali Deck is one of the most powerful tools in card magic; deceptively simple, endlessly versatile, and capable of miracles in the right hands. Whether you're just stepping into the world of sleight-of-hand or refining your craft, this deck does something rare… It makes the impossible feel inevitable.
WHAT MAKES THIS DECK SPECIAL
A specially prepared deck that allows you to control outcomes without skill-heavy sleight-of-hand
The ability to force a card, cleanly, naturally, repeatedly
Perfect for mind reading effects, predictions, transformations, and impossible revelations ( all taught by Madison in the Workshop )
Can be used straight out of the box with minimal handling
Looks and feels like a standard deck to your audience
IMAGINE THIS...
You place the deck into their hands.
They shuffle. They cut. They take a card—any card.
They turn it over slowly…
...it's the force card.
You never touched the deck. And yet, somehow… you did.
This is not just a trick deck. It’s a doorway. A quiet method… hiding behind loud impossibility.
And at the centre of it all... a single card waiting to be chosen, from the SVENGALI Playing Cards.”
— Daniel Madison
Alongside the Svengali deck, the included standard MAD Deck allows for seamless comparisons, switches, or demonstrations using a normal deck of playing cards—enhancing the realism of your performances.
Supported by Madison’s video masterclass, this set provides a complete system for performing playing card tricks and card magic using a proven method that delivers consistent, repeatable results.
This is not simply a deck of playing cards. It is a structured tool for creating controlled outcomes—designed for both newcomers to sleight of hand and experienced performers looking to refine their craft.

GOOD SOUP
Every Madison deck is a magical marvel, I personally think they are at the top of deck manufacturers.
Cool device. Fun to use instead of a normal stacked deck. A whole bunch of magic and deceptive opportunities available with it!!
I think Fracture is absolutely brilliant.
One of the most beautiful, inspiring, and special decks created by anyone. I’m humbled and beyond grateful to have one. The stock is brilliant, and one of my most cherished pieces of art. Mad Love D’ 9♣️X 3♦️

Fantastic
A nice addition to my collection with some meaning. Thank you
All 3 decks were great. On my wish list to get a deck of unsigned cards to use on a regular basis. Team Madison was great. I had a small issue with the order. The team responded quickly and replaced the item. I received it just a couple days latter. Thank you Daniel and Team Madison. I will order again and again. You are one of the best companies that I've ever seen. Thank you again.
