The Good:

The price for the download is reasonable and it is a good method but with one caveat

The gimmick is quick and easy to make

The video is clear on the method for making the gimmick

He does explain the handling to some extent but...

The Less Good

The gimmick is well camouflaged on one side, if you put it where he suggests, but not so much on other side if someone is looking at the area. It is small but it is there.

He doesn't really show that side of the card close-up in the video without moving the card around. The movement does make it harder to pick up but since this is a close-up illusion, you do have be a bit careful in how you show the card.

At one point, he does says that you could hand them the card but that he advises against it. I will be clearer, in my opinion, you can not let the spectator handle the card until the effect is done without a fairly high risk of tipping the gaffe.

Some actual performance video showing his handling of the card after the selection, or suggestions for more cover would be useful.

This is probably not for the beginner unless you have some pretty good misdirection skill.
