Just bought the above on the basis of the Wizard Review....they loved it.

Whilst I am not unhappy I bought it it does seem to be a few good effects with a lot of filler. I was wondering what everyone else thought.

Hi Danny.

I did say there was filler on the DVDs but there are a few routines that are really great.

We took 30 copies of each DVD to Blackpool and I was Deming them by performing PS I Love You, ACAAN and Handy Prediction. We had sold out of all the DVDs within the first 3 hours!

It's frustrating that there is so much filler but there are some good effects.

Keep up the good work!

I think there is already a long thread on this DVD set where everyone else slates it and Craig puts on his tin hat. Smile

Craig with all due respect, do not call it Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN). It is ONLY a Card At Any Number (CAAN). It is a good trick though.

I purchased both DVDs and I really like most of the stuff on them (The only effects I'm not too keen on are Coffee Melt and Instinct). The effects are simple and would appeal to people that want an approachable start in mentalism. I'm only a hobbyist, but I've been using many of the "filler" effects recently and have received good reactions.

You can perform it as an ACAAN really easily - just use 2 decks.
