I got this video about two months ago from Abrakazam. What an excellent video this has turned out to be. I have been able to improve my card handling considerably due to the straight forward explainations from Richard Kaufmann.

I had personally tried to get some of the techniques down by following some recommended books, but without a doubt this video seemed to unlock card handling for me.

I used the video for about two months as I learnt each technique before moving on. I was interested to see that my skill level was very considered very high by a leading inner circle member of the magic circle! He even suggested that many working magicians did not have the skills which I had learnt from this video.

I used to purchase "packet card tricks", but now I am even more taken by being able to "finger fling" a real deck rather than a gimmicked pack!

I thoroughly recommend this video, it is very easy to work with for learning basic techniques. All I am looking for is one which does the same with coins.....

i would agree with everything that is said.

some of the camera angles make me laugh, one in mind is when the top half of Richard Kaufman's head floats by on the bottom of the screen.

Great vid

I'd like to get a copy of the video - but where is it available? I can't find it on the 'net at any of my usual suppliers.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks, TeeJay (embarrassed grin) - I don't know how I'd managed to miss it there, but Lawrence's service was as quick as ever and I'm already well into it. The presentation is a bit weird in places, but the material is excellent

This is excellent! I thought I knew most of the moves on here, but some of the advice makes you think twice about your own technique (well it does if your me!!) and will improve it no end! Good DVD-well worth the money!
