For $30 bucks, you get a poorly produced DVD with tons of audio problems and lighting issues and just all around grainy and circa 1970s looking film "quality." You also, however, get a really cool effect with a couple of stationary-store props.

The DVD focuses on an envelope loading technique developed by Gareth Shoulder. You'll learn 5 pretty darn solid routines plus some cool bonus ideas and tips. All of the effects can pretty much be done surrounded. It's a super clean signed card to impossible location. Additionally, you learn a pretty solid two card transpo, a thought of card to envelope and a couple of other ideas.

Just the tricks alone, this DVD would probably be a 4.5 star DVD. However . . . some of the audio is really bad. A good chunk of the footage was filmed outside and the wind appeared to be blowing right into the mic and completely overpowered the performers. Putting aside the audio issues, the price isn't bad either, but again, putting the audio issues in . . . brings the points downs a bit.

If you don't mind sitting through a bit of a dry explanation with really bad audio from a guy who his definitely knowledgeable and has read some books in his time, then you'll be happy with your purchase. Total product status - 2.5 stars with a final Stone rating of Gem.
