Well I don't know how well it is taught on KK but it's ridiculously overpriced by the sounds of it. Born to Perform has it on.

Cheers,

Yes, get Born to perform. I have watched this DVD and is great for beginners.

Born To Perform has a great version of this as well as a good transpo routine as well.

As a beginning magician I found Kard Klub to be a great resource. If you view it as just learning two card monte then its very overpriced. The whole thing is more about learning presentation and patter. I also think they do a good job of teaching the trick, although its very simple and you could probably teach it in 5 minutes. So if you're an experienced magician Kard Klub might not be for you, but for a beginner I think its a fantastic video. At $39.95 for the download its a little bit overpriced, but not that much it runs at just under two hours.

Kard Klub often appears on ebay, it may be worth looking on there you might find a bargain!!!

Or there may be a reason why people are selling it so often - it may not be a good DVD!

They may also be copies so check before you buy.
