The dvd looks awesome I gotta admit.. The idea about dicestacking with cards is sick.. I thought I knew who were gonna be at XB2, since I read it from one of De' sites and he said it himself, one was S...n that I didnt see on the vid and the other one I didnt see it either, so?

And d+M? I hope he says something :p

P.S As I said I gotta admit the penspinning looks so great..

I think I'm going to pick it up just for the card throwing. I love card throwing but have never been able to find a good source for techniques (I'd love to have a copy of Ricky Jay's book but the asking prices for the out-of-print used copies are just crazy). I taught myself when I was a kid, and I have pretty good distance and accuracy now, but I know it could be better.

De'vo is extremely talented and I highly respect his accomplishments, but honestly, I really didn't like XB1.

My first experience with it was popping it in the DVD player and falling asleep on the couch while I tried to watch what amounted to a neverending power point presentation on how I should clip my nails and comb my hair before performing a manipulation act. The next day I put it in again, fast-forwarded through the boring intro, only to get to the teaching to find out it's all shots of hands dubbed with bad techno music and a few subtitles. It was just painful to watch.

I think De-vo is incredible at what he does, and I think he gives you a lot of good information for your money, but the teaching style, I find, is just incredibly boring, cheezy, and just... bad.

It doesn't look like something for me.
I'm not really into the dice stacking with cards because I just like going out and performing. Not, hey look what I can do. Seems kinda pointless.
As for the pen twirling, - my sister did twirling with a baton - not really impressed.
I've seen lethal, so that basically covers Daniel Madison's part in XB2.
I did see some things that were cool in there though.
But for the most part, I'm holding onto my money for this 1.

You little stalker!
*Drops jaws to floor in cartoon-like fashion*

Holy crap i am getting this the day it comes out!!!! The dice stacking is not really my style but that last dice routine was cool. Penspinning i will definetly look into (show off at school YA!!!!!). Card throwing is just the star of this dvd. Cant wait to see what else ciappi has in store (hope he teaches the one hand double fan). Daniel madison stuff looks awesome too (even though i've already seen it). And also, cant wait to see what kool new flourishes jerry and de'vo has in store. And that girl......O.O.....lol

Rick also teaches the classic boomerang card and let’s you in on 2 of his live performances to see how he incorporates card throwing into his own act. Chop vegetables and learn to throw with deadly accuracy using Rick’s special throwing techniques.

Basic Dice Stacking – You will learn everything about cups, dice, surfaces and of course basic stacking in extreme detail. The teaching in this section is very visual, with 3D models, and repeated, slow motion instruction.

De’vo underground XCM/Dice hybrid work - De’vo will teach you his incredible moves, ideas, and combos. Yes, De’vo stacks dice with cards! Impossible? He doesn’t think so.

Charlier Challenge – Many people know the classic Charlier Cut (basic one handed cut), from magicians, manipulators and just people off the street. De’vo created this challenge to use on those that know this classic move. Can you complete the challenge on your first try? If not, De’vo will teach you the ins and outs of this challenge so that you can use it in your own act.

Fun, Bloopers, and more! - witness hilarious bloopers, spend time with the Superhandz crew with a manipulating chef and much more.

This DVD set is hosted by Angela Funovits from the NBC show entitled “Phenomenon” with Criss Angel and Uri Geller. Angela will guide you through every aspect of this large DVD set.

We could have packaged any one of the manipulation sections as it’s own DVD, however decided to put them altogether in one single very large 2 DVD set offering you the best of all worlds.

Now mark your calendar and don’t miss your chance to get this awesome 2 DVD set! Available September 2, 2008 at WWW.XTREMEHANDZ.COM and WWW.HANDLORDZ.DE !
