DVDs arrived in the post at lunchtime and lost me an afternoon when I should have been working!

Great stuff - as always,

Maybe not enough rock music for the intros though ;-)

Without a doubt, I think Still Flabbergasted is the best trick on the set. It is very reminiscent of Dr Daley, I Presume and I can vouch for that being a real audience kicker. I wouldn't do them both in the same set since they are similar from the audience perspective (transposition) but with completely different style and methods.

My other two favourites are Unwanted Visitor and Supreme Prediction.

The ideas for the Phoenix Double Decker are nice, and at some point I'd like to see some of your thoughts as to the use of the normal Phoenix deck (with its one way principles).

Overall I think this set is more accessible to those who don't want to master too many sleights, but to make the tricks entertaining (and less like a puzzle) the presentation is key. You make this comment in the closing section and I think it is spot on.

All power to your shuffling hand!
