you are looking for classic stuff that you don't know how to do yet. The dvd is VERY basic but the
effects ARE TESTED AND THEY WORK. Good stuff.
Simon is great, I just don't like the style of
editing, but that doen't ruin the learning process.

This DVD is fantastic.I think all of the effects are fool proof.Every single one of them i use
because it isn't bogged down with a load of crap.Just very strong tricks that you also don't need to
waste cards every time you preform.The only reason it looses a star with me is although Simon is
very funny,he is very quick with his explanations.He also never shares any of the thinking behind a
trick just the explanation and then that's it.As i say outstanding DVD with a great preformer but
the explanations could be much better!!

this dvd is amazing. although i bought this a while ago, this dvd became one of my foundations to
card magic. this is really unique card magic. there is one card trick on this dvd that i have gottin
great reactions from and is in my top 10 card tricks. the reason i gave it four stars, is because i
personaly wouldnt use some of his card tricks just because there not my style, but thats just me. i
promise that you will perform a couple of these. ADD TO CART NOW!!!

If you are into cards and you want some excellent routines for your repitoire then you need to buy
this DVD and Simon's other DVD (Madness behind the methods:
http://www.penguinmagic.com/europe/product.php?ID=857).
I cannot recommend more highly the
content of these two DVD sets in terms of the value for money in terms of the quality of the effects
and the amount of material you get.
Simon does an excellent job passing on the working for
the routines and tips and handling. His material is good worker stuff with very little fluff it
allows great scope to add your own flair if you so desire but it is all very accessible from the get
go for a competent card worker.
For the beginner who wants to get right into this stuff I
would also recommend getting Oz Pealmans "Born to Perform Card Magic"
(http://www.penguinmagic.com/europe/product.php?ID=618) which is has some fantastic tutorials for
learning some of the rudiments of card magic. With these three DVD's and a few of the classic card
books you will be able to put together some great card magic routines! Go Penguin! and Go Simon
Lovell!

This is an excellent buy as all of the material is very good. Full of useful tips and tricks, I have
learned quite a lot of the tricks on the DVD and incorporated them into my act. The tricks and
sleights taught here will definitely take you from beginner card tricks to professional level magic.
My personal favorites from this DVD are Red Hot Mama, Switch Craft, What Aces?, Perplexing,
and Ambitious Card. All are very good, though. Many very important and useful card sleights
essential for good card magic are featured.
Simon is entertaining and likeable and the
general quality of the DVD is very good. The only thing stopping me from giving it a full 5 stars is
that the pace of the video is sometimes too fast. This is the nature of learning from a video,
however, and fortunately with a DVD you can pause and replay anything easily. Over all, I'm very
happy with this purchase and thanks to it, I have added several excellent tricks to my card
routines.

this dvd is great, it has a lot of useful things to do, he teaches really good too, a bit funny and
wacky too, but i have a lot of the things he teaches in my routines. i was real happy with this buy,
like all great magic you have to practice to make it look beautiful.
DVD is really good, I bought it of the cool box. I found a lot of useful things on here, that guy
is silly but he's good, he does a great job in teaching and instructions. Over all I'm happy with
the purchase, I also learned new things...good job Simon Lovell..
