I gotta be honest, I was super stoked to see this, and was immediately thinking "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY".

But after watching the two "free" videos... I'm actually less inclined than I was before. Watched both and there's actually no "free" lesson at all. Just two infomercials about why I should learn all the beginner lessons that you're now doubt about to hook me in to. That leaves me feeling like you're being disingenuous and has me reconsider.

This is compounded by the unfortunate lack of content. I give you $9, watch the 12 videos...and then what? 1 or 2 new videos a week? This is netflix pricing for a few 5-10 minute videos each month. And when will that go up to $19? All of this adds up to make me super wary. Sorry if I sound very negative... I just went from very excited to very disappointed in a very short period of time :)

EDIT: btw... have bookmarked and will check it out again when there's more content.

52Kards on YouTube has many free tutorials at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels:

Although I just dabble I think they're mostly very good. They're definitely easier to grasp than the books I remember as a kid.

Recently he's moved to doing non-free material:

In my limited experience YouTube has almost everything. Search for, I don't know, "table faro shuffle", and you'll find a few meh results and one gem. (Table faro shuffles are arguably what Ricky Jay is doing at the start of this classic, if you don't believe it's just a camera edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWvRorX0KhQ )

You could also try the old fashion way and get a Card College copy :)

The first two books should be enough to entertain you for a while...

Thanks for the feedback. We agree that our value prop is weaker until we have more videos in the backlog. We are shooting more videos now, and hope to have a large library of videos to offer our customers very soon.

Also, the $9 rate is for life, so when the price increases, early adopters will always be at the $9 rate.

This should be more prominent. "Lock in this price now!", etc.

This is basically what I was going to say as well. Are you really losing out on much if you make the "Ribbon Spread Turnover" a free video just so we can actually learn somehting from the initial visit, prior to sign up?

Just made a full video on Key Card Basics featured and free. It is a full lesson.
