I give this 2 stars because of the teaching and because for beginners in card magic there might be some interesting things in the video. But for the gimmick and the advertisement, I am heavily disappointed for a number of reasons:

1. The gimmick is nothing new at all. In fact, and this has been stated by another reviewer, it is very old and just cutting sth off (reason unknown) doesn'take it new or fool people more

2. All tricks shown here could just as well be performed without a gimmick, or with the original gimmick (which can be left in the deck without a risk of being discovered). In fact, this is just a comfort gimmick and doesn't change the effect or it's visuality by any means.

3. The gimmick obliges one to palm sth away at some point. So this "new gimmick" adds problems to the original gimmick. That's right: it doesn't solve problems, it adds problems!

4. The teaching is good (except for the palming which I find terrible) but just doesn't take into account decades of developments in card magic. It felt a bit like meeting someone who proudly shows you a wooden hexagon and claims (with a big smile) that he invented the wheel....
