The DVD does a decent enough job explaining how the trick works and showing you a couple of routines to do with it. Really, Penguin should have Oz do a DVD for this deck as well, I'm sure he would explain things in better detail and include some more creative routines. Never-the-less, it's an easy gimmick to learn how to use. My main complaint is that the cards seem to be inconsistently modified. This deck uses a number of principles that are used in other decks and, without giving away the secret, I'll say that one of the ideas behind this deck is similar to the invisible deck. Now, the invisible deck I bought from Penguin is great, all of the cards are easy to control and I don't worry about them getting away from me. With this deck, as I spread the cards or riffle through them, as is instructed on the DVD, they sometimes show some cards that shouldn't be shown. I can't say more without explaining the secret. I'll just say to expect to spend some extra time with this deck learning the problems that occur and how to get around them.
