I watched the explanations before viewing the performance. At one point in the explanations I sat bolt upright - it was the mention of something that I realised would add enormous impact to a routine I am already doing. To me, that one tiny detail is worth many times the cost of the set.

In another explanation I thought, "That's too obvious, it wouldn't fool anyone." Yet when I viewed the performance DVD the next day, I thought, "How the hell did he do that?" I was fooled by time misdirection, reframing and logical disconnects.

That routine is going into my repertoire.

Another routine I liked is the Just Chintz. It's not something I would include in a show, but isn't it just perfect for a dinner party?

Sounds like what I need. I already know many effects. I need to know more about the history, psychology and what NOT to do dealing with mentalism. If anyone got one for sell, notify me by PM.
