The Controls Project is a highly recommended Big Blind Media instructional DVD/download that teaches several ways to control a card, or several, to a specific location in the deck; usually the top, or the bottom, but it allows for placement of a card in other locations.
The video is taught by Liam Montier and the video quality is excellent. The teaching is clear and easy to follow due to the verbal instruction and the close-up video when needed. This project a good example of how to teach tricks with cards.
Beginners will learn and be able to implement the moves taught on this DVD/download and intermediate card handlers will also enjoy watching and learning.
The Controls Project starts off with several double undercut examples and variations and builds on the double undercut for more complicated moves.
At the end of the Controls Project, Montier performs 6 tricks in the studio, using moves you just learned and teaches them, with the same clarity as he taught the various controls.
The DVD/download is highly recommended for those that are looking to up their game and also for those who may want to remind themselves of moves they have forgotten.
