All the flourishes in this DVD are beautiful! I have never been that good at cardistry but I am really trying to get good. Although most of the flourishes are more advanced it still gives me or any beginner purchasing this DVD something to practice.

Ekaterina is great. Hands down with all the beautiful card flourishes. Keep it going.

Truly beautiful cardistry. Ekaterina's style is elegant, powerful, and so unique. She is really one of the most awesome cardists out there!

The flourishes here are unique, and most of them are posing cardistries. If you are looking for flourishes that are very speedy and include many cuts like Sybil, this wouldn't be something you would like. Otherwise, this is new generation of cardistry.

Awesome DVD! Pretty good stuff! A little harder than expected, and definitely takes practice.

Ekaterina is the best!

Ekaterina is one of those really amazing female magicians and cardists. I've been watching all her videos on Youtube, and this is a great release of hers. :)

Ekaterina is perfect in every way. Great looks. She has the perfect teaching style for her amazing flourishes. However, it's not very practical for a magician to put into a routine. But great for displaying proficiency with playing cards!

Ekaterina has a very elegant style and I've been watching her stuff on youtube for a while. When I saw that this was available I bought it instantly! You won't be disappointed

Great DVD - well shot and well taught. More advanced than I was prepared for, so I'll be practicing this a lot!

PURE is an excellent DVD!! The instruction is clear and the flourishes are visually interesting and effective. This is in my opinion, a must have DVD within your library.
I wish this would've been a 2 hour video...just a bit longer. Some of the flourishes on this DVD are a bit more advanced than a beginner may be comfortable with. so a little knowledge of very basic cardistry flourishes would be helpful. That said, I think this is a great DVD to grow with.
I am VERY happy I made the choice to purchase PURE. Ekaterina has a grace that makes cardistry look so easy.

I just love her innovation on technical skills, and how she is really pushing the envelope on what you can do with a deck of cards! She is my new hero! Also this really breaks away to all other female cardists out there. Ekaterina, you really are bringing beauty into cardistry! Keep on inspiring me!

Everything Ekaterina teaches is real great. I am completely new to cardistry, so sometimes she moves real fast over some moves that are I guess known to people who are familiar with some basics of cardistry. Also what is a bit hard, is that it is never been shot from the point of view of the performer as in Solo.
What would be real great is the slow mo as seen in Solo. But overall great job and definitely recommend this if you wanna learn some cool moves. I even got my girlfriend into it after she had seen this.
Alex Sanchez • San Antonio • 01/12/12
This is a good Dvd and all but I didnt like some of the moves. It was a different kind of Cardistry from what I was looking for. Waiting on Solo to come out; it looks like something I like. Don't get me wrong, great DVD as always. Theory11 does not sell crap, but practice will make all 15 flourishes look great.

Allow me to begin by relaying my respect and admiration for Ekaterina, having been a friend of hers for many years. I still marvel at her ability to successfully drive towards her ambitions and wants in life. Many years ago, I spotted and befriended a talented young lady, who I believed had hidden talents. I am extremely proud to have been somewhat of a mentor to her in the early days, and would have never imagined she would come this far.
Having watched the DVD, I am extremely impressed with the visual quality and structure of the set. Her natural ability for audiovisual synergy was clearly elemental in the development of the DVD set. All trivial and common problems when learning are scrutinized and technically resolved throughout the DVD. (Which makes the DVD accessible to all skill levels).
No stones are left unturned in the explanations, and the impact of the material is clearly evident in the trailer. Treat yourself to an original visual delight.

I'm a big fan of Ekaterina, so I hit the download button immediately when I saw Pure was out there. After watching it, I can say that I wasn't disappointed. Crystal clear quality, easy-to-follow explanations, and the moves hit hard. In my opinion this is not a beginner's DVD, but a collection of fifteen flourishes of pure elegance and smoothness.

This project is very powerful. I think you can be theory11's next artist. :D
Azizan • Malaysia • 12/24/11
Ekaterina told me about this project awhile ago when I was asking around for help on a project of my own, the names of our project collided and so she told me about PURE. Now I'm seeing it again and I can't wait to see what she has in this project! :D

I was able to hang out with Kat in Las Vegas for a bit and let me tell you... she is no joke! She adds an elegant flavor to the cardistry mix! I am SURE you will not be let down with this project. I mean, come on... it IS theory11! So buy it! Buy it for me too!
