If you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This benchmark collection features just about all of magic's most enduring and classic effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for some of magic's classics. Linking rings, sponge balls, metal bending, cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing knives, and many, many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific DVD reference set. Each volume covers a specific subject and features new, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic.

Rope magic has always been a favorite of performers and audiences alike mostly due to the ordinary properties employed. Everyone is familiar with rope and when it does unexpected and impossible things, a truly magical effect is created. On this DVD, you'll see six of the world's most entertaining magicians perform and teach their favorite rope routines.

You'll see the hilarious routine that made Michael Finney one of the busiest comedy magicians in the world and Dan Harlan's miracle rope routine that you can do any time you have a length of rope and a pair of scissors. Aldo Colombini will have you laughing so hard you might just miss how magical and commercial his routine is. There's Jeff Sheridan's routine also, tempered by decades of performing on the streets of the world's greatest cities, that features sequences where the scissors become as much a part of the magic as the rope. Ted Lesley's very funny routine combines elements of many different rope magic classics, including the Professor's Nightmare. Finally, Flip's routine is unlike anything you've ever seen before as a solid loop of rope--an impossible object in itself--is taken from a length of rope, linked onto it and finally integrated fully back into the rope from which it came.

Ok but not the best Report this review

I always enjoy the World's greatest magic series. You get to see a variety of takes on a limited theme, from a variety of performers.

This one wasn't the best out there. The routines shown weren't really that good either. Aldo columbini's routine would be my choice for the best on the dvd. Dan harlan does a nice job with the classic cut and restored rope.

This would be a good resource for a beginner who wants a nice selection of rope routines. Otherwise I would get Richard Sander's Fiberoptics, which is also available from Penguin.

If you like rope magic you need this DVD. The price is perfect and the cut and restored rope routine by Harlan is a very good trick and will get you a good response, however my favorite is the Finney routine. If you want a serious peice of comedy magic for your show this is the best comedy cut and restored routine with a volunteer you will find. Highly recommended.

I liked most of the routines in this DVD and they were taught quite well, I especially liked Micheal Finney's routine, its extremely funny and although I dont't think I'd have the backbone to do it how he does it, there is still a lot I can do with it, he teaches it very well and I reckon if all I got out of this DVD was that routine I'd be happy.
The other routines and teachings weren't as good as Micheal Finneys but they still satisfied my desire to learn more about rope routines.
Overall I felt that I got my moneys worth on this one and its a good resource to own.

I liked the DVD the problem with it I thought was there should have been at least 3 more routine's with it as it was a tad short, but has some stuff I can use. Glad I bought it.
