(This review is for James Went's Meditations)

There are many merits to this 2-DVD set. The toolbox section ("Techniques") alone is fantastic. I loved the teaching (and James' thoughts) on four of a kind productions, peeks, the pass, and "Thoughts on Controls I and II."

The first effect from the set that I will be working on is "Poker Con." This can be performed in a strolling set or in a formal close-up show. Another interesting thing about this effect is that it can be performed with advanced moves or not-so-advanced moves (the version he teaches could probably be performed by beginners, but the version he demonstrates uses more advanced moves). In fact, even though James is an advanced card handler, most of the effects can be performed by intermediate card handlers. "Roy's Sandwich" and the various triumph routines deserve further study also.

As an added bonus, I loved the interviews at the end (how James auditioned and then got cast for his TV show, winning a BAFTA, etc.).

Highly recommended!!
