I received this DVD free when an order I placed was over a certain amount (thanks Penguin). I was surprised to find-out what it normally costs. If I’d have paid for this DVD then I, like many other reviewers, would have also been very, very disappointed; especially as the DVD case says a “signed” coin passes thru the balloon when really it should say a “marked” coin passes.

Also, I’ve not been doing magic that long so the fact I’ve never heard of Mr Bairefoot might be no big deal, but what I have heard of is the Classic Force. The ‘Bairefoot Force’ is in fact the Classic Force; maybe when he goes to France he calls the Eiffel Tower the Bairefoot Tower, who knows.

There are some other tricks on the DVD, but I was so underwhelmed by the main effect I gave them a miss. The DVD is being sold as a balloon trick with the other stuff as extras, so it's really the main trick that you are paying for; 29.99 for the main effect?....... buy a Jay Sankey DvD (or a couple of his tricks) instead.

1 Star - Thumbs-up (because it was free)

Easy of use = Basic Stuff; The Classic (‘Bairefoot’) Force needs practice.
Audience “wow” factor = Low to Medium
Audience Reaction = “Do you make balloon animals?”

Audience Target = Anywhere; might get laughed at in the pub; best for a kids party.
Could be performed Surrounded = Absolutely, no problem.
Reset Speed = 60 seconds, out of sight of people.
Examinable = Yes, at the end you are clean.
Fun to perform = You decide.
