From Hollywood and Las Vegas to Monte Carlo, Sydney, Tokyo and beyond, Boris' original and creative approach to card magic has taken him to some of the most prestigious venues on five continents where he has received standing ovations.Now, it's your turn to watch and learn Boris Wild's favorite creations as he reveals them for the very first time on video in this amazing DVD set. You'll witness astounding, truly miraculous card magic using his outstanding, world-famous BW Marked Deck. Boris will teach you every single detail of his ingenious system as well as incredibly clean routines that will fool you badly and, after you learn them, will leave your audiences shaking their heads! One of them, Pure Telepathy, is considered by international experts to be "one of the most beautiful and theatrical card revelations in the world." You'll also learn the wonderfully deceptive Kiss Count, in addition to many highly-visual applications using this new technique. There's a colorful combination of cards and silks set to music, a spectator's kiss on an impossible journey to a signed card, and a fantastic, multi-phase routine combining All Backs, Triumph and Wild Card!
These three DVDs also feature a super-clean revelation of a thought-of card in mid-air, a unique prediction of a movie, plus Boris' best-selling effects including Miracolor, his diabolical Wild Monte, Very Wild!, and WPT, two eye-popping transformations of cards that will knock you dead. And there's more...!
The performances are fun and entertaining to watch and the secrets behind it all do not require difficult sleight of hand. The moves, principles and methods rely mostly on subtlety and cleverness. Boris explains everything in detail with clear step-by-step instructions, valuable tips, a pinch of theory, and in-depth psychological aspects in their own dedicated segment.

The Wild DVD set is a three pack of DVDs that teach you how to use two systems that Boris Wild has created that allow you to do absolute miracles with cards. As I watched him perform, even though I knew the basic method for the effects, I was still completely fooled many times. He teaches several applications for his two systems.
Believe me when I say, you WILL be blown away by these DVDs. I'm currently reading Wild's book which is equally amazing. I'll be reviewing it another time. The creativity and ideas put on display in this DVD set are some of the freshest and simplest I've seen in a long time. The methods, for the most part, are so clean and straight-forward that you can completely relax and really put time into your presentation. There are a couple of pieces of rubble in the set, but 95 percent of it is just solid gem status.
The price is about a hundred bucks. Which comes out to about $33 bucks per DVD . . . relatively typical for multiple-effect DVDs. I will say, however that for the price, they could have made the packaging a little more solid. My packaging fell apart the first week I had the DVDs. That aside, this set is well worth the bones you'll spend on it. However, if you're an amateur, you may want to skip this.
The set up involved (a one time set up) is a pain in the butt, but once set up, you'll not have to do it again for many, many, many, many performances. Also, there will be a time and money investment (beyond the DVD price) required to allow you to perform the effects found in this set. It's all 100% card tricks using Wild's systems, but it is some of the most powerful and deceptive card magic I've seen in years. Each effect is a showpiece.
For the workers out there, get it! It's worth every minute and dollar spent to get prepared for these effects. In addition to the price of the DVDs, you'll need to invest a few hours and between $5 and $25 bucks, depending on which route you take to create the "set up" required.
It's worth it gang. TOTAL ABSOLUTE GEM!!
