Each section is broken down so you can fully take on what is happening. I would suggest beginners can buy this because the DVD gives a good grounding but even if tou have been doing the chop cup for some time I would suggest you will still learn a lot from this DVD. The section on sleights is brilliant and Brad Burt does an exceptional job of teaching some of the sleights needed. He covers 3 sleights which is enough to do a chop cup routine there are some further sleights covered by Larry Jennings etc in their routines. Brad covers The roll vanish which he admits takes a lot of time and practice but the end result is worth it as it is a very deceptive vanish. It really does look as if the ball goes into his hand. Then the Schneider vanish with a chop cup ball again very deceptive. He also goes over the French drop vanish. Now I bet some of you are thinking you know all there is to know about the french drop. Well think again because Brad puts a totally different slant on this ancient sleight and makes it look very magical with his slightly different handling. All in all a great addition to anyone who is interested in the Chop Cup. Razamabaz UK
