Does anyone know of a good supplier for Svengalis in the UK?

I hear good things about these cards. Cheap, but not horrible quality if you're pitching:

The company Rubie`s Masquerade sells a Svengali deck that is ok/good for laymen from my point of you. Instructions included. But there is a high minimum order value (500 pounds). Price per deck a little over 1 pound.

Thanks for your responses guys, they are much appreciated!

A couple of weeks back I purchased a single deck of cheap Svengali cards to gauge their quality. They were the same make as ones Juggernaut187 shared in the link above. One downside was how the cards were packed so tight into the box that it was impossible to remove them without tearing the box. Aside from this, I've also taken a look at prices for setting up at fairs and festivals and realized I'd probably be better off, hawking the Svengalis in local bars and similar venues instead - there's a neat story of how Tom Mullica used to do this in one of the old magic magazines.

The Svengali deck that I bought and linked above was tight too, but I believe to remember that it was always possible to remove them without tearing the box, at least this was not a general problem.
