GREAT DVD! Kaufman is kinda "dorky" in the video transitions, but he presents everything with basic, easy to follow directions. No flash, no routines are shown, just great instruction on basic card handling.
I learned a great deal from this and I recommend it without hesitation!

I found this useful for nearly all basic techniques - different false counts, shuffling methods, etc. The guy who does the fill is a bit of a nut, but nothing too unexpected from a magic video. And.... it is really really really... did I say REALLY helpful to just be able to flip around because it's a dvd. I'd recommend it. It has what I want and it's very clear. Although, the guy goes a bit fast.... but there isn't much to these slights, so.... I guess that's most of it. I give it 4 outta 5 *s because... always room for improvement.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
