This is a very good DVD if you want to learn triumph. It includes the original by Dai Vernon as well
as some amazing variations. I will go over each one briefly.
Original Triumph-The original.
When the deck fixes itself the spectators are impressed, when the only card left face down is THEIR
CARD they are speechless. This one is quite easy to learn and master.

Rating: 7
Renegade-The easiest triumph on this DVD but still as good as the original. They
choose a card, you cut the deck and the deck has fixed itself except their card.
Difficulty: 3
Overall Rating:7
Colour Changing Triumph- One of the best on this DVD. Not only does
the deck fix itself, the only one face down is their card, But their card is the only blue one-the
rest of the deck is red!!!
Difficulty: 6
Overall Rating: 8
Four Ace Triumph- You
shuffle half the deck face up into face down. Instantly the deck fixes itself except for
one...two...three...FOUR ACES! Personally i really like this one as it suits my style.
Difficulty: 5
Overall Rating: 8
Emerge Triumphant- Personally i don't really like
this one that much but it is still a great effect. The deck fixes itself, their card is the only one
turned over, after loads of shuffles the deck if is (brand) new order!

Triumph Transportation- I also really like this one. You hold a mixed up deck,
your spectator holds the fixed deck but instantly they transpose!

This DVD also teaches you a few sleight and false shuffles.

The review "Anonymous from UK on January 31st, 2010" is excellent, but I wanted to add another
"thumbs up" for the Renegade Triumph. It looks slightly less elegant but no less magical, with an
amazing payoff: it is incredibly easy, can be done entirely in the hands, and has a double kicker
ending after the magic seems to happen right in the spectator's hands. It's a wonderful handling
both technically and presentationally. The "sleight of hand" required seems so obvious you'll be
glad the performance came first because not noticing it will be the only thing that makes you feel
your spectators won't; and after a number of performances, nobody suspects a thing!
There
are plenty of places to learn the classic routine (I would instead recommend "Michael Ammar - Easy
to Master Card Miracles - Volume 1" which will also teach you a ton of other great classics at a
lower price) but as someone who likes to affect a certain roughness or clumsiness anyway (which can
be easily exaggerated with Renegade), I can't see going back after learning the Renegade handling.
So at the end of the day, I feel like I bought this DVD for one new handling of a classic
trick... but still don't feel unhappy about that. Having a powerful impromptu effect I can do
anywhere, anytime, with a borrowed deck and no table, and almost no skill... that's a heck of a
trick.

I really liked this dvd by Oz. It gives you so many variations of a classic card effect. I liked all
of them, including Renegade which is one of the best in the spectators hands street magic effects. I
have performed it an it kills. Oz' emerge triumphant is really strong visual magic with a killer
ending of the cards in brand new order.
Get this now!!!

I have only studied magic for a short time; just long enough to have learned what most magicians AND
audiences consider Quick and Powerful Illusions or "reputation makers".
Triumph is one of
those Classics that astonishes non-magicians...like me :)
I can't express enough how
thrilled I was to realize that I actually understood, and could follow, Oz on his teaching of
"Renegade Triumph". When it comes to new concepts, especially in an unfamiliar field like "magic",
i am a SSSsss...lll...oooo...wwww learner! I had expected at least 10 full replays and 20 "rewinds"
of Renegade segments to even begin to understand it. NOT SO!!!
Oz did great at presenting
the method and, thanks to Oz, I CAN DO IT!!
His beautiful assistant is a bit distracting
but...in a good way :)
Yesterday I watched the "Color Change Truimph" and...I am
understanding this one too!!! YAY TEAM!!!
Oz is a fun-to-watch teacher, easy to follow and
learn from, and has, with this DVD, provided a resource that can place a true Classic of magic
within the skill-set of even a beginner.
VERY very very well done!

Oz did it again; once again he shows his teaching skills and his ultimate way of really reaching out
and helping magicians to learn.
Plus, this is a GREAT resource of Triumph material; many of
these things aren't original to Oz but to have a catalog of all the good Triumph routines out there
is invaluable.
Well explained, practical HD goodness. You won't regret this.

This was the first magic trick I ever learnt, so I thought I would do it the honor of buying the DVD
and seeing if there is anything I can do to spice it up. It definitely filled that description.
I love the TRIUMPH effect. It's Impromptu, It's simple and It gets people every time. Clean and
can be done at all angles, it's the perfect trick for beginners. I always start any show with
TRIUMPH.
Even though I knew how to do the trick, the DVD was very useful. It added a wide
range of different moves I could add just to make the effect seem more grand. There is also a
variety of ways to show the same effect, so if you ever need to do the trick again, you don't have
to do it the exact same way.
If you are new to card magic, I HIGHLY recommend having this
in your collection. If you are not new, and a bit of an expert, this is still an amazing effect that
you can't pass up.
Very happy with this DVD, all the various types of triumph effects something for everyone!!
