Why so expensive....? Let's see....
He bought multiple resources to learn each slieight and learn other's thoughts and variations on the move.
He put in the hours learning them.
He went to different conventions and venues to seek out those who were the best at these sleights, got their respect and trust to where they'd show him the moves and nuances. by the way, old school teachers, if they didn't know you from Jack, you ask about a bottom deal, they'd just demonstrate, ask "did you see it?". If you didn't, they'd tell you to come back tomorrow. Says a lot about Jason in that they confided their secrets to him, not to mention how dedicated he was to card sleights that he'd even put the time and resources into learning them.
Ya know, you can always come to Vegas and ask him to give you a personal one on one... flights out to vegas from Florida are going for $400-$600 now... not including room and board, transportation and food, or his fee for a private lesson.
... and Jason traveled to multiple venues to get the information. Why would he devalue his investment by giving it out for $5?
Look at it another way: the 1-on-1's that are "cheap" aren't the mainstay of any of the T11 artists current acts. Would you give your best stuff for $5/download? Where some kid can get your download, at best, do your trick justice; at worst, perform it poorly; or even worse, expose it on YouTube. The current 1-on-1's probably reflect most of the artists good but simple stuff. If you want the great stuff, they're going to charge you much more.
moreover if you watch his one-on-ones, you can see that what's on the video is how he performs the sleights/tricks in his professional card shark demonstrations.
maybe we ask jason for a 1-on-1 that he'd value at $5, and see what he puts out in regards to complexity of the trick/sleight.
Me? I'm absolutely happy about every JE purchase I've made here.
If you want a $5 bottom deal download, I'm sure you can find one somewhere... I know I wouldn't. As complex of a move it is, just the fact the artist is giving it away for $5 will make me skeptical. 'Cause it will either be too good to be true, meaning "I got a crapload of info for cheap!" or... it 'll be a plain $5 download.
I'll let you buy it first, then read the review you post in the forums.
