Didn't this just come out? I think it's too soon for anyone to reply.

Actually it's been out for quite a while. A lot of the material is very mediocre though. Innovator's Solution, for example, is just a transition from Tudor's Bad Habit into a modified BRS. Siskel 5 faces was just 5 Faces with a modified ending. Porky Porcupine is an UGLY, ugly display based on the Porcupine from C4: Capcuts. The Pentagon Cut isn't really anything new, as is the Advanced Twirl False. The Flexed Hex is just a new way of getting into the Hexagon, as is the Spin Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge I'm sure has been done before many many times as well. The Royal Flush production was just really ugly despite it being an instantaneous 5-card production (which really does sound good in words, but it is UGLY). The only things pretty much worthwhile were the Cyclopian which was pretty darn huge and the one-card flourishes. There wasn't anything new or special in the DVD that I could see of. Most of it was basically the same stuff as his previous DVD Capcuts.

Also, almost all the material is based on the stuff from C4: Capcuts, and he doesn't go through that material so if you didn't have that in the first place, you're not going to able to learn anything from the DVD. Even with the DVD, his teaching is confusing sometimes. Also, the Expertmagic website says "multi-angle features to aid the learning process", but the entire DVD was ONLY shot from the front and no other angle, which essentially makes that false advertising.

If you're a fan of Cap's work, you may want to get this DVD. If not, you can save your money for something else more worthwhile.
