I think the video's great. Alot of impromtu stuff you can do at pubs or restuarants. Skill level required, i would say Intermediate to Low. Nothing too hard to learn. And some really great tricks~
Cheers.

Excellent set of DVDs. Highly recommended.
The material is NOT easy. If you're fresh from a Cris Angel special, sorry, you will need to practice to perform the effects well.
It's a mid-high end intermediate level. Greg explains all the sleights used, but you will need familiarity with holding coins and objects in their "special positions".
One issue I must point out though, is that Greg's performing style is Greg's performing style. I see a lot of people copy his patter, mannerisms and behaviour almost in their entirety. Don't be like that.
The effects are practical and powerful. I use a couple of them on a regular basis for paid walkaround performances.
The watch steal is far from comprehensive. Don't buy these DVDs just for the watch stealing, you should buy them for the other effects. The stealing/pickpocketing is an ok introduction, but not much use as a standalone guide.
For watch stealing try Chappy Brazil's video. For pickpocketing in general, get Stealing the Show.

what about "mastering the art of pickpocketing"?
came across it recently.. comparing it to stealing the show, is it any good?

On The Spot Should be not too bad. Its quite overpriced if you ask me.
Some tricks can actually be found in kids magic book. Haha. I know because I saw THEM before
Tricks are good but need practise. Lots of sleight such as shuttle pass and what so ever. Quite a nice DVD. My views are GET IT...
Since US currency is dropping to about 1.52, the overprice problem should be solved. I brought this dvd when it is 1.7. You know... Just 0.18 can save a lot.. But you must buy a lot at one delivery of course. Alright. That's my view. Thanks for reading.

Its not that low. The average rate the past week was about 1.57, moreover, the bank charges about $0.03 more. So, the rate would effectively be about 1.6. :off:
Anyway, this is a good video.

I'm in the financial line and I monitor the rate everday. That's why I know the rate is not that low.
