If you do out of this world, this Chapter is absolutely worth the $10 to get this download to see how Dani handles the ending so that all of the cards are red on one side and all of the cards are black on the other. This provides a much more satisfying ending compared to other OOTWs that are out there where the left pile has a set of reds then blacks and the right pile has a set of reds and blacks.

It is unfortunate some reviewers don't like the theory that Dani also teaches. The nice thing with the way he has structured these trainings is that if you want to skip the theory and just learn the handling, you can watch just the beginning section. That said, the biggest value is actually in the theory but some people need more time in their magical journey to understand that. I know that I did not appreciate this approach many years ago and now I do.

The reason I appreciate it is that Dani has taught concepts in other lectures, about separating reds and blacks. And using those concepts, I have been able to put together a combination of effects, where I can do a version of Triumph, where the cards are mixed face up and face down, and then all the cards turn face down except the selection process, and during that effect, also separate the reds and the blacks in preparation for this trick.

I would not have realized this so soon if Dani had not also taught the concepts standalone. The fact that he does that makes it easier to mix and match techniques later to make existing tricks your own (as I am doing) or even create your own tricks.

My last point is that if you don't like the theory/concept + trick training approach, then I suggest you not buy any more Dani DaOrtiz material. That is how he always teaches it and frankly it is a better value because we get much more out of it than just a single trick.
