The teaching of the ECC in Born To Perform is ok. It teaches you the basics of the sleight. To make it look GOOD, I recommend you purchasing the instant download Nemesis off penguinmagic as it teaches you how to make the move almost absolutely invisible.

Here's a video demonstrating it. The first time is the way taught in Born To Perform. The second is the way taught in Nemesis.

I disagree - save your money and spend more time on the Born To Perform teaching as to the spec, it looks just the same if you do it right.

Oz teaches the basic handling but if you watch him perform it in the performances section you will pick up on his subtleties, positioning etc. that will make it look just as good.

I did the ECC and the teaching is very good in Born To Perform IMHO...it is very easy to do but it is easy for people to gigure it out... I did it to my brother and hes like I know how u did that and to my dad and he was like ahh thats very good so did my mom--tho they usually figure my tricks out
