What people are saying about Pokemon Svengali Deck

magicorthodoxy says...
This is a great way to turn a classic magic trick into something a little bit more modern and a little bit more contemporary something that probably kids and some adults would at least recognize [...] the negatives are it's not card stock playing card stock it's gaming stock so that means riffling through the cards the the cards tend to Flap flap flap a little thicker and harder and stronger because it's a thicker stock.
