For the price I had to get the digital copy of this. I owned the VHS (And still do) however the VHS
is shotty now at best, that and I no longer have a DVR. I am really happy that Penguin decided to
offer this as a download.
I don't use it all, but I did use "Heavy-Weight Boxing" for
years back in 2002-2005, and to sound cliche, it's well worth the price of the download. It takes
quite a set-up, and when I first learned it years ago, I seriously doubted it would ever fool anyone
up close, but believe me this is not the case! I've performed it over that former time period a good
50+ times and has never once, failed to get gasps of excitement from layman, and just because of the
construction, it's best in Parlor situations where you have a few feet distance. However, don't let
that discourage, that fact is, as most card men understand, No one is paying any attention to the
card case, and when they start to, you've already completed the part that could give off the method.
I love all things by Greg, with the exception of the Coffee House series, not that it's no good,
just not my cup of tea (or coffee).
I do believe this is a stunning opener with any card
routine where you can pull this off, and like i mentioned before, it's not difficult to pull off at
all.
I love this video, and Greg's (sometimes quirky humor)
As for the other
effects, they are still a bit difficult to pull off, and will require a great deal of practice, but
Greg is a master at the art of performing, and he's a great teacher that never ceases to be clear.
Special Shout Out to the folks on the Penguin team for putting this one up in their Coolbox
specials, giving pole like me an opportunity to revisit this awesome show, filmed live performance
at the Magic Castle. and Greg Wilson's Instructional style that's funny, thorough & entertaining
itself!

There is enough tricks/routines to keep you busy for awhile. Great value. No cons, great dvd to
build up your chops and showmanship. This is an old school dvd where there is a lot of substance in
material and not all the hyped up productions of today's dvd's. All the things taught can be
applied to future repertoires.

I enjoyed watching this routine as Gregory Wilson performed this in front of an eager crowd at the
world famous Magic Castle.
I am not a finger flinger by any means and much of this routine
is taking me awhile to master. That is OK because Gregory Wilson is a fun and wonderful teacher.
This routine is also a very good primer on routining and how to string along a series of
effects to create an act.
I think anybody who enjoys good magic will want to check it out.

This is the best card video ever.
Greg is a great instructor and his performance style is
amazing. This is entertaining and informative. You can even show your friends his act if you stop
playing it before the explanations start.
I love "Boomerang card of death."
Boxspring
is terrific and explained very well.
Phoenix split is very cool.
Worth buying just to
watch the performance, the explanations are a bonus.

Gregory is one of my favorites. I met him at the Live Magic Expo when they came to the San Francisco
Bay Area, and he is just as good a teacher on this video as he is in person.
Card Stunts
contains so many useful card manipulation moves, it's worth double the price if you strive to be a
real card sharp. Forces, breaks, passes, false cuts, flourishes, and virtually undetectable ways to
control card positions are all covered. He even explains how to make certain gimmicks you can use in
your card routines.
This will require lots of practice for most moves since these do
require some dexterity. But it's a must have for anyone who wants to do serious card magic.

This is good stuff. I am so glad I found this. Heavy weight boxing is a killer opener, and all of
the material is worker worthy. Highly recommended.
