Honestly, I would consider perhaps getting a different video or set of videos. I have all five of the revelation series myself. Daryl is a great teacher, the videos are all very well made, and I love the Encyclopedia of Card Sleights, but the Revelation series aren't for everyone. It really depends on what you're looking for. If you know sleights (he doesn't teach any in this series) and are just looking for dozens of different ways to reveal the spectators chosen card, then this is for you. Just be aware that this is all the series contains, many different ways of revealing a spectators chosen card. A lot of the videos just present different variations of revelations that were shown on previous videos, something else to be aware of.
Honestly, it might be more worthwhile to buy some videos that teach really mind blowing tricks that you'd like to learn. Like some of Sankey's videos, or Bill Malone's series, or Ammar's series. Again, as I said, it all depends on what exactly you're looking for. This is just my opinion of course. Hope this helps.
Mallusionist definition of the Simple force: The cards are fanned and if the spectator tries to take the wrong card, the magician holds onto the deck really, really tight.

I, too, have all five, and I agree that they are not for everyone. I was thrilled to buy them when they came out because I was just starting a search for different ways to reveal the spectator's chosen card. Voila, my search was over.
And if anyone can present one pick-a-card after another and not have you throw up after the first 40 or 50 of them, it's Daryl. I must say that the presentation of the ones I know well were a little light. Compare Bill Simon's Business Card Prophecy as written up in his book (recently published by Dover Pubs.) (great) with Daryl's presentation (merely good). Which ones to buy? I would start with vol. 1 and then vol. 2. The last 2 volumes are for die hards. --Rick |

I have all five too, and I think that this videos were made for beginner because they don't have any routine with advanced techniques.

I got these from a guy who hated them (all 5). Am I glad I got these? You bet! This is true Daryl. He is one of my favorite magicians & teachers.
I cannot find fault with anything that has Daryl's name on it. Great topic, guys! Doug |

I have all of them and still don't know how to end a pick a card trick most of the time. Even though he goes over tons of stuff, I think you would be better picking up a video with full routines on it. Just My Opinion.
