Hey guys, this is my first review, hope you like it. Don't bash me for this, read it and appreciate the work done by the Virts and Bone.
Anaconda dribble:
The worlds longest dribble…
Quality of Teaching: 10/10
Video Quality: 10/10
Overall: 10/10
Great teaching. The tutorial gives precise details which are the key to master the anaconda, it explains in the best possible way.
It even goes through the timing and hand coordination which is essential to master the anaconda.
If that wasn’t good enough, this is the first dvd to actually have instructions for both left and right handed people.
The explanations are extremely clear, making it accessible to beginners in cardistry. The intermediates and pro’s will love the detailed teaching too. So there’s something for every one.
I’ll get back to my opinion on the Virts hate fest that went on here in the end of the review.
Contents:
The dvd/download contains not only the Anaconda, but have several bonus moves too such as:
Hot Stones – 1,2 and 4 card productions.
Hindu Tornado – amazing!
Mannequin – one handed T display
Razor – coolest one hand cut ever!
Butterfly – card twirl/revelation, I like the move.
The Eye Cut:
One of the most beautiful displays, according to me. The main basis of the eye cut is the Talon. It is a little difficult because the Talon really stretches your hands, and if you really need to get used to it to make it smooth.
So, the basic move requires time and effort to master, however the eye cut is not the only application for the talon. However, it is taught extremely well, with details to finger positioning and wrist movements etc.
The explanation gives several other applications to the talon too, like with an in the hand riffle shuffle, and with one handed fans etc.
10/10 for this too
Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is very nice! It goes very well with the moves I practise, and can be a good listen anyway!
Personally, I loved the soundtrack. Great work Roland!
Conclusion and Final remarks:
Overall, I give everything 10/10, and actually the Virts and Bone Ho should get 11/10 for their efforts. I can’t be thankful enough to these guys. I’m fairly new to cardistry, only 1 month, and the Virts and Bone Ho have inspired me to actually get into cardistry, otherwise I was only into magic before!
I saw the hate fest that went on against the Virts and Bone and I’m here to express my opinion. People got so angry and were so uncooperative when something went wrong and they didn’t receive their downloads in time. Yeah, it was late, so what? People started saying the Virts have poor costumer service etc, and I disagree.
Yes, the downloads were late, but so what? They apologized so many times, every one makes mistakes, in fact, I think it was even worth the wait, I’m sure those who have the downloads would surely agree with me? I would in fact not even minded waiting another few days for the downloads.
In fact, has anyone thanked them for their efforts yet? Or have those who bashed them appreciated the other things they have done. The dvd is for both right and left handed artists, first dvd in my knowledge to do that. They wrote SO many emails before informing us about the event and had excellent correspondence. They kept us updated everyday and I doubt if someone has thanked them for it. Some may argue, it's their job. Well, no, its not their job to give away something they worked so hard to develop, its a favour to the community and people must appreciate that.
One more thing, a lot of people are saying, there is no point buying the DVD, the anaconda is just a dribble BLAH BLAH. Well, yeah it is, but it has a modified grip, which is very important to achieve the anaconda. Secondly, the learning curve for the anaconda is steep, and that is even after buying the download/DVD, and that’s because it is an extremely difficult move to perform long and well. It requires a lot practice and patience like many other moves, the downloads really help ease the process through that steep learning curve. Even though it still remains a steep learning curve, it would be a lot more steep if you didn’t watch the explanations.
So basically, if someone hasn't bought the downloads/DVD yet, I recommend you do buy it.
Thanks.
