My friend just got cajouled into ordering this DVD and was wondering what it's like.

Are the tricks well explained, are the tricks good, etc. the usual questions

I own volume one, and it's pretty good. It teaches many flourishes that look cool, and many of them would be good bluffs for poker or blackjack or whatever. The contents of the DVD have a wide range in difficulty. Some things, like his boomerang card, are tough to get. Others, like a few of his color changes, are easy. He does a good job explaining the "whirl" or card spin- a lot of people are trying to learn this. His teaching seems a bit rehearsed and not as personal as Jay Sankey, but he still teaches the moves well. I personally don't have a chance to use many of the flourishes, but if you want to fit them into your card games for fun (just make sure it's the appropriate time) it'll be just fine.

Quality of contents- 7-8/10
Teaching - 8-9/10
Value - 7-10
Overall - 8/10

I hope you find this useful.
