Cullology

I really wanted to buy his book on the cull. However, it looks like it’s “possibly discontinued”. But thankfully they have this download which covers a lot from the book. You learn the cull which is similar to how Kostya Kimlat teaches it (but a lot less detail), plus two techniques utilizing the cull (super cool stuff). I bought this for the routines which are all really powerful effects. All the routines are taught really well. Definitely check it out.

This great! Culls are terrifying but this is a great resource. Video and sound quality are poor but that's no reason to remove a star. I'm slowly(very slowly) learning the motions but soon enough muscle memory will kick in and I'l be able to move faster.

This is such a great video! Very clear explanation and show several different ways to cull. Not just 1 card. The video also shows a few trick that the cull can be applied. Harapan give very detail explanation as well. Slight downside is that the video quality is slightly low quality, but its still watchable.

This should be paired with Ong's Close Culls book. The download just goes perfectly with it explaining all moves in detail. I wish I could rate this something higher than excellent because I would. Interested in bringing your cull game up, this will level you up and then some!

The routines are absolutely brilliant! Could have gone more in depth with the cull tutorial but its not enough to make it any less worth buying at this price point.

Excellent download that really opened me up to new possibilities for the cull! I would recommend it for someone already versed in the cull, but not so much for beginners. For them I would recommend the Road Runner Cull tutorials.

I loved Cullology! I'm a huge fan of the Cull and tried different variations, applications, etc. and the ones taught here are awesome!! My highlights are the Buckle Replacement and the Cull Tap Reversal, WOW, great techniques, great applications, great magic.

For me the best sources for learning the Cull, variations and applications are Roadrunner Cull by Kostya Kimlat and Cullology by Harapan Ong.

This download gives you a very useful tool for creating impossible things with a deck of cards. I can't recommend this enough

Alex

If you use the cull, the material in this download is first-class. Very sophisticated & logical, I hope Harapan plans on releasing more.

Harapan Ong is always a safe bet when you are going to purchase some of their products. In this case he puts himself in the shoes of a professor to try to guide us through the intricate path of Cullology. The technique itself is not easy to achieve so do not expect immediate results. To point out something negative, the background music is a bit annoying, perhaps too loud in contrast to Harapan's voice, very low and inaudible at times. Otherwise, it is a good lesson that all card magicians should learn.

Great tricks and teaching!
The video and sound quality are not the best, but there is no problem understanding the tricks and their tutorial. The tricks are good, and if you are a at the begining of learning the cull, it will help you getting better at this move and mastering it.
I recommand it to anyone who wants to get better at culling.

I like Harapan's lectures and magic in general, but this only gets 4 stars for the effects. I was looking for a more in depth tutorial on the spread cull but I find the the descriptions are minimal and details are missing, I usually like a tutorial that points out a lot of things to avoid.

The production value is a little low also. The music is louder than Harapan's voice. The music is a bit irritating to my liking.
I'll keep practicing, but I feel like "what I am doing" is just attempts to follow what Harapan is saying and showing without success. I guess this all goes with the consensus that the cull is one of the difficult techniques.

The teaching of the cull itself is covered basically in the first 5 minutes. A bit of a disappointment for me as I was hoping for a far deeper coverage of the basics.
Apart from that, this download is full of creative and original applications of an under-applied move.
Worth the price.

I generally think very highly of the things that I get from Vanishing Inc., but in this case it was a bit different.

I have seen many variations on the execution of the cull from many well-respected sources. The technique taught in this video is, in my humble opinion, not great. There are a few issues with this particular handling that can give it away if you are not careful.

I would have also liked to see a little more tips or hints on how to make it flow better than what was given. I am just not sure the instruction was as clear as it could have been, though it is passable enough for some to learn to cull easily enough.

Having said that, the effects shown for use with the cull are first rate and excellent! What is more is that those effects can be done with any method of culling. Another nice thing about them is that they use the cull for something other than what you normally see it used for.

If I were rating this with stars out of five possible, 3.5 is where I would put this. Not a bad job for a first release, but I think the technique is not quite right and the instruction in that portion could have been a little more clear.

This video is pretty good. This video is very reasonably priced. There is an apparent relationship between the price and production value. The production is pretty bare bones. It appears to be filmed with a camera that is not of super-high quality, but it is not by any means grainy or unwatchable. So there are not a lot of frills here, but the price point benefits from the bare bones production.

To me, there are two reasons to purchase this video. The first is simply to see the spread cull executed competently. Indeed, some may even consider this to be expertly executed. However, it is not "Kostya Kimlat on Fool Us" expert level.

The second reason to purchase this video is the great ideas that Harapan has. Harapan offers some great applications of the cull. While I give this as the "second reason," this is the best reason. Harapan's ideas are great, and are a great reminder that the cull can do more than control cards to the bottom of the deck.

I am glad I purchased this. This helped me on my journey to learn the cull. I am still on that journey, by the way. Feel free to join me by purchasing this video.
