The Effect
A DVD consisting of about 5 tricks/explanations, a sixth one is only a performance but i can see why. It looks bloody hard...

Cost
Only £11.75 from www.magicshop.co.uk
One of the reasons i bought this.

Difficulty 4/5
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

I would say 4 and 5, some of the moves are ok, others take A LOT of practice to perfect.

Review
You can watch just the performances or go straight into the explanations.
Most of the performances are fine and show Zenneth showing a bit of magic to a young lady (as one does).
The explanations were detailed and taught by Zenneth. The only downside is the ridiculously loud techno music played in the background. Sometimes you just couldn't hear the guy.
The tricks themselves are very modern and flashy yet this IS something you will do in the real world. Every trick has a substance, patter is easily integrated and the effects could last a lot of time if done right.
By this i mean they're in the style of say...the Buck twins but have an extra edge if you are sitting at a table and performing for a long period of time.
Zenneth himself, possesses warm qualities and seems like a real nice guy when on screen.

Overall
Brilliant stuff.
Visual, modern, clever and fun card magic.

9/10 - As i mentioned before, some stuff will take time to master.
And the damn music thats a tad too loud.
