Absolutely superb. Ben’s videos feel like a one on one jam session. The small incremental changes he adds to the sleights are priceless.

This is without doubt pure gold.
I wish this was my first introduction to card magic, how much time I could have saved leaning what really matters.
Brilliant.

Gather round the table - it's Ben Earl, a fella who oozes comfort and confidence with the cards, and is quite willing to share his ideas on how to get there yourself.
I'm past the basics, the deep discount on this download (black friday) had me happily watching Ben and again reminding myself how these basic building blocks of handling, attitude and motivation with the simplest of techniques allows magic to ooze out of the deck before you've even had a card selected. Helpful for all levels of performance!

Ben’s teaching is in depth and informative. The study of touch and movement in card handling is what I find interesting. Great teaching.
