Watching the ad videos, I thoroughly enjoyed this trick and decided to buy it. The instructional
video did not disappoint. This is not a trick you will be able to perform immediately; it will
require a lot of practice to get down smoothly. Given my current sleight of hand skills (a bit above
beginner but not yet to intermediate), this trick is aspirational for me, but it seems like a
challenge worth trying to rise to. In my opinion, the sleights needed are intermediate to advanced.
Kyle's instruction is good and the camera angles are decent. He makes a reasonable attempt to
explain and demonstrate each of the several moves needed to do the full trick. If you are a
beginner, or slightly past beginner (like me), there is not enough explanation and demonstration to
teach you every move from scratch, though there IS enough to get you started practicing on each, and
Kyle gives the name of each move and points you to further resources for most. There is a lot going
on, and I think the amount of explanation is matched well with the cost of the download.
How are the angles in real life?
I haven't performed it yet, still working on it. However, it seems like as long as your audience is generally in front of you, over say a 150 degree range, it will work fine. Directly to your side or slightly behind you to the side might see things they shouldn't, although there might be enough motion to cover it. Kyle's performance is smooth and fast. If you can do it that way, you might not have angle issues from any angle. However, if you were surrounded, some of the spectators will not be able to see the effects, in addition to not being able to see the sleights! Seems like the best angle for viewing and being fully impacted by the trick is directly in front or to the front left of the performer.

Great trick. Requires significant sleight of hand
