Genesis Volume 1 (Andrei Jikh) opposed to The Trilogy (Dan and Dave Buck)
Ok, ive been looking into both of these cardistry dvds for the last few days and trying to compare both of them as best I can by reviews and content. However i thought it would be best to ask first as both are quite expensive and i wanted to clarify a few things and see what you guys think of them.
First off i have only been doing card magic and cardistry for the last 2 weeks, however i have progressed really well and im finding it easy to pick up different cuts and tricks with a good deal of practice. I have a lot of time on my hands so I dont mind something challenging, be it whichever of these you think i should purchase first.
Basically I would like to know the following:
As far as skill level goes, which is more suited for someone just starting out? More specifically which has better presentation, advice and tips?
For their price which has a better level of quality for your money? I.e. The amount you get and the level of quality in the tutorials.
The collection of tricks/flourishes. Which has a better and more substantial collection for a beginner.
Finally, i just want to say that the reason i want one of these is for a main focal point to start off on, as ive learnt quite a few basics from youtube (Charlier, Swing cuts, sybil, revolution etc.) I know that The Trilogy has a good collection of tricks on too and im swaying towards getting it, but £50 (for me in England) is a lot of money, especially because im starting out, and i didnt want to spend it unecessarily if you guys think that its better to just buy Genesis and save my money.
Cheers for any help you can give me,
Steve
