I've typed in a few searches but can't see this listed anywhere - apologies if I've missed it somehow. This DVD set is listed at Emagictricks.co.uk and I'd like to know just how "incredible," "killer" and "diabolical" these effects are. Is the teaching up to scratch and am I right to be naturally suspicious when I see the words "self-working" and "no skill". I have a few sleights in my arsenal but am intrigued to see how good these are - I've clearly been sucked in by the blurb below!

"Best selling author, DVD producer and all-around swell guy, Michael Maxwell, has painstakingly researched and compiled what he considers to be the most amazing "self working card tricks," ever created - amazing tricks requiring No Skill! These are killer card tricks to have in your arsenal for those special occasions when someone hands you a deck and says, "Hey, Mr. Magician, show us a trick!" Even if you have never handled a deck of cards before, you can easily master these diabolical effects. Special care has been taken to include effects that are not generally known, even to knowledgeable card men."
