"The ultimate XCM DVD..." "From beginning to end, this DVD is of such beauty, quality, and quantity that one finds themselves utterly speechless at the wealth of knowledge contained within. I am both in awe at De’vo’s love and dedication of his craft and his pure and untainted talent. This DVD set is the be all/ end all of everything a struggling XCMer could ever need, and more. There were times when watching the XB DVD that I would wait for that one move that De’vo would do that would just wow me to the point of silliness, a move that to him is so simple, yet so utterly beautiful to watch… and he tops himself over and over again. I simply cannot describe the thoroughness of every detail that De’vo’s teaching style has. At once, it allows patience to those who wish to learn step by step, while also moving at breakneck speed to those who are talented enough to follow through one sitting. AND IT DOESN’T END WITH DE’VO! There’s Jerry McBride teaching! There’s Daryl Martinez and Greg Irwin! And who could pass up an HOUR LONG FANNING WORKSHOP by The Flourishman himself, Jerry Cestkowski! And, what an Xtremely cool guy Q is! This dude is realer than real deal Holyfield! You could tell that he’s from “da streetz” with just his normal mannerisms, and that he has no qualms about being himself in front of the camera! There is a rare and hidden quality of having Q’s learning experience caught on camera: if there is anything that De’vo or Jerry or any other of the teachers might have missed in their explanations, Q is able to catch it and tell it in a way that any novice to XCM would be able to understand. I know that there were a few pointers that he’s given me that I have noticed has helped me tremendously, and I’ve been practicing XCM for as long as I’ve been doing card magic! And I still need to practice and train! If you want to start off your journey into card manipulation, LOOK NO FURTHER! This DVD set is the best there is currently available, and quite possibly, the best that ever will be available. Film critic, Gene Siskel, before he passed on, once said that “there are rare times in life when one glimpses into the eye of brilliance at work, but more often than naught, it is the laymen who does not know any better that passes it by, letting it collect dust.” You. Yes, I mean YOU. Do no make that mistake of passing this by! GET IT NOW. " – Tomasi Akimeta, San Mateo, CA "When I first got the Xtreme Beginnerz DVD set in the mail, I immediately dropped it. I wasn't surprised though because I knew it's just too hot to handle. There is so much material that I had to take an intermission just to chill for the 2nd DVD. A overwhelmingly amount of valuable information and secrets that only the professionals know have been generously released for all of us, from the Fanning Workshop with Jerry Cestkowski, to the performing aspect of Xtreme Card Manipulation. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned professional or an inspired amateur; there is something on XB for everyone. Xtreme Beginnerz has been consistent with the past DVDs Superhandz has made. They're made with clear, pristine quality. They're taught at every angle possible and when I mean every angle possible I don't mean just 2 angles…I mean EVERY advantageous angle possible to give you a better understanding of each move. It also had crazy editing as if it was one big Hollywood movie premiere waiting to happen. The layout of the DVD is pretty sweet as it has several chapters from "Things to Know" "Basic Moves" to "Fanning Workshop". Within' those chapters you can choose the different moves/sections independently or just play that whole chapter. The nice thing about XB is that you really only need to watch it once because everything is taught so well, not like other products out there where you have to rewind it because they're teaching methods are ludicrous. My favorite section of Xtreme Beginnerz would have to be Perching. One interesting section was the Q section. That's where a beginner in XCM (Q) learned the tricks of the trade by the best, De'vo vom Schattenreich and Jerry Cestkowski. You get to see his progress and problems he had with each move and you get tips from what he learned through his mistakes. This was the most interesting and informative section I found because essentially it seems he already started the journey for you so you don't have to go through the same problems he went through. Throughout the DVD, there are a lot of funny moments from clowns to hooks, to bacon. There is not one moment on XB that gets boring. It's one big roller coaster ride that you'll never want to get out of. BOTTOM LINE: If you're looking for an all-out DVD Set of Xtreme Card Manipulation that gives you quality material that anyone out there can learn from then Xtreme Beginnerz is for you. This is truly "a bang for your buck! I'd have to say that this is a steal because there is so much material on this DVD set. Hell, call it a heist…it's CRAZY. Because there is virtually information on XB that others out there haven't even learned before, I'd recommend this to everyone, from the newbies to the card experts. So if I were to give the Xtreme Beginnerz a rating from "Bad", "Good", "Great", "Excellent”… I wouldn't give it any of these ratings. It's in a category of its own. It's "KICKASS"! " – Houdinez
