DVK Pro by Steve Dela

DVK stands for… Dela Vs. Koran

I have ALWAYS used a Koran forcing deck… of which there are a few variations, each with its own name.

The version I present to you is technically a Koran 101 Deck (aka 5 Star Prediction Deck).

They are only “rough for now”… I hope to make a more professional set in the future… These do the job though for now…

This is a very special pack of cards that will force one of 4 different playing cards. Each ‘stack’ of 4 cards is repeated down the deck with an indifferent playing card between each one.

This means that the cards can be dealt ‘face up’ on a table and no one will see the force cards repeating!

This is because there are EIGHT different cards dealt between each set of two identical force cards. No one pays attention to every card dealt and they especially don’t remember what they saw ‘eight cards earlier’.

Each of the 4 force cards appears in the deck 6 times.

The other AMAZING thing about this set up is that you can spread the deck (face up) on a table, or between your hands and yet the audience can’t focus quickly enough to make out the repeated cards! It’s mind-blowing how fair and convincing this is.

The 4 Force Cards are…

Jack of Spades
3 of Hearts
8 of Clubs
5 of Diamonds
The most basic routine… and, the one I use the most is this…

A wallet is placed down on the table.

A pack of cards is introduced and spread face up on the table to show that they are all mixed up.

From a face down pack, the cards are dealt ‘face up’ one at a time into a pile.

The spectator is instructed to say stop whenever they like… They stop, that card is placed to one side.

The wallet is opened and inside there is an envelope, inside that envelope is ONE playing card, The Jack of Spades.

The card they freely stopped at is turned over and it is also the Jack of Spades!

They match! … a seemingly impossible prediction!!!
For this, you need the DVK Deck and the 4 prediction cards (provided) ready to reveal however you’d like.
I have mine in 2 x two way envelopes (to cover all 4 cards) and then those envelopes are in a small Himber Wallet, one double envelope on each side.

If you don’t have any two way envelopes or a Himber Wallet, that’s fine! You can use a regular ‘bill-fold’ style wallet. You simply have the cards in the “bill section” divided by bills or receipts!

If you don’t want to do that, it can be as simple as having one of each of the force cards in a different jacket pocket and you just pull out the matching one whilst saying… “and nope I don’t have 52 pockets…hehe”.

Now… It is fair to say that anyone could make themselves a Koran Deck… I did for years, you simply need to buy 6 packs of cards.

Sooo… Why should I buy myself a DVK Deck and not just make my own Koran Deck?

I am very glad you asked!.. The DVK has MANY Features and Advantages over a “home made” pack… all of which open up different ways to present your routines. This includes different ways to force the cards which couldn’t be achieved before now.

You’ll be able to perform all of the usual “Koran” routines… and many more due to the unique advantages that this pack presents.
