Review on 🃏 Rock Ridge Svengali Deck: Powerful Force Cards (Red, 1 Pack - 2 Decks) by Jeremiah Small

Revainrating 1 out of 5

not the quality I expected.

Svengali bikes are not all the same. I have two decks that I used to buy from the store and the experience with those cards was very different. So what are the problems with these decks: 1. Decks have half and half (forced cards and normal cards) but they don't have card choices for normal cards - ie. In a deck there were only clubs and diamonds. The lack of reach should be obvious to audiences. The other pack had a better range. Luckily I bought 2 sets (4 packs) and was able to mix and match them. If you have spare decks of regular cards, you can shuffle them with them as well. But it shouldn't be necessary. Unfortunately 2 deck pairs were the same (7 of Spades and Jack of Diamonds) so I only have 2 forced cards instead of the 4 I wanted…. I'll blame it on simple bad luck.2. It's more serious... 7 of Spades cards tend to stick, so when you cut decks (top and bottom, not the sides of course), the Force card often goes up as well. This is a disaster for tricks because you just can't be sure that the Force card will stay down on the bottom half of the deck. This doesn't happen with Jacks of Diamonds... it happens with both 7 of Spade decks, making them useless for tricks. …. Again, this has never happened with the two previously purchased bike backpacks. I've done dozens of tricks with previous packs and mastered the manipulation techniques very well, so I know it's not me. Unfortunately, as I live abroad, I cannot exchange them. 4 decks (2 pairs of decks) I bought, I only have 2 usable decks with the same forced cards...effectively giving my one power card...4 packs to get a usable deck of power cards is very disappointing. In the future I will only buy these in a shop where I can test them directly on site.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I won't say anything
