First of all I have said this before, is Doc Dixon, a Magician or Comedian, why oh why do some Magicians make the learning process so much more difficult.

By this I mean distraction and irrelevant so called comic remarks and jokes in the middle of the lesson,therefore detracting from the learning process.
Having read the only two reviews,made me buy this trick giving me the impression that it was extremely easy, maybe for everyone who has a deft handling of cards, and have more knowledge of the many, many card shifts, and illusions that are on the market.
Sorry Doc but you lost me less than half way through the lesson, playing to your studio audience, rather than to the learning process of your magnificent trick.
I got the impression that you even lost your way verbally because of your own distractions, sorry if that's not the case.

The trick itself is of course excellent, but for the novice, and elderly (like myself) the two comments do not give a near truthful reflection of the secret.
For the older magician and those less professional at card manipulation a few more weeks of learning I'm afraid is necessary.
In spite of that the trick itself is pure magic at its best, but for the less active a longer learning process, & that's the truth.

Sorry Penguin Magic (Hope to see this in print for the absolute beginner and novice)Happy New Year. Oh yes and worth the money of course, not a problem.
