Iam not a street busker and iam not here to write about myself.
This is a great Product and
Kostya Kimlat is a great teacher.
The technique you will learn here is versatile.
Much more
versatile than i had expected it to be.
You can control, you can force and of course it helps
you to do one of the most impossible triumph effects you will ever do.
Its not the move itself
but when you let drop the shuffled cards onto a table, face up and face down... you start to smile
already.
This is just one of the effects you learn.
Surely you really need to be willing to
invest some time (feels like a lot of time for me). Iam sure that when you have mastered the cull
you will also be good (better) at the classic force.
Speed, timing and ryhthm so essential.. it
is burned into my mind already but there is so much work to do. Have fun with it and practice
whenever you have some cards around.
If you like what you see and are willing to invest some
time you have a powerful tool on your hand.

Kostya explains the cull very well from different angles and using transparent cards. It will
definitely take me some time to be proficient at it though - especially the full separation of
cards. Worth the money if you really want to improve your culling.

If you are into card magic this is a must!
Nobody explained the culling technique better than
kostya.
And his version of Triumpf is by far the fairest out there.
Even if mastering this
move will take some time, you will get better in doing miracles with cards!

This is more than an effect. With this DVD you learn a fundamental sleight in a way that changes the
way you approach magic. You lose fear of tricks going wrong, knowing that no matter what your
routine will come to an amazing, astonishing conclusion. I close all of my strolling sets with this
handling of Triumph. If you think that the DVD is overpriced, than I think that's awesome. The less
people performing this the better. This DVD has the most in depth teaching for a sleight that I've
come across, and thoroughly explains the learning process. If you could genuinely perform the
strongest plot in card magic, this is what it would look like.

This trick is amazing and will fool even the most skeptical audience member, but it will require a
lot of practice before it is good. This is not for the faint of heart!

The contents of this download immediately refined everything I thought I new about performing a
proper spread cull. What an excellent resource! Well worth the purchase for beginners or the
advanced... or anyone who thinks they know how to perform a spread cull or any of its variations.
This material will change your perspective and have you culling cards like a pro.
This is a very good video, particularly the views where he uses transparent cards, however it lacks
certain specific details that I would be asking if I were in the room as a live student. Kostya says
that timing and speed are critical, but never really elaborates on this. The timing details are
lacking. It really boils down to closely watching as he demonstrates the cull with transparent
cards, but even this is difficult because of the speed at which he performs it.
I'll stick
with 4 stars because he is truly a master and you can learn much from the video by rewinding and
rewatching sections repeatedly. But in all honesty it took me watching other videos in addition to
this to pick up on a couple of subtleties around timing before I could actually perform the cull in
its most rudimentary form.
I was struggeling with the cull for some month, so I decided to get some professional tips, and here
they are. Even the first 15 minutes are worth buying this download. Everything is understandable and
there are dozens of useful tipps. Highly recommended!
What I doesn't like at all (and
therefor i only give 4 stars) is, that in my opinion the section with tricks is far too long. The
download isn't cheap, so I would prefer having more of the fine details and theory on this volume
(for example things that are teached in volume 2) instead of so many performances.
very clear and well explained video
the author could have quoted Christian Chelman's
"blitz" for the cull of several cards.
The trouble with many instructors is that they've been doing the move so long, they've forgotten all
the subtle nuances they had to absorb when actually learning a move, so that now, it's so ingrained
in them it has become generalized.
There are rhythmic elements in spreading and compressing the
cards that are passed over as well as how wide the spread should be when taking the card so it
clears the left hand packet that is not mentioned.
I'm sure once I work out all the elements the
rest of the DVD will be more helpful.
