C/M: This, with True Link, is for me is worth the entire price of the DVD. The routine Casshan provides it is great. The way it is constructed makes the handling extremely easy. The gimmick literally took me 10 minutes to make, and should last a long time. Some of the alternative changes Cash provides are more angle sensitive, but the main change is great. 10/10

Spectictacular: This one is also great. It is a very organic penetration of a borrowed ring through a tic tac box. Again, great method, which is camouflaged very well with the routine. The box is obviously not examinable, but Casshan teaches a way to switch it which works really well. 9/10

Change For Good: I really like this one, but I can't really perform it with my currency (Euros). The build isn't particularly difficult and the visual is insane. I have to get myself some quarters and a dollar... 8/10

Fresher Transformation: Not much to say about his one. It's crazy visual and makes for a great ice breaker to introduce yourself as a magician. I don't see myself performing it though, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. This build is relatively easy. It is about as difficult to build as C/M. 7/10

Boxin' it up: This is probably the only trick I didn't really like in the DVD. Once again, the visual is amazing, and I can see myself performing this for a camera. The method is really the stand out for me. It is extremely smart and has got me thinking of some other tricks to do with it. 7/10

True Link: If I had bought this trick separately for the same price, I would have been extremely pleased. The method is amazing, extremely simple, but nothing short from amazing. The routine Casshan provides really gets the spectator involved, which is when magic is most powerful. If I could give this a 20 out of 10 I would. 10/10

Bonus! Nest of Tech: When you see a bonus effect, you almost expect something quite bad. This is not the case. This is a modern version of Nest of Wallets or Boxes. Your spectator's signed ring ends up inside your phone, where the batter should be. Once again, simple method and execution, but does the job. I'll use this. I just have to find a phone that would work for it. 9/10

Teaching: Casshan's teaching is very casual and laid back, which is something I really like. He is very passionate with his effects, and you can tell the evolution from simple ideas to fully developed routines. The construction section is shot with an over-the-shoulder view, which makes it extremely easy for those who are watching. 10/10

Production Quality: It is Murphy's Magic, so I was expecting amazing quality. As always, it was great. No audio issues, no lighting issues. Perfect conditions. 10/10

Pros: That Casshan provides you with a routine, not only a visual moment.

Cons: The lack of live performances which we saw on the trailer.

Final Thoughts: I highly recommend this project if you like magic which is organic (which is a word I personally hate).

Final Rating: A solid 9.5/10
