i recently purchased past midnight by benjamin earl. i have to say that this is one of the best dvds i have seen in a while. Ben is an excellent teacher and goes through every move in detail. there are some moves which you should know such as culling, classic pass, 4for4 switch, zarrow shuffle and palming. almost all of the tricks are very easy to do with practice. i highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in card magic. my favourite effects have to be shades of hofzine,r the stroke change, and mental voyage. lots of the tricks on the gambling dvd are very useful for creating tricks and for everday magic use like the faro false shuffle and the palming techniques. the effects taught are as follows.
