You would need to know basic sleight of hand. They do teach the sleights they came up with, but you are expected to know common stuff like doubles and elmsley counts.
As for the best disc out of the set, it all depends what you're looking for. First disc is for card magic. Second disc is for flourishes. Third disc contains the miscellaneous card stuff. All 3 are great, it just depends on what you're looking for.

Yer basically basic sleights. They teach the tricks very well. My favourite disc is ahh its hard, its between 1 and 2. But I didnt like 3 that much.

in my eyes for a beginer get disc 3 then decide what you like best. Or save 15 bucks and get all of em
it sucks to be in singapore cause my dad refuses to allow me to use his credit card for unknown reasons thus i can not buy stuff online. anyway i predict the shipping will take forever.I buy my stuff from some old man at some card shop who sells dvds at expensive prices.it will take forever for me to get all 3. maybe a few weeks but anyway.. about the moving fan in volume 3 everything else, isit difficult to execute? and whats in the flourishes 101 on disc 3 any notable flourishes taught?
Flourishes 101 teaches all the classic flourishes such as dribbles, shuffles, sybil, charlier cuts, one handed revolution etc.
The 'moving fan' is called Under Pressure, if you can do a pressure fan you will find it quite easy, if you can't then it will be quite difficult.
Keep in mind that a lot of the material is quite difficult and will need considerable practice to get it smooth. Before you get The Trilogy you should be comfortable with moves such as Shuffles, Double lifts, The Elmsley count, The Half pass. If you have trouble with these moves I would not recommed getting The Triilogy yet.
I for one got the Trilogy as a beginner in magic. Sure, I could do a double lift (though stuff in the series made mine a lot better), riffle shuffle, and simple things of that sort, but for the most part I was skill-less. Not only have my skills generally improved just from watching random things that I have added to the tricks I've invented, but naturally the tricks and flourishes themselves have been great. You will have to put in a lot of effort to manage the learning curve, but if you're willing to do that you can try this out. Overall, the disks have great value for the price compared to otherstuff on this site.
If you need any help as far as slieghts they require, which tricks ans flourishes to start with, and other little things, feel free to shoot me a pm.

thanks for all the advice 
Is that the false count in The Queens? I have a few basic magic books, but they don't seem to have any tricks using an Elmsley Count, or teach it in detail...
