It's okay, but there's nothing too special on the DVD. You need to know all the material from his first DVD Capcuts because most of the material in the tape is directly expanded from that (the Cyclopian Cut is an expansion of the Capcut/Porcupine, the Spin Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge concept are expansions of the Bridge Cut, Siskel 5 Faces is an expansion of his 5 Faces of Sybil continuation, Flexed Hex is an expansion of the Hexagon Cut, Porky Porcupine is an expansion of the Porcupine, Innovator's Solution is an expansion of Tudor's Bad Habit and Cap's BRS), and yes, Cap does NOT teach those moves, and he just covers the areas which he improved on, so if you have no clue how to do any of Cap's stuff or Tudor's Bad Habit or the like, don't get the video. A lot of the stuff is basically just the same thing as Capcuts.

Also, on the DVD page, there's false advertising, because they claim there are "multi-angle features" to help you learn better. Everything is filmed from the front. There are no "multi-angle features" unless they added that into the DVD AFTER I bought it from Hocus-pocus, which would really be a piss-off.

With that said, there IS some nice material in here, like the 1-card flourishes (Siskel spin, UPN Spin, Advanced Turnover), Siskel 5 Faces, Innovator's Solution and the Cyclopian. The Cyclopian is HUGE, Siskel 5 Faces is pretty freaking flashy and Innovator's Solution is a nice transition from Tudor's Bad Habit to a modified BRS. The rest of the material is actually quite boring, and stuff like Porky Porcupine is just UGLY, but there IS some nice stuff in there. Depending on your judgement, it would/would not be worth shelling out your 30 bucks. IMO, it isn't bad, but it isn't that good either.
