I think someone asked for a review so i'll give one, I was going to post the first one I had but then clicked back which wasted about 15 mintues and I had to restart.
The movie:
The movie was very comical along with a very interesting story revolving around cards. There was only 2 problesm I had with this movie. One, that most of it was filmed without a tripod leading to a bit of a shaky camera and two, that there were a lot of walking sequences which lost my attention. I give the movie a solid 8/10 and it's a great addition to this DVD
The tutorials:
M & M - 2/10 A very easy and flashy move to do using a small packet
V. 72 - 3/10 A simple madonna variation that looks spectacular
Enzo prod - 3/10 An easy production producing four queens, this also teaches the enzo cut
San Vincenzo - 3/10 A cut using the enzo cut which looks great
Coma - 4/10 A trick shwoing four blank card but then revealed to be the four aces, words can't express the greatness of this trick
DAM - 3/10 A simple effect yet it looks amazing, a 3 is introduced and then split into a 2 and an ace. It looks better than it sounds
Coma prod - 3/10 A production using the coma snap along with 2 varaitions
Agora 2.0 - 7/10 one of the more difficult cut's but it one of the most beautiful too
Tornado prod - 4/10 A simeple cut leads to an awesome production
OHD - 6/10 A one handed diamond that is pure eye candy
Reverse L cut - 5/10 An L cut, but backwards?! Something that must be learned on this DVD
Goldenfish 2.0 - 6/10 A difficult but done at speed is a blur of packets spinning
FK - 3/10 A simple card spin that could be used as a reveal, production, or even an application
Street Made tutorials:
M & M - Shown above
Goldenfish - 5/10 a false cut that's simlar to goldenfish 2.0
Agora 1.0 - 7/10 One of the hardest cut's on the DVD but is definatly worth learning.
Spider Class - 5/10 If you took the flare's from mantis and put them into a madonna, you get spider class.
Enzo - Shown above
Snowhite - 5/10 The most unqiue sybil on the DVD. Pandora just got owned.
Coma - Shown above
The flourishes are great and they give you a demonstration with each tutorial, or a performance if you will. The music is different in each tutorial with some of their own favourite songs like a billie jean instrumental. I give this section a 10/10
The menu's:
The opening menu has two black stripes lining the bottom and top and one red stripe down the middle. there's a Ferrari insignia in the middle and other than that there are four choices:
Play the movie
Chapters
Studio - the tutorials
Extra - extra footage
There's an ace by each feature you can pick and the music is a 15 second loop of a soft paino which leads into a killer guitar solo.
Extra - Menu
There's a guy ( not sure who ) has an open jacket with an ace in a cpoket and there are four aces, one of each pocket. They lead to:
Outtakes - bloopers
Tutorials - street made
Videos - Echec et Mat, F 501, F 502, and Echec.....
Credits - credits
The music is very easy listening and enjoyable.
I give this DVD a true 9/10. If you're a flourisher it would be essential to buy this DVD.
Hope this review help
