Review
The cups look and feel cheap. The balls are made of rubber and make loud noises while moving in the cups.

DVD - 2 DVDs
1st DVD Basic Sleights
2nd DVD Sleights with the wand, opening, middle and final load sequences to be put together by yourself.

Eddy Ray first shows the move/part of routine and then explains it in Detail with glas cups. The quality of sound and picture is very good.

As an absolute beginner you'll find (all) the basics here to study but you'll soon have the need to search for other material.

Forget this DVD if you already know the basics. Eddy Ray's style is a bit boring and you'll get no hint for pattern or interesting complete routines (exept the bonus routine which is not interesting).

positiv:
a lot of basics
negativ:
no help with pattern, presentation etc.
nothing "fresh"
nothing advanced



Overall
For an absolute beginner in cups and balls: 3/5
For someone searching for new ideas on his basic cups and balls 1/5

i just got bought this for christmas tho with a nice brass set of cups an chrocheted balls.

mn is this guy boring. concise but boring and also i just didnt think he was that good at the sleights.
anywho still ive learnt alot
