The ultimate guide to learn amazing card tricks. Welcome, to The Foundation. How accurate is the ad copy? It could be a little more descriptive about what you get instead of 'everything is covered' but it's not deceptive. What's in the box? DVD Key points: two and a half hours of card magic skills taught. If you've ever wanted (or needed) an all encompassing volume of card skills, you can't go wrong with this. How are the production values: Sans Minds always makes a good DVD, nice empty backgrounds, crystal clear picture, great sound and waist high performances. A lot of over the shoulder shots and lots of time devoted to each move. Is it well taught: What is on this volume you ask? Here ya go Grips / mechanics / biddle Cuts straight / swing Shuffles / overhand / hindu / riffle Spreads / table / in the hand Technique / pinky break / thumb break / double lift / how to practice top palm / bottom palm / one hand top palm classic color change / bottom palm change / twirl change Double Undercut / riffle control / tilt move False cut ' 2 packet' / false cut '3 packet'/ duplicate cards / two card transpo the ambitious card BONUS MOVE: the spring My thoughts (what I personally liked/disliked): true, it seems like every magic house has their own version of this idea and true, this one doesn't stand out as being that much more different or special than all the rest, but that doesn't detract from the fact that this is a good resource. Sure wish there had been something like this when I was starting out. Difficulty / Skill level required: this is a great resource for beginners. Overall score: let's toss out the traditional score of 1-10 and make this something that we all can appreciate and understand. X Very Satisfied _____ Somewhat Satisfied _____ Neither Satisfied or Dissatisfied _____ Somewhat Dissatisfied _____ Very Dissatisfied _____ No Opinion I have other resources pretty much identical to this and I don't know that the world needs "another one" of these especially when there is so much good instruction out there now, but if you're a big fan of the SansMinds brand and you like their people - this is a great card magic resource for beginners. + Hey do you want to see my full review with even more of my opinions and ideas?
