First off – I LOVE the possibilities that go with learning this move. I had a routine worked up as
soon as I saw the trailer/ad – whatever it’s called.
The teaching is pretty good. Some is
hard to see/grasp. I’m guessing that’s because it happens in the hands, with a pretty firm grip, so
is hard to shoot. He steps you through most phases pretty well. It would’ve been nice if he
would’ve explained, “I’m going to run through it all at full speed and then come back step by step.”
It seemed like he just started running through the explanation – and it was WAY too fast for me to
keep up. But he did come back and run through it much slower – so was understandable.
That
said – understanding and doing are 2 very different things. While I understand most of the moves, I
cannot repeat/recreate all of the moves needed to pull this off. I’m not a card genius, but I’m not
bad and I found this to be very difficult. It’s not something you’re going to download today and
put in your show tonite. If you are patient, I can see this working for you, but be prepared for
some early frustration. I am going to put it on the shelf and try it again in a few months.
One thing that is lacking, he explains how to set up the move, but doesn’t explain his rationale
for doing so. While I don’t want to be a copy-cat, it would be nice to know his technique, since
the first step of the set-up is a little unnatural (at least for me, it would be). Does he do the
set up at the table in front of his audience? If so, what is the reasoning for the set up? A
pointer/suggestion on this one would’ve been nice.
So – to sum up – it’s good with great
potential, but I can’t do it . . . yet.
Good but tough (for me)
