I got this as a cool box deal and am pleased with the material on the DVD. As always, there are
items that I won't use, but there were at least 4/5 strong effects with cards and coins that will be
going into my repetoire. The "haunted card" and "voodoo card" were pretty hard-hitting and visual.
I will probably use at least one of the coin effects and he does a good job of describing the
handling. One of the coin effects requires a gimmick which I'm not crazy about on these types of
DVDs. All in all, I am pretty pleased with my purchase.

I bought Nate Kranzo's visual voodoo from a another dealer a couple of years ago. I'll give you my
honest review in opes it will help you decide whether this DVD is for you.
The effects on
this DVD are not overly difficult to perform, but most do require a bit of practice, as most all
good magic does.
In all honesty, I do not like this DVD because the effects are so strong.
Actually, the various effects themselves really aren't mind blowing to watch. This may sound like I
don't like this DVD, but I do, and here's why.
Even if you don't use the actual effects and
routines exactly as taught on this DVD, there are still some crazy good techniques and tips that you
can use, and you will use, to add to other effects you already do. That, for me, is where the true
value of this DVD can be found.
So if you are a creative thinker, and a performer who
isn't afraid to experiement and add new visual elements to your current routines, this DVD just
might provide you with some great new additions to your act. For me, that was more than enough to
make this DVD a valuable addition to my magicial library.

This dvd is nice and the tricks are not hard but are good combos of visual moves that make them up.
Nate has some good coin tricks on his Dvds and I can't forget that card routine where a card is
dancing around. Overall, I really recommend this if you are even slightly interested.

Sorry, I found all of the instructions difficult to follow. Very disappointed in the whole set of
tricks. The only one that was doable was the straw in the cup and that wasn't so great either.

I received at a bargain price through Open Box auction. I found that the value of the material is
outstanding, even having studied magic for many years. In addition to details on various sleights
and technique, Nate performs the effects in a real world setting and his technique is impressive.
The only down-side is that the coin magic requires gimmicks (and with Todd Lassen's passing, some of
the gimmicks might be out of immediate reach), and some of the effects are not as strong as others.
I am amazed at Nate's encyclopedic knowledge. The teaching style is at times too fast, but the DVD
format presents the illusions at excellent angles.

This is vintage Kranzo and must be seen by all lovers of great magic.
Great card material
and a couple real workable coin effects. I only paid $5 for it, as was in the cool box. I’d easily
pay full price, having now seen/worked through the full project.
Nathan rules!

Just like my title, not to bad especially since I bought it on auction here dirt cheap. The coin
magic slieghts were something worth watching & learning. Just wish magicians on these videos would
teach more beginners type of moves rather than assume everyone should do it like a pro. Four stars
mostly for not great video quality.
