When I first watched the DVD's, I was a little dissappointed. They were shorter than I expected and
was just like, "Thats it?" I already had a good understanding of the basic moves of both
three-card-monte and the shell game and felt like these were a waste of my money.
After
watching the DVD's again, and learning a couple of new moves, I realized what little you do learn on
these movies translates to a lot in real performance scenarios. Not only do you learn the moves,
but you also learn the psychology behind the moves and why it works. Plus, you won't use all moves
taught in a single performance. You can use them all, but theres no need to.
There are two
reasons I took a star off. 1) Sal uses cards from a deck of Bee playing cards on the
three-card-monte DVD. If you order this, add a deck of Bee cards to your cart and use the Bicycle
deck provided for other tricks. The Bee deck will help you hide your moves. 2) Although there are
clips of Sal performing both routines in front of an audience, a full routine from beginning to end
would have helped more with knowing how to flow from move to move.
Thats It?
