Doc's L&L set only contained the bare elements of this trick. This new 2 dvd is a full blown graduate course on one of the greatest audience pleasers of all time.

It's not just card under glass, but includes A+ material form the world of card magic: 2 card transpo, Triumph and 3 Card Monte.

All the effects are modular and can be performed independent of each other or have them flow into a full blown act.

Plus, Doc's tips on audience management can be applied to all your other magical effects you perform.

Anyone wishing to produce a magic DVD from this point on should first consult the team who made this one. The director's commentary is the best feature I've ever seen for learning presentation on any magic DVD EVER! The outtakes were not only hilarious but also were teaching aids. Doc Eason's ego or lack of it allows you to learn from his mistakes. His videos always exceed my expectations when it comes to detail, theory, history and method but this DVD managed to shock me into improving my top change and removed my apprehension of the classic force. Get this and see what I mean. You'll be impressed.

This is my favorite magic DVD EVER!! Doc is one of my favorite performers of all time. Back in the 90's, Doc had a series of DVDs that contained this rountine. But that was 20 years ago, it has evolved over those years and Doc goes into much more detail. I think the best part of the DVD was there was a performance commentary sectoin where Doc talkes over the performace video and talks about what he doing real time which is very cool. Ive been performing card under box (variation) for about a year now and it gets a great reaction every time. If I could I would give this more than 5 stars.

If you ask top card magicians what are the card tricks that crowds go crazy for and the answers you get will include the tricks that are on Doc's new DVD:

1) 3 Card Monte ( no gimmicks, but the real work on the classic ).
2) The Ambitious Card
3) Triumph
4) 2 Card Traspo

These routines are performed live, by Doc Eason, in an actual bar for optimal learning. Doc has performed magic professionally since 1977 ( 7-7-77;-) so these tricks have been performed for REAL audiences over 30,000 times!

He not only teaches what they call "the real work" ( the sleights, technique, the psychology and the nuances to make them A+ material ) but he goes so much further with a directors cut where he does a voice over audio commentary on the entire show. You actually get inside Doc's head on what he doing and why.

What does this all mean? It means you learn from a performer that has a PHd performing magic and knows how to perform for real, paying audiences. They are tricks that you can add to your repertoire and entertain people anywhere, anytime with a deck of cards. You don't have to have a job as a bartender to reap the value in this set. What you learn can be applied to any venue, by anyone from hobbyist to paid professional!

You can spend your money on a new DVD released by someone that has never performed professionally and only creates to sell to magicians, or you can INVEST your money in this 2 DVD set and learn some of the very best card magic ever created, by one of the very best entertainers and teachers in magic: Doc Eason!

In my opinion it was not good at all! Not worth its money! The advertising around this dvd gives the impression that it is an absolut must have but it isn't.
