Extremely entreating Magic can be learned here.
The stories Harris tells puts you in a good mood.
And I feel this is disarming to the audience.
For example Bizarre Shrink. People love this effect, and funny it's a trick where the card shrinks at their finger tips. And they love it because it feels so unshowoffy. You didn't make the card double in size and say - "Whoa look at me."
Harris makes fun of this type of attitude whilst maintaining what the best of impromptu close up magic is.
Also I appreciate the very minimalist approach. Just a few decks, and maybe some glue. :)
There is also a little mini QnA with Harris. Although it's short, you do see Paul Harris not Paul Harris :)

Some of these effects are not really for me, but that doesn't mean they aren't good for someone else. For me, Screwed Deck, Bizarre Shrink, and Mondo Nifty False Count. His touches on the Balducci Levitation are very helpful as well. Oh yes, Immaculate Breakthrough is also pretty cool!!

I highly recommend getting the other Stars of Magic with Paul Harris. You can't go wrong.

Well I like to state that paul harris is the man! he has been so influencial for sooo many magicians its unbelievable everyone should get his dvds while he only has so many that actually have himself perform and teach the effects. i admit some performances are kinda old school and very strange but there's some cool effects that have been redone by others its just nice to actually watch them done in original fashion and inspiring to how it got some many to revise the effects. for me my favorite is super swindle and ultimate ripoff just cause i like destroying cards and mutilate them which is why i like paul harris"s stuff. you guys and girls should atleast check it out its cool all his stuff is natural feeling and looking,ingenius and devious. and bytheway this is my first review so hope it did something usefull.

Yet another great collection of effects from the Art of Astonishment series. Probably the best trick on this DVD is Bleached Blackjack. This trick is absolutely stunning and is definitively a magician fooler too. Watch as you magically move the pip on an ace to a different position, and then back to it's original position, all using REGULAR cards. The effect is so stunning, it's hard to believe (even when you are performing it for yourself) that there are no gimmicks. Buy these DVD's and you won't be disappointed.

I know it's kind of weird to say, but this DVD was pretty funny and really good, but also very annoying. It's really cool to see him perform some of these old classics again though. ANd you're really getting 2 VHS tapes on one disk. Anybody unfamiliar with Paul's material should pick one of these up. It's really good material and he's a very good performer in these. I openly laughed many times while watching and I noticed how much these bring a smile to my face. They will bring one to yours too. A very hairy smile :{p
