Doesnt matter what dvd you buy from L&L publications or Michael Ammar,be prepared for in detail training/explanations.

There was that one move/sleight in the past that i did not feel comfortable with in a cubs and balls routine.Well not to long into this dvd/lecture my uncomfortable sleight has been discussed and explained the Ammar way,i guess my cups and ball performance stepped up to a higher level

Thanks to Michael Ammar..

For the beginner this dvd is worth it weight in gold,for those who perform cups and balls add this to your cart aswel,there might just be that one sleight in your routine that needs improvement

Michael Ammar always puts out the best instructional dvds. This one is no exception. As a cups and balls beginner, this DVD was invaluable. Ammar takes you through all of the important details necessary to execute this classic of magic. This is one of the best DVD purchases I have made. Unfortuately I don't own DVD #2, but I know what I will be buying next.

This has some of the best routines and effects in it and the teaching is remarkable and there's nothing that's not told in it and after you watch it there will be no need to watch it again because the teaching is just that GOOD!

Loved it! He went thru every move and repeated them with a clear cup. Got a lot of wonderful ideas to incorporate into my routine. Buy this if you want to master cups and balls! Then buy Gazzo and see how to have some fun with it.

Everything you'd expect from Michael Ammar Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 15th, 2015
I'm not new to the Cups and Balls so I didn't expect to learn a great deal of "new" material. What I did hope for was to learn a nuance here a subtlety there. I was not disappointed! This is a DVD that I will come back to often and each time I do I expect that I'll pick up something new.

Great Info, but be aware... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 16th, 2017
Very thorough. Good teacher. Just be aware that this is only volume 1. So the "complete" cups and balls is not complete until you buy volume 2. That being said, I just did.
