Playing cards Cartamundi Copag 310 Svengali deck — plastic-coated standard poker-size pack

Copag 310 Svengali deck by Cartamundi is a Svengali-style magic deck built on standard poker-size playing cards with a plastic-coated finish. Designed for use in card illusions and routines, this pack combines the handling characteristics of poker-size cards with durable plastic-coated paper for repeated use. The set is suited to performers working in close-up magic as well as hobbyists learning Svengali principles and classic force and reveal effects.

Advantages

The deck offers smooth riffling and reliable control thanks to the poker-size dimensions and consistent card thickness. The plastic-coated surface improves resistance to wear, moisture, and fingerprints while preserving natural card feel. Because it is manufactured by Cartamundi under the Copag line, the cards maintain consistent print quality, edge alignment and backing that are important for predictable Svengali handling.

How to use
