I got mine to day, yey! I have checked out all 3 disks. If you did not order this yet, order it now. Right now, there is no time to waste. Bottom line, its amazing.
i bought it, it has alot of material so i consider it a good buy. i wouldnt consider it if you are new. how to do a false faro shuffle? good luck if you dont know how do faro. much of the material is just bens own handling of tricks, and is assumed you know how to do certain sleights, ie palm a card, cull a selection, etc. If you dont it might be a little hard to learn, but im sure you can figure it out if you rewatch the dvd several times.
Also some of the mentalism seemed limp. "go with your gut feeling, you will be surprised how often u get it right" but then he did teach you how the trick is performed without having to rely on your gut.
thats about as hostile as i can be about the dvds. If you are looking for good techniques and little nuances that will help you perform the magic, then its a good buy, however if you cannot palm a card i would not pick this up.

Past Midnight by Ben Earl routine?
Can anyone tell me that has purchased this DVD, does he teach the routine in the demo video on one of the DVD's? The routines that produce all the clubs, with all the false shuffles ... etc?

He doesn't teach you the exact routine, but he teaches some of the sleights he used to pull it off. He doesn't go through the push throughs or all the false cuts, but more about the things he uses that aren't really taught in other places.
If you are thinking about buying it, bite the bullet and do it. It's a pretty impressive DVD.

Thanks, do you have any other suggestions on a video that teaches a good gambling routine that is similar to the one on the demo for this product? I am looking for something where the routine is already laid out. I just want to add a demonstration of sleight of hand to my card work using a gambling theme. After that I am pretty much done with card magic for a while.
