MindBender and Axis Change are the worst for me.
The rest are ok.

The Axis change is not a good color change because it is very angle sensitive and not very clean. I don't really recommend this DvD. One of the good dvd is perhaps MERCURY by david kong. :)

axis change was the worst product i purchased while Glass by adam grace just satisfied my craving for the method which was quite disappointing

I think the Ninja 1 & 2 plus crash course 1 & 2 are some good ones

yep ninja and crash course really sets you off to the feeling when you perform to friends or on streets, provided you learn it well and try to build a routine based on it, believe me it'll blow people away =)

Good Ones:
1. Ninja Series... Very useful and practical sleights taught. And I got to know the Classic Triumph.
2. How to Do Street Magic... Actually this one is ok only. I like it because I learnt The Glide from here. And it actually has a few interesting tricks which doesn't need cards (eg Sugar in Packet, Ring melted through shoelace)
3. Coin Thru Soda Can (Sinful)... What can I say? This is THE best impromptu trick I had!
I didn't have Crash Course 1 & 2, heard it's pretty good. How does it compare to Born To Perform? Anyone can enlighten me?
Bad Ones:
1. King Rising Levitation... Quite impractical and troublesome. I got it because of the preview, I was curious how he manage to levitate both feet. I prefer the Balducci Levitation. But then again, I don't really do a lot of levitation anyway.
2. Revolution... Ok, I am not saying the trick itself is bad but I don't really wear the kind of eh... "garment" that's required for this effect. So it's something I won't find myself performing.
3. Two Card Monte... Again, I am not saying it's bad but I prefer Oz Pearlman's version in Born to Perform. Cos' I am very bad at doing top change.
Anyway, though I think Brad Christian is very detailed in his teaching, I really can't appreaciate his style. Too slow, too deliberate... in his own words: "You got to do it slow...". I think Oz Pearlman is so much better.

Though I'm not a fan of E, I must admit that the Ninja series and Crash Course DVDs sure helped me a lot when I first started magic about a year ago (yeah, I'm still new and always learning!). :)
