Default Lee Asher's Thunderbird

I've been looking into it for awhile now, and can figure out how it's done, but need some fine points on it. I'm wondering it it's worth the $25 dollar for an e-book! Thanks to whomever does this (also looking for a reveiw on Aaron Fisher's Paper Engine if anyone has the time)

Hmmm...If I remember right...isn't there more than just thunderbird in the e-book.

Also, can't you get it for cheaper from Theory 11 as a download...

Correct me if I am wrong....

I to have watched the video and seen performances and gone:
"Huh...OKay...thats not to hard."

When I fiddeled around with the handeling, I did run into a few "FLOW" problems. I stopped after a while.

1. I hate effects that use all four aces. Seems cliche and I just don't like them.
2. There are more visual productions that I could be spending my time on.

Granted...these are my thoughts. The effect isn't for me.

That said...
Um...yeah.
I will fiddle around with it again and see if I can't come up with something to share here.

I haven't learned any real productions as of yet, only real effects I do that would require them are Mcdonalds aces, Acrobatic Aces (two variations), (not sure it this is the real name) Million Dollar card trick. Then there are none ace effects that require 4 of the same type such as; Guy Hollingsworth's waveing the aces, Buck brothers (not sure if they originated it) The queens (from the trilogy).

It does look nice though, more of a flourish than a trick in my opinion.

That looks pretty good! And a way better price than Thunderbird (which by the way, I think the other material on there is about the tenkai palm, I have enough books and video that have this, lol). Now to wait for payday to snag this up!
