I've wrote a review about this download but I did not post it and now it's been almost a month.

What is it?:
The biggest issue I've seen on the reviews is the lack of transparency in the advertisement of what the product entails.
There are no real routines in this download but rather tools (valuable tools) to achieve an effect similar to ACAAN and Vernon's "The Trick that Cannot be Explained". I say similar because these tools allow for flexibility. Again, this product does not give routines. This is not really a negative point, per se (more later).
This download comes with Turner's eBook 1: Psychological Card Forces (30 dollar value).

The Tools:
"Pseudo riffle stacking": a way to "riffle stack"; to get a card from a certain position to another position. This is used as a fail safe. However, although people are stating this is impossible, that is not true. You just need to get the card to roughly the place you want it plus or minus two. Of course, it would be the ultimate goal to get it to the position or plus one but that is not totally necessary as you can use other techniques in the PDF.

"Psychological card forces": Peter's work on psych card forces. This is a complement to his PDF.

"Mechanical Card forces": Peter's take on more "traditional" ways of forcing. This is something that can work 100 percent with practice. The peek taught here is same as the one taught in Freeform Mentalism.

Advice here and there: again Peter's advice and take on mentalism is great and worth its weight in gold. Peter's work on story telling here is great along with his work on dual reality (touched upon in the download).

Performance: Peter performs a jazz routine using some of these techniques. Now, here is where I took off a star. This whole project feels rushed. What would've been super helpful is if Penguin laid Peter's commentary over his performances. In jazzing, a performer's thoughts are valuable as you can see his approach.

Overall, this project without the PDF disappointed many people. However, (with the PDF) this is bold and done correctly, creates miracles. Now with any psy force, it takes confidence, and boldness and practice and practice and practice. Eventually combined with this book and Banachek's PS 1 book on card positions, you can have a truly amazing routine. However, more time could've been spent on the project, mainly a commentary over some of the Peter's performances; especially the last performance.
But Peter is a genius and he can take old principles and turns it into miracles. If you are a beginning mentalist looking for a easy ACAAN this is not it. Look for other works done on ACAAN. If you want something that's 100 percent, this is not it. However if you want to create miracles, get this and make the best out of it. The download is more of a supplement to the PDF then stand alone; the value lies in the both the PDF and the download.
