Um... so you know that no one has it, yet you ask our opinion on it...
At the risk of sounding like a broken record,
find out which one fits your style more. Also, tell us more about what you're skills are and what you like to perform.

Depends on your style. Trilogy is very comprehensive and covers tricksflourishesandeverythingelse. Tarantula is an impossible ring float. We can't really tell you what to buy. If you are more into the Bucks style and flourishing, go with Trilogy. If you spend most of your time on the streets, I think Tarantula would make more sense. If I had to choose one, I would choose the Trilogy in a heartbeat, but that's just me.
The tarantula looks cool, but I'm not really big on animations or levitating things so it's not for me. The trilogy is awesome. There is so much material. To be honest this is not a decision anybody can make for you. Do you like flourishing, and slights with cards OR do you like animations? If you can decide which one you want to go out and perform you'll know what to do.
If you want powerful and versatile close up magic, get the Tarantula.
But if you want slieght of hand card tricks or flourishes, get the Trilogy.

If you're really into Card Sleights, you're better off trying to find something like Bertram on Sleight of Hand, or Card Finesse by Jon Racherbaumer - they'll provide you with much better and interesting sleights in my opinion than Trilogy. Or, study the best sleight of hand around, and get Erdnase and Expert Card Technique.
I'd only get Trilogy for the flourishes, because the tricks aren't my style. Trilogy tricks are generally quick, flashy and flourishy. So if that's your style of performing, do that. If you're generally most interested in sleights though, there are much better sleights around that will be much more interesting to study.

i knwo what u mean , i have to choose between andthensome or tarantula with TA but if i were u go with the trilogy because there are amazing effects on there you would love, also if u only like tricks, just buy tricks and everythingelse or just tricks, cuz u save on money and then u can use the money u have to spend on tarantula, best of both worlds lol
Please don't kill me!
But... I'm almost regretting getting the Trilogy, I hardly use anything from there, none of the tricks, one or 2 flourishes, and the finger exercises and double lift from everythingelse.
If you enjoy D&D's style, by all means go for the Trilogy, but I believe I'll get a whole lot more out of the Tarantula, it's more my style.

actually I agree with you. D&D do magic for magicians. While you do get useful sleights, you'd probably be better off with a book.
they do indeed but there tricks are really suiteble for laymen. it's like they get kicked (i mean really kicked) in the face. the tricks are perfect
I disagree, but what I'm more interested in, is if you've met someone who's responded positively to being kicked in the face.
indeed, it's an argument i will use next time i'm involved into a conversation about this subject.
back on topic, I also regret getting the trilogy because i only use De Ja Vu and my own version of Tivo (seems a little cleaner and enables to repeat the effect immediately). I would go with Tarantula but as others said if you are intersted in card sleights you are better off with a book
