As I first saw the learning video I thought Oh how could I remember all this stuff there is no way. After going over the instructions multiple times I learned it really quickly. The most difficult part is that penguin did not include a performance video or a quick run through. So you have to go back and fourth in the instructions. After an hour practice I am able to perform this with my own pattern and it is a absolutely winning piece of magic so strong and hard hitting. When I see me doing the trick and the aces appear from the box in my Hand after all these displays I still fool myself. Great buy it and take the time.

You get a lot of bang for the buck with this instant download. Not only do you get a brilliant routine that has a lot of magical moments packed into eight cards, but you get expert instruction from the one and only Woody!
Woody teaches three variations of the E. count, an awesome technique for a D. lift and the best tutelage I have seen for the A. spread. These three utility moves are transferable to many other card effects and Woody’s instruction here is alone worth the price of the download.
The only reason that this is a four star review and not five is the lack of a full performance (others have commented on this as well in the “Discuss” section) and also the lack of a SLOW COMPLETE WALK THROUGH from start to finish in the tutorial. After practicing the moves and the sequence it is helpful to be able to go through the routine slowly from start to finish without all the detailed instruction.
I look forward to practicing this effect and putting it into my card set.

I love the fact that he explained how to do the different counts and spreads. This will take some practice but it’s not impossible. I love packet tricks. If I had to rate it I would put it on beginner/ intermediate level. Meaning If you have a basic understanding of card slights and handling this shouldn’t take long. On the other hand if you don’t ,it will take some practice but not over the top. I think this really is an awesome trick. And worth the money.

Dorset is an excellent Trick. Well taught on the Download Video. HOWEVER, Video should contain a FULL PERFORMANCE.
It did NOT Contain Performance - Please correct and update.
Thank YOU.

This combination of three classic routines, Twisting the aces (here queens), All backs and Reset all in one, thanks to the creative mind of Woody Aragón is really a outstanding piece of magic. And the accurate instructions of Woody himself, makes this video something that every card magician should have and study very carefully.

This is a very nice trick. I would reccomend this trick to more experimced card handlers though. Ive been practing magic for a month and some change now and im pretty good at pinky counts and double lifts. But what woody teaches here was a little overwhelming for me even though I learn pretty quickly. Overall it took me a day to learn the techniques the routine and do a little extra research on the techniques. Also be wary that there are some moves he does and does not point them out. I found myself thinking im doing everything as he does to find out i didnt move one card because he never actually gave that specific instruction. Even after all that i gave it five stars because of the price, all the new techniques i learned, the reactions it receives when its all done and no gimmicks used! This is my first review and i hope i did it right.

Only professional could do this trick and is not for beginner.and woody like always is very good teacher.i like the ending part of this routine. Everything is clear.

This IS an absolutely gorgeous trick. That's undeniable. It is IS difficult as well. It requires the use of some semi-advanced slights, as well as an intense amount of memorization skills. I am highly doubtful that a beginner magician with almost no exposure to magic would be able to pull this off. Thankfully, as an intermediate magician with about a year's experience, I had heard of and practiced most (but not all) of the moves beforehand.

That said, I can't say I'm really all that happy with the instructions. I understood about 95% of what Woody said probably, but missing only 5% can be a real killer. It didn't help that some of the terminology is not explained until the end of the video, so you're left, holding your cards, thinking "what the hell is he talking about?" I think, at the very least, the video should have contained full subtitles.

It is recommended that you have the cards with you. I would recommend not doing that until you have watched the ENTIRE video once. Then watch it again and try to follow along with cards.

This is where the instruction problems came in. There are, literally, about 90 steps to this trick. There is no freakin way you are going to memorize all 90 steps without rewatching the video, stopping, going back, innumerable times. And yes, I ended writing down every single one of them over 3 typed pages. I REALLY think this should have had a PDF companion piece.

I managed to be able to perform this, but it was very painful. Still, the effect is so awesome that I still think it's worth it.

8 cards and the box, thats it. The procedure took me a few rewinds to get but after that it becomes fluid and easier each time you practice. I love the Spanish school of magic and what they bring to us all. This was my first purchase from Woody and it wont be the last, new fan from Canada. This trick is visual and great fun, I can’t wait to perform it!!
