I like the monte card tricks and when I watched the performance of Garrett's I was just baffled.
I bought a couple of weeks ago and here are my thoughts on it:
Packaging: It comes on a
cardboard casing, which does protect everything, so you don't have to worry about your gimmicks
getting bent on their way to you, but I would prefer a plastic DVD case, because I do think that the
way you store the DVD in this will eventually scratch and ruin it.
Gimmicks: They are the
quality you'd expect. I got mandolin backs, but you can use your own Bicycle or Tally-Ho cards if
you prefer.
DVD content quality: Great. Both over-the-shoulder and from the front teaching and
great image quality too. First you watch two full performances, then Garrett goes over every detail
of the routine, and as he explains each sequence and move, that part of the real-world performance
is shown.
Difficulty: Easy. If you can handle cards, you can do it.
Effect: I fool myself
doing it to the mirror. It is that good.
All in all: Just buy it already. These were the best I
have ever spent.
