Ryan's magic is kickass. If you haven't already purchased his book then this would be a stellar introduction into his magic. You get 3 1/2 hours of lecture footage from someone who is without a doubt one of magic's undiscovered gems. It doesn't matter if you're a restaurant magician, hobbyist, move monkey, someone who hates sleights, as long as you have a love for card magic then there is something here for you. I can't recommend this highly enough.

part of what makes magic commercial is entertainment value. he does very dry magic with cointing and dealing procedures. back in the 80's when laymen had more attention spans maybe this would fly. i wish i bought a different lecture. seems like a cool dude, just no visual magic and more of creator of puzzles.

I had the subscription for a little while and this lecture was in the mix I got. I did n't really know much about Ryan besides the pivotal peek and his book released through Vanishing Inc.

I had some down time and downloaded the lecture and finally watched it (way after it had aired). I really enjoyed it!

First off, Ryan is SMART and really has learned some cool principals in card magic. He's very honest and says he does perform other things besides card magic, but the lecture covers HIS work with cards.

the routines he covered had a small set up (or in some cases a little more) and are worker material which you can tell they have been worked for real people. They have multiple phases and end on a good note. Also a lot of the phases are excellent so you can end at any point.

The lecture was a nice surprise and if asked, I would have bought it again. I'll be paying close attention to the things Ryan releases from here on.

Awesome job man!

This lecture was great and the effects are awsome! he teaches very important material like how to print cards and other stuff that you will probably use.

This is a really great lecture, with so much fantastic material to choose from. My personal favourites are: The Mayhew, Sense-Sational, Symmetrical Matching, Insignia, The Untouchables, plus the awesome Pivotal Peek. Ryan is an excellent teacher and everything is explained very clearly. I can't imagine anyone not getting at least a couple of things they will use from this lecture to be honest.

I'm a full time professional and as far as I'm concerned material like this doesn't come along very often. I can't recommend this highly enough!

I'll try to keep this review as non-influential as possible since I consider Ryan to be a friend (well, a friend I only see at conventions).

On that note, after having seen Ryan's work at conventions, I was very excited to see this lecture. Ryan's creativity and card work definitely packs a punch, thus making this lecture worthy of every penny! I can't recommend this enough to all of you card workers out there.

This is one of the best lectures I had the privilege to see! Seriously.
It is chalk full of ideas, principles, tricks and methods.

In my opinion, already Sense-sational and the Pivotal peek are worth the price of this lecture!

I can't recommend this lecture highly enough.
All I can say is, anybody buying this will probably get the urge to research more of Ryan' work.
