Comments for the most part I really liked this, slightly off the wall not loads to remember which meant presentation could be perfected more and like Sankey’s style; simple but effective.
For me the effects which work best are 1, 6, 13, 20, 22

ice knight good review, maybey you could add a little bit to the end of each description to let us know if its cards, coins or other thanxs.

sankey certainly likes to pack in a lot for your buck routine wise but he has a tendancy to repeat effects across his works, he also has works dedicated to coin's and cards and general closeup too.

Nice review man. short concise and to the point!
Boy wonder, to be honest the DVD cost works out pretty much the same as here even with the postage so thats not too much of a problem. I don't think it is available over here yet. :cry:

The only way you'll be able to purchase this is via the USA at penguinmagic.com or via e-bay

Boywonder - who will he be selling these through? I understood the exclusive for this was via penguin. With any luck this may be cheaper than buying via the US

Thanks
