I have it, and have watched it through a couple of times. My opinion's too split to give a thorough review, but here are my thoughts:
There are some useful and interesting opinions on there about mentalism in general.
There are also some good presentational tips and pointers.
Cassidy goes through an exhaustive list of bill switches (but no time is given to the trickier aspect of opening and reading mid-performance).
I honestly can't recall if any full routines are explained. If they are it must only be one.
So it's a very interesting and useful DVD for those interested in the 'art' of mentalism.
But it doesn't teach tricks.
It's a stylised production, but much of it looks a bit naff to me.
Cassidy is great, let's not be confused about that, but at times, this DVD felt like it was 'neither nowt nor summit'.
