What can I say that hasn't already been said. Benjamin Earl is quite a card man. There are some elegant handlings on this set. The filming is quite beautiful. It makes you want to light a fire, sit an easy chair with a glass of brandy and just watch in amazement.

That has got to be one of the weirdest endorsements I've ever read.
Really? BRANDY?? I suppose it's better than tequila. |

Hi teejay,
As the guy that shot and edited the Past Midnight Project for Alakazam, all I can say is that those DVD's are just the tip of the iceberg. Here is a link to another thread that will give you more... http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......start=30 Best, Russ |

Hi Matt,
I really don't know, but there are things in the pipeline. Peter is better at answering those questions. The Extractor DVD is finished, but I only shot and edited it, the project belongs to Peter who produced the whole thing! Best, Russ |

If you want a standing pseudo-riffle shuffle that's done (in part) by the spectator, give them half the deck and you keep the other half. Both of you hold your halves in a biddle style grip and push the ends into each other.
It's not pretty, in fact it's somewhat clumsy looking, but I think that's a plus -- and it works just fine. |

I had a chance to see ben perform some of the stuff off this DVD live.
And it's even more amazing in person. Effortless. And his false riffle shuffle was simply unbelievable. I love this DVD, I perform Ramjollit all the time. A pleasure to perform... but most of the other stuff is going to take a loooooooong time to get down. Highly recommended for immediate to advanced card guys.

I concur with the sentiments that Ben Earl is one helluva cardman, and the Grey Shuffle is one helluva shuffle in his hands. On that note, I've been watching the segment over-and-over, but the cards just doesn't unweave cleanly in my hands while bridged - and it becomes a very real-looking shuffle because it ended up being one
If anyone have hints or tips for how this could be done (or where I could find hints/tips for this), please PM me! |

Tyler: I've made some head-way over the last few days. Unweaving by rotation around thumbs, like an opposite-sense-Zarrow, works better than pulling (which is what I was doing). Doesn't mean I can do it well still, but I've learnt to accept that progress is always incremental
