"Since this review deals with an absolutely HUGE package, I'll try to make it short and sweet without sacrificing important information.
How To Do Street Magic: There are a total of 14 effects on the DVD, some a little harder than others but all doable after a bit of practice. I particularly enjoyed the Voodoo Zone, also known as Card Warp, in which one card visibly turns inside out, and the flourish section was pretty neat, but not too advanced. This DVD is geared for the beginners but that’s not to say there wont be something on here that you like. 6/10
Inside Magic: Inside Magic is like the grown up version of Street. Some of these tricks involve sleights but can be extremely effective if done correctly. The Biddle Trick, which I believe has been preformed by David Blaine, is worth the cost of this DVD as a standalone purchase. 7/10
Crash Course 1 & 2: Crash 1 is a great DVD to start learning Card Magic with. There are several incredible tricks. 7/10
Crash 2 is all about the Ambitious Card Routine. I’ts nice to have reference material if you ever want to re-learn a sleight. I love the little street talks in-between lessons and performances and whole video flows rather nicely. 8/10
Ninja 1 & 2: Ninja 1 is my favorite DVD. 10/10 hands down winner. I'll tell you why. The Las Vegas Cheat Routine taught in this DVD is . Once you master the pass, its variations and get your patter down, people will flip when you show them the whole thing.
Weapons...Triumph is why youd hit up this DVD. This great trick uses misdirection to set up a seemingly impossible effect that i just love. The slights are also very cool, more passes, more fans, yet another Double lift section, plus an entire ACR routine? 9/10
Kard Klub: For whatever reason this DVD just dosen't do it for me. Yeah theres a ton of great material (be warned, only one trick, 2 Card Monte, is taught) and Brads teaching ability really shines through. The bonus section is jammed with special moves, additional performances and one great cut. 8/10
Shapeshifter: I'm sure 90% of the magicians in these forums know this move. Still, get this DVD. Marc and Brad both teach their versions in fine detail. Brad teaches his Gypsy Burn effect (im not feeling the Gypsy thing but w/e this effect is great) and how to get "in" and "out" of Shapeshifter. 8/10
King Rising: This is a wonderful illusion, completely impromptu, devastating to spectators. Personally I haven’t preformed it, but after seeing what the Balducci does to people, I'm sure this will be tremendous. 7/10
In conclusion, there is plenty of great stuff here for anyone, even a master magician like Brad or Blaine or whoever. If you ever considered getting any of the DVDs mentioned here, go for it, they are well worth the money. The package is great if you have some extra cash and dont own any of the DVDs in it.
Average Score: 7.8 (....seems lower than it should be.....kick it up to 8.8, the package is that good)
