Xtreme Bundle

EugeneSoh · Feb 26, 2008

Hey guys! I'm considering buying the Xtreme Bundle by De'vo.
I'll probably get a different answer in both places, but i have a few questions
(I'm an intermediate going advanced flourisher (mastered most of dan and daves stuff)
•Is it worth it? (The bundle?)
•What are the teaching Methods for the 3 DVD's? (Xtreme Beginnerz, Cradle to Grave, Cobra Cut)
•about how ong will it take you to master (if you practice about 8-9 hours a day?)

Thanks again guys!
Eugene

It' a great deal in my opinion. Sice your intermediate to flourishing xtreme begginerz would be pretty easy. The cobra cut will thake weeks to months to master. Cradle to the grave is an amazing dvd and it will take a while. As for the teaching it's step by step instruction best teaching in my opinion.

If you're that good, you should just get the Next Level Bundle, you might find XB a bit of a bore.

I know your skill level.

YOU are too advanced for XB already but it still might be a nice pick up. Honestly anyone who says they hate XB is 99% likely a person who has no idea what there talking about and or another flourish poser.

Cobra cut is a knack I can do it but I didn't buy it. If you just think your only gonna use the basic one then get one of the genii magazines I herd one of the issues teaches it.

Cradle to grave...mmmm well it got some good concepts and al. I guess its best for you if you really want it. sooo yeah.

yeah i ust wanna learn some cuts and get a kick outta it! its not supposed to be hard or easy, i just wanna have fun! thats why i'm considering XB =)
and i feel its good to learn something new too! it wont hurt =)

practicing 8-9 hours a day?
hard to believe...

XB is too easy for you and and Cradle to grave doesnt have much content...

Believe it or not, our top flourishes today use to practice that much a long time ago.

.

it's actually taught in an issue of "street magic magazine" which you can also buy from the handlordz store.

the genii issue with de'vo interview taught an opener and the "vierek" SSS.

eugene, don't forget to check out the companion DVDs to the flourishman's encyclopedia. they're the best value in flourishing DVDs anywhere, each one has literally hundreds of moves on it. although they are not taught, just seeing them done and realizing the possibilities will advance your technique a lot.

I beleive that, I just wonder when they had the time.... maybe I should just do my home work earlier

@ Trash doesn't the SM mag also have a De'vo interveiw?

trashmanf · Feb 27, 2008

yes it does, they both have a long and pretty good interview. the genii interview is notable because it was when all the drama was going around and before I even knew about flourishing so it helps fill in some history for the n00bs like myself. (some comments in there made me go "whoa" lol)

the street magic magazine interview is more of an intro to de'vo, XCM and the history. actually there's a lot of overlap between the two interviews but it's worth getting both magazines because the XCM tutorials are different.
