    The only channel featuring this calibre of pros playing paper magic while giving an insight on their plays... Hats off to the Cardmarket team.. Watching Arne win the pro tour was what brought me to follow the pro scene and Mengucci is just a legend.

      Agreed! Production value feels even better than the pro-tours etc!
      All info is presented so much cleaner :)
      (I know the PT's have to deal with the fact its live etc though!)
