Disappointing Report this review

I love packet tricks and several are my go-to staples, including Bannon's Twisted Sisters, so I had high hopes for this. But frankly, I'm disappointed. The tutorial is one of the poorest I've ever seen. They run through the setup confusingly (having to reverse the cards) and far too quickly. I knew where it was going, so I only had to watch it a couple of times, but I can't imagine even an advanced beginner being able to get it. And Bannon's "tutoring" leaves a lot to be desired. Good thing Tait was there to stop him and actually explain things he glossed over.

And given that the only unusual card could easily be made at home, there should also be a far cheaper version that has no cards and only the video as a download. It's nice that it only requires the Elmsley Count, albeit with more cards than typical, but it can be learned easily.

Although it has good visual changes, I greatly prefer many other packet tricks I have and may or may not even perform this.
