Bastard Hard Moves made Easy. This CD has detailed lessons on TopShot, Instant Replay and the Cascade control, as well as lessons on faro shuffles and even Blockhead. Nothing on this CD is self working, so it's not really for people who don't enjoy practice (there, I've said it now).

"Ian is a fantastic tutor and I whole heartedly recommend this CD" Will Wood
"10 out of 10 for the actual teaching of the included moves" Iggy, TalkMagic

Tops, Seconds and Bottoms The CD teaches dealing Tops, Seconds and Bottoms (obviously) from the same grip. A few things to note:
1. The methods on the CD are the ones I use in the demo clips. I don't talk about seventeen different methods.
2. Nothing on the CD is self working. If you are not willing to put in the practice, then don't buy the CD.
"I have never come across such a well-thought out and explained package of false dealing tutorials, in print or on screen, ever." Will Morton, MagicBunny.co.uk

Mucking Hard Moves made Easy. This is an in depth look at various hand mucking techniques for magicians. This is a VideoCD, which will play on most DVD players and pretty much any computer that has a DVD player app. It has a menu system and instant access, so it's not too far removed from the whole DVD experience...
"If you want to learn how to muck cards (especially if you want a visual source to learn from) then this is the ONLY choice as far as I am concerned." Will Morton Magic Cafe
"Fantastic!" Gary Middleton

Cover the Spot. Finally the complete kit is available to perform this classic Bunco game.

And the instruction he presents is so very thorough, like all of his instructional materials. Ian is the BEST."
