i have it. into the abyss is a pretty good dvd. i think its a little overpriced but thats just my opinion. the tricks are very good. its almost mentalism at its best. the only thing is that you need to learn another technique. BUT I CANT SAY WHAT ITS IS. he does teach it but its not a good version. i love the tricks though.
The technique not taught that is needed for Into The Abyss is a standard in mentalism and if you don't have even the slightest solid experience in Mentalism, You shouldn't even consider buyingn this.
HOWEVER,
The vacation effects and "whats in a name" can both be applied to playing cards
