Hi!
Is there anyone that have The System by Dan and Dave Buck? Is it good?

It's always worth using the Search Function in cases like this - check out http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic6885.p ... m+dan+dave

Well, all I will say is that if you're into flourishes and cuts, this could be for you.

I purchased it thinking it was something else (I'd actually wanted Cutting Edge Cards by Dean and Born... doesn't even sound similar!)

Anyway, I persevered and watched. Observations:

1. Very clever, nicely presented, but even with a fair amount of experience under my belt, I found the teachings obtuse and almost impenetrable. And I also feel that this is a 'show off' DVD rather than anything more

2. Snappy, paced and rich: multi angles, slowed down, speeded up... but this isn't an easy way to learn. It doesn't show HOW, it just shows the moves. Learning them is down to the viewer, to deconstruct and practice

3. No magic! I was expecting Dean and Born's magic video (mainly for the coins section) but all I got was some 'jackass' antics and a load of flourishes. Not my cup of tea!

Advice: There are much better flourish DVDs out there I'm sure. I'm not a HUGE flourishes fan, but I am sure you could do better.

Sorry Buck Boys!

just a little note.

DONT BY THIS IF YOUR LEFT HANDED. IM LEFT HANDED AND IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE HOW THE FLOURISHING IS DONE. UNLESS YOU HAVE SOFTWARE WHICH CAN MIRROR THE IMAGE. WHICH I GET FROM A FRIEND IN THE END.
