Full time Mentalist Brett
Barry created the SvenPad Supreme in 2015, and they have quickly become one of
the most popular forcing tools in the world – in demand by some of today’s top
performers. As seen on numerous TV appearances including America’s Got Talent,
Britain’s Got Talent, and many more! The SvenPads were voted in 2015 as the
Magic Café "Trick Of The Year” and the SvenPad line has grown to a powerful stable
of 5 elegant utility devices. No other forcing device is as flexible or will
fly "under the radar” like the SvenPads.
Any idea – any language – the
SvenPads will never let you down. Each SvenPad is hand inspected before
shipping for perfection – every page flipped and checked for proper operation.
The SvenPad looks like an
ordinary memo pad from your favorite office supply store – but working
Mentalists & Magicians realize what a powerful tool the new SvenPad represents.
The SvenPad line is offered in a superb lineup of sizes to fit any performance
need.
Your perfect FORCE has never
been SIMPLER, MORE DECEPTIVE or more hands-free!
Casually show all of the 50
pages to be different (words, drawings, celebrities, destinations, foods, phone
numbers, etc). Then openly hand the SvenPad to a spectator to secretly peek at
just one item. The performer instantly knows exactly what she is thinking.
These ordinary looking
"OfficeMax” style memo pads come as a blank canvas of 50 pages for your own
ideas – ready to plug into your creativity or cherished routine.
Have a spectator choose a
random dream destination and have yet another select a famous celebrity, while
a 3rd might pick a kind of food. How about a "tossed out” SvenPad routine with
multiple spectators – each with their own pad? A PIN # divination? At the end
of the show they can talk too – since there are none of the usual limitations
with a TOD.
Create the ultimate
confabulation with minimal effort and maximal effect – the uses for this
devilish utility device are limited only by your imagination
The SvenPad is a UTILITY
PROP. Most pros and hobbyists are already familiar with a multitude of ways
that they could use this powerful tool. Anyone ordering will also receive a
copy of Bob Cassidy’s "Scary Movie” routine that has been re-worked for
combining with the SvenPad.
The SvenPad is easy to carry
yet plays big either one-on-one or for stage. The multitude of effects possible
with the SvenPad are endless. Few forces could be more direct, with minimal
audience management and the fairest of procedures utilizing an organic object
that everyone has on their desk – a small notepad.
All the short (bottom) edges
of the SvenPad Supreme are precision trimmed, alternately long and short
all the way through. When the pad is held in one hand and slowly opened or
flipped from the front to back by the other hand, each page is seen to be
genuinely different.
No need to riffle the pages –
take your time.
No need to over-prove the
fair selection – since spectators are already familiar with these kinds of
small memo pads. This innocent little SvenPad is destined to become one of your
favorite mind reading utility props!

FAQ:
What sizes are available
for the SvenPads
The SvenPad comes in the
popular POCKET SIZED (5.5 x 4.25″) or STAGE SIZE (8.5 x 5.5) + the ALL NEW MINI
version with matte BLACK COVERS are 4.5 x 3″. The newest "Sven Notes” look like
typical Post-it pads, and come in a super small 3×3″ size. The pocket and mini
sizes BOTH easily fit in a sports jacket breast pocket (or a pant back pocket).
The new TRIPLE BANKS (4 x 6”) have 3 colors of paper and 120 pages total.
How thick is the paper
inside
The paper used is of a medium
(not heavy) weight. The reason for this was to strike a balance so that the
edges could be cut to a very tight tolerance. I recommend you do NOT use a
typical (oil based) Sharpie for writing on each page. Instead I recommend a
water based marker – pencil – a ball point pen, or the best solution being a
GEL INK based pen. So far I prefer the "Pentel EnerGel RTX” liquid gel pens –
medium point black. They don’t bleed and are fast drying.
Will the writing bleed
through pages?
Yes you MIGHT get some bleed
through IF you use a Sharpie or oil based ink (not recommended).
Instead please use a WATER
BASED pen/ink or a pencil/ballpoint pen for best results and no bleed.
Will there be some
variations in the short/long pages?
Yes – there may be very
slight variations in the short pages from pad to pad. These will not be
noticeable to your spectator or when looking at the back edges of the pad.
How many pages are on each
pad?
50 Pages total for all
SvenPads except the Triple Banks (25 and 25). The Triple Bank SvenPads have 120
total pages (40 pages each color, 20 force and non force pages within each
bank)
How does one know which
side is the front or which is the back?
The bar-code label indicates
the back (non forcing) side.
How durable are the
SvenPads?
The pads are as durable as a
standard office memo pad. Yes they will show wear after repeated uses, but in
some way that could add to the organic nature of the pad. Over time if the pad
wears or rips, you can buy more pads as needed. The pads should pay for
themselves over a short period of time for most working pros.
Does the SvenPad come with
routines?
The SvenPad is a UTILITY
PROP. Most pros and hobbyists are already familiar with a multitude of ways
that they could use this powerful tool. Anyone ordering will also receive a
copy of Bob Cassidy’s "Scary Movie” routine that has been re-worked for
combining with the SvenPad.
How are the SvenPads
manufactured?
The SvenPads are made at a
high end printing company using the latest manufacturing techniques for cutting
paper. The pads are aligned, professionally tape bound and finished on the best
equipment. The result is that when looking at the pad with the naked eye the
differences between the long/short pages is nearly imperceptible! I am proud of
the way these came out and I know you will be thrilled with the possibilities
for your shows.
Couldn't I just make my
own pads?
Of course you can – many of
us have been making our own pads for years using a paper cutter etc. The huge
difference here is the SvenPad is professionally made – each page is perfectly
aligned, bound and laser cut. Making a Sven DIY pad this perfectly (by hand)
would be pretty tough! Pros know that this kind of elegant (yet extremely
deceptive) utility device represents pure gold.
OK these look really cool,
but honestly they seem a tad pricey
These pads were not easy to
make and create. These are unique and no one else as far as I can tell is
making anything remotely like this. The goal was also to keep these pads out of
the hands of the merely curious.
How many pads do I need?
Purchase as many as you think
you might need. More pads can offer a higher number of forces. The SvenPads
will initially be available in a limited supply. Multiple pads could be used to
create a confabulation or other hard-hitting routine.
