Is there a name for the deck, built like a Svengali Deck, except that the force cards are the long cards and the regular cards are short?

I forgot the name of it, but Dan Tong put out such a deck, years ago.

When I read reverse Svengali I thought of a different way of using it which is sort of like doing a "classic force". Put all the long cards face up and behind them put the short or force card, all face up. Before forcing the card you can show the cards as being all different as you turn the deck face up and fan out a few cards being certain not to go beyond 15 or 16 cards. Than turn the entire deck over and
fan out about 5 to 15 cards for the spectator to select one which they do. |

It is the basic way to force a card using standard forcing deck.

Oh yeah, I wanted to mention one other thing. I think the original name of the Reverse Svengali is "The Siamese Svengali pack", that is what it is called in the Encyclopedia of Card Tricks.

I had Marty at Martini Magic make one for me. He does excellent work.

Old thread, but I was searching this topic because of a particular multi-phase effect that Magick Balay did in his Penguin Live lecture that was pretty sweet, IMO. He tells you how to make your own, but if you want to buy one, here are a couple of links:

I made a couple of my own. They are probably the same effects he taught on "Tuesday Night Tricks" (I forget what season) on Real Magazine.
