Ooo, I'm on a roll today!!
C4: CapCuts; The Craziest Card Contortions EVER Created
If you're into flourishes you will probably like this video. I bought it when I was going through a stage of using alot of flourishes in my routines. Now I tend to use these moves more for warm up or just playing with a deck.
This video contains 9 cuts and 3 "extra" moves. The extra moves are probably best described as the basics of the more complex cuts.
Each cut is designed to be performed in the hands and not on the table. This makes this DVD pretty much ideal for street/walk around workers who don't use a table. Just to get a feel for the type of cuts contained on the video here's the contents list:
1. Intro
2. Transitions (extra)
3. Z-Cut (extra)
4. 1 Card Popout (extra)
5. B.R.S. (Blind Rotational Sybil)
6. 5 faces of Sybil
7. Porcupine
8.Bridge Cut
9. Hexagon Cut
10. Octagon Cut
11. Line Cut
12. Line Cut Deluxe
13. The CapCut
Now if you visualise what those cuts might look like you'll probably coe close to how they actually do look (all except the CapCut and the Sybil moves) The CapCut is Cap's personal cut and it's very impressive.
Now although this is a good flourish video the teaching is a bit naff really. Cap Casino is, if I'm right, only in his late teens and alot of the teaching smacks of immaturity in performance and confidence. Also the teaching isn't as thorough or clear as it could be and it takes alot of work to actually understand how to do it because the video conatins alot of unneccesary backtracking. The presentation of the whole DVD is a bit shoddy aswell and the camera work isn't very good.
Overall though it's a valuable DVD in terms of flourishes and depending on your performance style there is probably something here for you.
Overall: 6/10
