What do you think of this video, it sounds very promising, I'm thinking about buying it. How about some opinions first.
Coming soon... Who knows!

It is an incredible performance by someone whose talent will make you envious. He is a very skilled card man and is also very good at structuring his effects for maximum impact. He is a student of Darwin Ortiz's and is one of the few people that can perform a center deal.
I enjoyed the tape immensely. I highly recommend it. PS - His material is difficult, however there is a very easy trick on the effect that is worth the price of the tape. He fooled Lennart Green with it.

So much to do. So little time.

It's the effect he calls "Cheating at 21". I have used it several times and it goes over extremely well.

Yes. Their are actually quite a few easy to do routines on the video. Cheaters aces, Spread em, spectator estimates the aces (if you can do a faro shuffle ), aussy cooler.
Expert at the bridge table is pretty hard. Too much culling in a lot his work for my liking He briefly touches on the centre deal he uses and gives a few tips on it. Probably one of the easier centre deals I've seen. Still ******* hard though Euan |

Very good tape. His method for the overhand jog false shuffle, using a chunk of cards rather than just one for the jog, is much more deceptive and I now use that false shuffle almost always to control the top stock. He's very talented and it'll kind of tick you off how good he is.

I loved this tape. His False Dealing & Riffle Stacking techniques rock. The cutting the Aces is a bit risky as you'll see in his performance part. My absolute favorite that got me badly was his triumph type of effect. He spreads the cards so that you cab literally see the face-up, face-down condition. I'd rate the tape a (9) easily.

Andrew is a very good guy and a great talent. I haven't seen the dvd yet, but knowing his abilities, I am willing to bet it is a winner.

Another of Andrew's strengths is the CLARITY of his instruction. This clarity is a result of Andrew's extensive knowledge and 'deep' familiarity of the material that he teaches.

It´s a great tape,and difficult but you can learn a lot of good card magic. His books are very valuable too.
Best is yet to come ¡¡¡

I have seen the video. It's been a while since I saw, like 2 years or so. The content and performance was great. He is very skilled with a deck of cards.
From what I recall, it seems as though it contained poker/gambling type routines, and if that is what you're looking for, I'd recommend it. K.C. Ushijima |

His center dealing is an awesome display of skill IMHO. There is also a very clever "double duke" routine using his center deal that requires almost no set-up. That there is worth the price of the tape for me.
I also liked his Expert at the Bridge Table & there was a couple of utility type of moves in the tape I like: the Fan Peek, cutting to the aces etc. He makes what he does.. look easy.

Is this coming out on dvd anytime soon?

He is like an Australian Lennart Green and his stuff is quite similar, in fact he does mention Lennart Green a few times in the tape. You won't be disappointed if you do buy it. Thankfully it's not made by l&l ( nothing against them as they have promoted the worlds best magicians ) therefore you don't have the annoying, sorry, very annoying crowd. Especially if you are British

Its worth the money , he does a nice gambling routine
and his spectators cutting the aces is just a killer. |
