There is one really good trick for beginners but the rest take a lot of practice and you need to be
experienced. If you're willing to put in the time this will make you a genius.

I really enjoyed watching this DVD.
I especially liked adding a little something to my
current coin through table routine, with Mr Eaton's DropN effect.
The Rule of Five is
indeed fast but not as effective or plays as big. It's actually a small card trick that's more
suitable for beginners in my opinion. It's not bad, only that needs a little more work on the plot
and the reason behind it (as it's end doesn't really correspond with it's beginning that well). If
we're using gimmicks we might just as easily transform an entire deck to a chosen card, using a
gimmicked deck, which plays a greater impact in my opinion. I don't see myself using this one.
Card Under Glass is a nice little addition to your card routine, since it can be easily combined
at every stage as I'm going to give it a go. I see no reason not to. I wouldn't be using it as a
stand-alone routine, and I would take Mr Eaton's advice, about getting back to it after the heat is
off.
Two-Card Monte Payoff is just a simple two card monte routine with a little addition.
I don't like this routine where all the heat is on the cards, which cannot be examined. Mr Eaton's
addition is supposed to take some of the heat off, but I would still much rather choose something
that's less obvious.
What I really liked about this DVD, aside the fact that I did pick up
a couple of moves here, is the way the video is edited. Everything is kept very simple, staright to
the point, and professional. I like it when I can complete watching a DVD without wasting too much
time on fillers and tedious conversations. Mr Eaton's approach values your time, and in my opinion
shows much respect. He offers his magic very professionally. I may have found some of it not to be
for me, but I enjoyed watching it all.

These are really, really nice effects - and you're definitely going to want some more from where
this came from. Great teaching, clean and strong magic! Don't underestimate the "simplicity" of
these effects... Remember, we are performing for non-magicians. Easy to setup, easy to use, gets
huge reactions. Simply a brilliant collection.

Michael is very intelligent and will teach you some very strong effects that will leave a lasting
impression on your audience. Most of the effects are quite easy to do but yet are very powerful.
Michael also discusses some important theory on how people perceive magic, how to approach
strangers, earn their trust and make them like you before youshow them any magic.
Highly
recommended!

Up until I got this I didn't know what the rule of 5 was but I had seen it and now thanks to Mike it
is in my walk around. I got the DVD specifically for Drop'N because I wanted to learn more coin
stuff and it is awesome. I had already been doing 2 card monte but I really like this version much
better. Glass card couldn't be simpler and it is great at bars. GET THIS DVD.

I met Mike Eaton a few years ago and I was floored by the knowledge, insight, and creativity that he
brings to the magic community. I remember seeing the material in person that is featured in his new
DVD "The Drop'n Project" and he's only improved it since then. Mike's new DVD has something for
everyone. Whether you are just a magic hobbyist or an amateur or pro, you'll find something that you
can use in your repertoire. Also Mike's insight is invaluable if you want to improve your approach
on magic or just get inspired! I personally added "Rule of Five" and "Two-Card Monte Payoff" in my
working routines and look forward to adding the two other effects soon. So do yourself a favor and
pick up Mike's new DVD "The Drop'n Project". You won't be disappointed! ^_^

This Micheal Eaton guy is just geniouse, the Coin Through Glass is.just awsome, the method is
incredible and best bit is that it isnt gimmicked in any way, pure slight of hand. The card tricks
are just awsome, the DVD is just awsome, stop reading this and buy this. This is my favourite DVD to
watch.

The four illusions featured on this DVD are powerfully simple and creative. It is obvious that
Michael has tested and refined these ideas through numerous performances. The "Drop'N"
(coin-through-glass-table) is a little beyond my abilities as an amateur, but the "Rule of 5" and
"Two Card Monte Payoff" are simple enough for me to focus on the actual presentation, and the
reactions of my audiences have been rewarding.

4 solid routines.
Coin through the table is great, but rule of 5 and two-card Monte are my
favs.
DVD is well done too.
