hey everyone,

i just saw a tab on my browser that i had put there a long time ago, and it brought me to Past Midnight By Benjamin Earl. and i remembered that i wanted to pick this up. but i wanted to get everyone elses opinions on it also... Do you think it is worth picking up?
 
I was extremely disappointed but thats because of the hype. Mostly minor variations on published sleights ( difficult to find ones ). Like the Curry bottom palm, un-finessed middle card steal, bad-effect version of Jerry Sadowtiz's Name a Card Triumph ( though he did reduce the number of needed shuffles ). Alot of uncredited stuff, like a card production out of Apocalypse magazine, a thought-card-to-pocket, and an additional idea of using Si Stebbens for a bridge deal (yes, that bridge deal ) the additional idea although interesting look at Si Stebbens, it fails when it comes to a practical application.

their idea nice ideas though. Work on peeks is worth your attention. I believe its on vol.3. The Strike color change idea is so simple that it strikes me ( pun intended) no one has thought of it before, including me. The Erdnase productions are nice if you're and Erdnase fan. The false shuffle is not bad either.

I personally find it simply way too hyped. I dont believe its a "must", far from it, except the above, the material isnt new at all. Simply contrived, from Marlo in particular. If you're a Marlo student, dont get your hopes up with this DVD.

I hesitate to say this is a "must" because of it's skill level.

Benjamin goes extremely fast when teaching as this DVD is for professionals that have the basics down pat such as bottom palming and the pass.

In terms of difficulty, I'll compare it to the Trilogy; the trilogy was hard. Very hard, however, compared the Past Midnight, you would be gracious of how Dan and Dave explain everything instead of assuming you know how these moves are done.
