Comments: Ian's teaching style is one of the best I have ever come accross, both in the world of magic and elsewhere. Every tiny detail is accounted for, and each move is covered thoroughly and completely. For example, I've just learnt the Faro shuffle using Ian's CD. I am now doing perfect Faro's, and I started watching the video less than an hour ago. This is compared to me spending an entire day trying to learn the Faro shuffle from Expert Card Technique. Ian is a fantastic tutor and I whole heartedly recommend this CD. And at £12 you cannot go wrong. You will not find this quality of teaching on a CD for the same price (unless it's another of Ian's CDs). Infact I would say that you will not find this quality of teaching on most DVDs which are twice the price! This CD is a must for any serious card magician, and I would recommend it to anybody else aswell.

Thanks for the excellent review Will.

I totally agree with you on what you say about Ian's teaching ability. I have only seen his basic coin cd so far (highly recommended if you are looking to get started with coins), but I found it excellent. Very easy to learn from.

The b** moves made easy cd has been on my wish list for a while now, so maybe I will bite the bullet and give it a shot.

Yea, I've actually just ordered the Basic Coin CD. I've never really got into coin magic but if Ian's CD is as top notch as his BHMME CD then I really have no excuse!

I really recommend BHMME. Like I said, the teaching is amazingly thourough and there is so much valuable information contained on the CD that I really think you'd be missing out if you didn't get a copy.
