He definitely meant it as a compliment . . . he's just saying that Richard Turner is unbelievably talented and that no one else has his skills. I hate it when non-mods try to be mods.
For the control, don't push the bottom packet back until the moment you're about to swivel the card into into the deck. Watch how I do it in the video. I use the whole front of the card to block the front of the deck for the second or two it takes to push the bottom packet back. It seems...
There's always the classic cull, which I use a LOT. Kostya Kimlat has an excellent DVD called The Roadrunner Cull, where he tells you how to get the fastest cull possible and make it completely invisible as well. I created one called Shift which you can learn here: http://www.vimeo.com/11580783...
That was better, and I got a better idea of what the change was supposed to look like. Keep practicing, bro. It truly makes a difference! By the way, you kinda inspired me to come up with a different version of this change. :)
Where to begin . . . you flashed majorly twice and your card handling is awkward. You might want to take this video down because you clearly show how you do this change, even though I know you didn't want to.
The ones that t11 sold, if I'm not mistaken, WERE the second editions. The first editions had a different box and I believe a slightly different design as well.
Yeah, you can easily research this stuff on your own. Stop making threads like this. Please. If I may, I will refer you to an earlier thread that you created.

Yeah, if you're having trouble with all of those decks, then it's not the decks. It's you. Practice more. The more you practice, the better you'll handle cards.
All of you guys are freakin' idiots. Look at how this thread started and look at what it turned out as. Stay on topic, please. Sheesh. Egos these days . . .
You want advice? Keep performing. Sure, you'll mess up, fumble with your cards, maybe even stutter a little bit or get shaky hands. The more you practice, the less nervous you'll get, and the more natural of a performer you will become.
A little harsh on the fan thing, don't you think? I'd like to see YOU do two perfect one-handed fans at the same time. Anyway, I thought the trick and the video were great! I loved the idea; it's very direct, open and visual. Great job!
