It's priced right. There are a few really great effects here.

The pros: It's cheap. I've never seen most of these effects. There's one or two that anyone can perform immediately, no serious practice.

The cons: I don't have the mental capacity to memorize the handling of many of these tricks. Elmsley, flip, double, elmsley, don't flip, double, repeat 5 times..... One false move and you messed up a trick. Also, you're SO dirty after most of these tricks. I was expecting this, but I allow my spectators to handle my cards most of the time "Here, shuffle them..." These types of effects are out of character for my routines. I also always feel that using blank cards clues a spectator in to the fact that you own gaffed things. It's hard to tell someone that you use all regular cards, but then you bust out something that looks irregular and don't let them inspect or handle the cards.

I don't find the deliver nearly as comical or charming as the other reviewers, but please refer to them as to what types of cards you'll need to purchase in order to take advantage of these tricks. You will not feel ripped off with this set, just don't expect to use it all. There's moments I had difficulty with the accent.
