Havn't got it but I've heard nothing but good news about it. Some have said they have never seen a better culler than Kostyas.

My favorite had been Oz's Emerge Triumphant...
But I just saw a performance of Kimlat's Triumph... And damn! It looks freaking awesome.

Well I don't know about you guys but the first time I saw Chris Kenner's 'Simple Triumph' from the 1-on-1 section, it floored me. I watched it a few more times and came up with a method of my own but I'll be buying it soon 'cause I think it's a really Simple Triumph (Funnily enough) Simple to perform and leaves LOADS of room for presentation.

I'm going to be purchasing Kostya Kimlat's DVD very soon. My friend has gone to several of his lectures and says that he is really an amazing magician and his cull is like the best cull in the world.
Kenner's Triumph on the 1on1 section looks pretty nice indeed. A very classical version.
I do like Ben Earl's version but I have one problem. I hate the riffling through the cards part and the "shuffle and a cut" sequence. It's too... out of place for me and way I like to perform card magic.
Jay Sankey teaches a pretty nice version of Triumph on his impromptu dvd where two cards are selected.
Oh I almost forgot, Paul Harris' Gambler vs. Mentalist vs. Magician is a great triumph style effect. His "Unshuffling Rebecca" is also pretty cool, just not completely foolproof in my opinion. I could be wrong.
But when it comes to everyday performance for friends when im at a table, a simple Zarrow Shuffle seems just right.

One quick fix. Brian Tudor's is actually Terry Lagerould's, Who is one hell of a magician. No big deal.
If am at a table, the original is my favorite. If I'm standing up, then Bill Goodwin's/Larry Jennings gets my vote.
Advantage of the original is that you can show the cards being interlaced, which is awesome. In the Goodwin/Jennings version, the display is soo convincing, here is what the spectator sees: you interlace the cards ( faro ), riffle one part with the thumb showing it face up, riffle the other part and its face down, then push the cards flush. Hard to beat such display.
If for magicians, Tokyo's Truimph, so confusing for magicians they have no clue.

"Last Man Standing" in John Bannon's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" gets my nod because it is an "in the hands" stunner and its easy to do.

I haven't seen all the Triumph effects, but of the one's I've seen-
Danny Garcia's Nacho Mamma's Triumph gets my vote. Pretty sweet ending.

Definitely Nacho Momma's Triumph in my opinion. It's simple, hard-hitting and fairly easy to perform. Plus, has the DECK color change at the end.

Man ..
You guys just make me regret more and more for not buying that book ..
And its not out of print ..
*sigh* ...
Nacho Mamma's Triumph is so far my favorite to perform on the streets.
Chris Kenner's Simple Triumph on the 1on1 section is a close-second, as it is so simple and visual.
