I have a lot of favourite card effects, most of which I do not, or cannot perform!

My favourite one I perform is the face up center deal demonstation and one I don't perform would be Ortiz's in the hands triumph :wink:

control isn't bad, I have used it.

I have also used the tradition "ball" method, and Jermay's method as well.

All are good, and Control isn't all bad...a good effect when you're tucked up in bed with your girlfriend and want to pull something out on her to impress her (when you fail in other areas ;)) but isn't something that I would use as a working piece - too many angle issues if performing to public.

Always go with the "ball" method if working...but then, you already knew that ;)

Control is a bit too angly for the real world, but as I said, is something that is worth knowing just in general, if you want to pull it out at a moments notice and don't want to use Jermay's method.

Furthermore, what did the lesbian vampire say to her girlfriend?

I'll see you next month

(a lesbian freind told a whole crowd that on a kareoke night...had me in stitches ;))

Love

Well I think that Control is worth buying! It is a very genius technique, and the whole DVD is VERY funny which I think is the prize worth itself! You really don't have any questions at all, how to perform it and what you should be aware of - Wayne Houchin and Daniel Garcia is taking you from point to point and give you several explanations how you can perform it and how to build up the effect!

I actually do not have anything negative to say about this product. It is FUNNY and a great and clever technique! Buy it ;)

okay so temptation got the best of me and I purchased the download, and I have to say, the effect is amazingly simple. Its not a rehash of some of the things previously mentioned by some of the more experienced members on here, and is something I never would have thought of. It is a little angle sensitive but with a little practice in front of the mirror, I feel it could be pretty workable.

My only real dislike is that for some reason, every time Wayne Houchin and Daniel Garcia get together on a dvd, I find it difficult to pay attention to the teaching of the effect because they spend so much time goofing off. It's really hard to get the finer points mentioned in the teaching section because Wayne and Daniel keep trying to one up each other with jokes.

Other than that small gripe, its a good dvd and a great effect

well, i don't think control is worth its money
many people, i guess, once found out how to perform it
will want to throw something to the tv/monitor.

it's very very angle issue, and if the audience is smart enough
they can see or feel the "move"

i would prefer you stick with the old method
