Learning card magic is like building a house. Everything starts with a strong foundation of basic building blocks.

This DVD will start you at the beginning of card magic and take you to a working professional?s level. You'll progress faster than ever before by focusing on the most powerful moves. This is a complete course in card magic without the filler. There's no reason to spend hundreds of dollars buying a set of 3 or 8 or 10 DVDs when you can learn the core skills (the ones that get used over and over again in thousands of tricks) on one DVD. This is that DVD.

By the time you're finished you?ll have learned 4 full-length routines--including the Ambitious Card. You'll have mastered the fundamentals, learned seven of the most powerful and practical controls (including the Classic Pass), developed two high-powered forces and picked up eight ultra-visual flourishes.

REVIEW:

Well, what can I say? This is probably one of the best Fundamental DVD you can ever get. It contain almost EVERYTHING that are most important to know to perform amazing card magic. It contain some of the most used card slight of hands like double lift and false cut. The four tricks that are taught on this DVD are tricks that you see on TV. They are easy and yet they are powerful, and this DVD taught you just enough flourishes to impress your friends. If you decided to purchase this DVD. You have just made one of the best choice of your life.

Here are some parts of the DVD I think you should pay full attention on:

All of the Fundamentals, especially Breaks, Cuts and Double Lift.

The Tricks (Ultimate Transpo and Biddle Trick are my favorite)

Control (focus on the Cuts)

Force

Some of the moves you should acknowledge them, but no need to really master them:

Classic Pass (I think it is one of the most overrated slight of hand. There are so many alternatives that are much easier)

Palm (You should learn it, but not that many tricks use Palms)

The Flourishes (Well they look awesome, should learn them, but after you master everything else on this DVD, some of the flourishes are difficult like Springing the Cards, took me 2-3 weeks to master it. So don't focus too much on it).
