Hey guys, picked this up today, thought I'd write up a lil review for the people on the fence. I own the book this was published in, Card Finesse 2, but I wasn't too fond of the "choices" you have to make while executing the sleight. Without giving it away, theres a certain part of the move that makes it uneccassarily difficult. When I saw Dave Buck had made a download for it that included his personal ideas, I went ahead and bought it. I see a lot of people giving guys flack because they buy a sleight that is avalible in books. I many times agree with them, but a lot of times when its a difficult or under-used move like this, it makes it SO much easier when you are offered personal discoveries and tips from other people who have mastered the move. Sure, I'd love to see Charlie Miller teach this, but 1 he's passed away, and 2, no matter what, I'd love to see other peoples handlings, to see which one suits me best. Enough chatter, onto the Cascade Control!
This is a really good move. It looks nice, it feels nice, and it even sounds nice. Many scrutinize this control because of the flourish executed during the control. My response to that is...OFF BEAT. Do it on the off beat you moron. In my personal opinion, you can do close to ANYTHING on the off beat and the spectators won't say or think a thing differently.
The move is essentially 100% angle safe. It is pretty easy to execute properly, but it will take a couple weeks to a month to make it look real smooth.
The waterfall of course IS taught on the download. I've seen a couple people asking that, so to answer that, yes it is taught seperatly and in the control.
The teaching is fantastic. Anyone who owns the Trilogy knows that Dave is straight and to the point, and leaves no stone unturned. He adds 2 or 3 things that aren't taught in the book, and make the move a lot easier. I like his version a lot better than the one offered in the book. Anyone who owns both will probably know what we're talking about.
Quality is obviously amazing. They've got multiple angles, zoom-ins, everything.
Pros
-100% angle safety
-Fun to do
-Great teaching
-Great price
-Great quality
Cons
-In my personal opinion, nothing.
Dan and Dave have got to stop releasing such bad-ass sleights, or I'll lose all my money. Out of 10, I'll give it a 9.5, only because nothing can top the Truffle Shuffle.

I just picked this up and it's become one of my favourite moves already. I really want to master this one.
It's slick, a little flourishy in a subtle way and most of all it's deceptive. It literally looks like you just air out the cards and everything's legit.
My first 'official' teaching by Dan/Dave and I have to say I was pretty impressed. Love the background on it, love the structure of it, great control and at $5 it's an absolute steal.

I just got this and I have to say...this is one of the most deceptive controls out there. It is completely angle proof, VERY practical, and natural. Absolutely incredible.
Of course, the teaching was superb. Not one detail is missed out, and there are multiple POV shots of the move, in slow motion, with dave guiding you along the way (no non-verbal trilogy flourish teaching =] ).
All in all, I would give this a 9/10 as an overall score.
