Finally got around to trying this out, and here's my review of the whole thing:
MOVES:
Eclair - Easy but cool move. My favorite part is the little extension about halfway through with one of the packets, but I'm not really a fan of the card riffle at the end although it's not a huge negative for me. Picked up the move without any trouble, and it's fun to do.
Curvest - Definitely the hardest part of the whole thing, and really the only one I had trouble with. This is mostly because I've never been good at the single card peel-off move, and also I was using wynns while learning these which aren't exactly the best for that. Other than that, the first 360 card rotation is a bit tricky. Overall I think this is the most creative of all of the flourishes
Verv - Easiest part. If you know Molecule, you'll pick this up the first time you see it. Looks nice though, and it's really just a transition move between the two more flashy parts.
Centrifuge - Looks harder than it actually is. Picked this up first time through as well, but it is flashy and has some "wow" factor to it. Reminds me a bit of Reinvention by Michael James, although that move is way harder than this one.
Flow - Combination of all the moves, and supposed to be the same type of concept as Jackson Five by D&D. Nothing really new to add about each of the parts. I did have one issue with it, which is that I thought it didn't really "flow" as well as it could have, since the deck pretty much goes back together between each move. The thing with J5 is that the cards are always in 3-5 separate packets throughout the whole thing instead of going back together, so I don't think it flows as well as it could. That's really just a minor thing though, and overall I thought it was a creative, quality flourish.
Overall: 8/10
TEACHING:
The teaching is decent. I think some of the moves could be taught in more detail, and someone with less experience might have trouble figuring out what to do. Positives include verbal teaching, two different angles, and directions that are good enough to learn with. The moves themselves don't exactly require a ton of in-depth teaching, but there are some parts that are somewhat skimmed through. Way better than the System, at least...
Overall: 7/10
PRODUCTION:
It's good. Not going to go too in-depth here but I will say that there certainly was some time spent on this, and it wasn't an afterthought. I thought it added quality to the whole thing overall.
Overall: 8/10
PRICE:
It's free
Overall: 10/10
OVERALL OVERALL: 8/10. Creative, easy to learn, and free. No real complaints, except that the names of the flourishes are kinda lame...lol
