Whoa there! There is NO built-in magnet. There is only a flat bottom to the pouch, where you could put a magnet if you wanted to.

I actually own an Assassin's Pouch. It's nice, but when you come down to it it's just a belt pouch, and not a very large one. The main pocket is smaller than a trouser pocket, just enough to hold two packs of cards. There are two very small side pockets to hold perhaps a couple of coins each. The Sharpie holder is a nice touch, but hardly necessary if you usually have a shirt or jacket pocket; it may be more useful as a TT holder. Not being a user of IT, I can't comment on how useful the eyelet is.

My bad.

I saw a demo and remembered liking that part, but yes, you have to put your own magnet in there.

After I logged out last night, I realised I'd not even mentioned the various deck cases you can get.

This is quite nice, but the leather isn't great. Mine wasn't very well made, with glue marks visible. Also, it is quite a tight space to queeze your deck into (careful, Bingo fans). On the plus side, the space for the business card is a good idea (although largely pointless if you do not have business cards, but not entirely useless...). You also get another pocket (but note what I said about how little space there is. Oh, and you get a free Bicycle deck.

For a little less, you can get Jerry O'Connell's Poker Card Case. No extra pockets, and no free cards, but it's very good quality. He does two different sorts; you'll probably want the one which has a belt loop. The other just holds your cards and looks nice!

I also have a case that clips onto your belt, but I can't recall the name of that particular item right now.

I'll just add that the first Assassin's Pouch I got, the loop for the karabiner clip unravelled when I tried to hang it from the clip. The nice nice people at Magicbox replaced it, of course, and the replacement is perfectly fine and very well made.
