Cullology

Cullology is a triumphant project by our newest team member, Harapan Ong. The download contains 50 minutes of useful and detailed tuition covering culling basics, right through to advanced techniques and tricks utilizing the cull.
You'll learn:
Cull Masterclass: everything you need to know to do the cull smoothly and effortlessly. Harapan is a master at the technique and you can be too. He also teaches two new moves that utilise the cull: Buckle Replacement and Cull Tap Reversal.
Buckle-lectors: four Kings displace into random position in the deck and then collect in the middle, with three selections below them. Considered card magic construction at its best.
Indicated Replacements: the spectator inserts the Ace, Two and Three of Clubs into various positions of the deck in order to find three selections in increasingly move impressive ways.
Come Back to Displace: a multi-phased handling of Bill Goodwin's "Slap Exchange" that will take you off guard.
Mental Reverse: a modern day reworking on the "Biddle Trick" with several interesting new additions.
Customer reviews for Cullology
10/10
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.
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
Apart from that, this download is full of creative and original applications of an under-applied move.
Worth the price.

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.
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 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.
