Thoughts on the Bottom Deal with Jason England

[Ben Long]

I just picked this up. Thought I'd share my opinions on it.

First and foremost, Jason England is a phenomenal teacher. He is incredibly articulate, very clear both in his explanations and his movements. I've been working on my bottom deal for a while now and this had definitely been worth it to learn England's technique and tips on the various handlings. The move itself is one of my favorites in all of card technique. If you're at all serious about card handling, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

I have a question, which grip does he teach? I'm right now using the grip taught in Expert Card Technique (with the index finger on the corner).

I'm glad someone finally made a review on a Jason England 1-on-1. I thought reviews were gonna flood in after the Stick Second Deal and Push Through Shuffle. Unfortunately nothing came up so i never bought either of them

I told sinful the only way there gonna get me to pay 15 bucks for this is if Jason and a Guerilla do it. Which is not gonna happen any time soon. Seriously though it's a great move... for 5 bucks.

I hear you. That's pretty expensive.

5 bucks for a 35 min. download? That would not be worth what he teaches. The set price is perfectly fair, as a typical magic dvd might have one hour for around 30 bucks. This one has a little over half an hour. So, divide $30 by 2, you get $15. $15 for 35 min. is just what it should be, and if you think that this is worth $5.....you don't understand the importance and applications of this move, or don't think he teaches well.....which he does teach it....VERY well.

This is only true based on the assumption that magic dvd's aren't over priced.

Ben, is it possible for you to tell us the applications that he goes through?

 

[Ben Long]

England teaches 4 grips, the standard deal, the stud deal, he goes over angles, practice methods--if you get one thing from this video, it is the exact process of how you can acquire a perfect bottom deal.

As for applications he doesn't really go over any advanced ones--I figured out the demonstrations he does at the beginning.

I will say this. This is hands down the best thing I have bought from Theory 11. Period.

I have been working on my bottom deal for some time now and this has helped me exponentially.

I'll say this again: If you are serious about studying sleight of hand, buy this.

I would have gladly paid 30 dollars for this. Theory 11, if you read this and feel the need to remove an extra 15 dollars from my account, feel free. It is worth it to me.

I agree with Ben, this is my favourite 1-on-1 thus far.

Jason England is an absolute stunner not only with a deck of cards but with his knowledge and general personality.

Great 1-on-1 I agree with everything Ben has said about it.

I can't believe people aren't willing to pay 15 bucks for this, truley outstanding.

Also, I find it difficult to understand why T11 marked this as only Intermediate. It might be Intermediate to deal a couple of Bottom deals successfully, but it sure as hell ain't Intermediate to perfect it.
