The stuff in this dvd is genius, and easy to do.
Unless you can't do a little sleight of
hand, most of the stuff here you should be able to do right after you pull it out. The tricks are
strong, but one really needs you to have a friend to help you practice. At least two of these tricks
have gone into my repertoire.
The only thing that bothered me (and made it lose a star) is
the fact that a specific move is not looked into great detail on the dvd, and they expect you to go
to theory11 and purchase the move for more money on their website.
That, and they didn't
warn me that this dvd was only a preview of the tricks of the DG projects 4,5,6.
I don't
want to have to pay for the same tricks again!

I think 30 bucks was a little much for this dvd, especially since timeline and jacobs ladder are the
only impromptu routines i use. but having said that, the tricks on this dvd are outstanding and will
leave your audience stunned.

Well produced and well taught with great effects.
Unfortuantely I can only give it 4 out of 5 as
while Jacob's Ladder looks great it is no good in Australia!
I doesn't have anything to do with
the Southern Hemisphere and magnetic effcts but the issue is that we have plastic bank notes and it
just doesn't work.
Look forward to presenting the other effects though.

This has some great effects. With enough practice you have several great tricks on this DVD. The
only one that I didn't really like is the credit card routine. To me that one was a little hokey.
But the rest, I really enjoyed. Granted, some of them you'll have a hard time practicing by yourself
because it requires a 2nd person to hold the bands. So either get a willing assistant or create a
make sure rubber band holder out of a shoe box, rubber bands and creativity.
.44 and
Jacobs ladder are probably my favorites on the DVD. Those are just a lot of fun. Jacobs ladder is
pure eye candy. The melting effect of the bill through the band is just unbelievable! The reactions
you can get with just these two effects are worth the DVD itself.

I absolutely love this DVD! It has some of the coolest effects I've seen in a long time and most of
them are easy to perform and hit hard.

I'm a big fan of Daniel's magic, and this DVD didn't disappoint! He's got a way of developing great
impromptu effects which produce magical effects. Although nothing on here will blow your audiences
away, all of the effects are worth knowing and having available!

Danny at his best, this DVD is packed with fun, easy to learn routines that you will want to add to
your repertoire. This is stuff you can do on the fly using ordinary objects when someone asks you
to show them what you got.
The quality of the DVD is excellent. Daniel goes over some
performances multiple times and in different angles. The DVD also shows you variations not covered
in the trailer, so if you should perform the same trick twice, the unexpected twist catches them
again with added surprise.
I hesitated getting this DVD at first fearing that it would
require difficult moves, but to my surprise, there were no hard moves at all, even for a beginner.
Each routine is powerful, and I would have gladly dished out the money even for one of
them, I think that they're that good. I have to say that Symphony is one of the best DVDs I've ever
purchased. Great work Daniel!

I got the DVD in the mail 2 days ago and practiced Jacob's Ladder like mad. I performed it for my
g/f (who's my guinea pig for trying tricks) the next morning and it blew her mind the very first
time.
This trick is so strong and visual, it's amazing. I am really impressed with Void
also and will be practicing it a lot also.
I'll be making a wooden dowel rig to hold the
rubber band for practicing Jacob's Ladder and a gripper to practice phase 3 of Void.
Timeline 2.0 and .44 seem like they'd go over pretty good also, I'm going to have to give them a
try.
Visa looks kind of cheesy, but DG even says in the DVD that it's not a standalone
knockout trick.

An amazing DVD with T11|Ellusionist Quality. Danny is the best teacher for street magic. He knows
what works for a trick and what doesn't.
VOID
For the first time, Daniel outlines
the full version of VOID - This is a trick to cherish. It's an impromptu penetration. Enjoy guys
this with blow some minds and crack some skulls. Just watch your angles.
VISA
Danny's take one the magnetic coins but with cards. I really appreciate this effect is looks
beautiful and with the right practice and movements you have a amazing effect.
TIMELINE
2.0
The card work behind this is fantastic and uses a really knacky move. Take your time
and practice because this one seems like a camera trick.
.44
A great deceptive method
for switching 4 kings and 4 aces. Something I will use when somebody hands me a deck and says do
something!
JACOB'S LADDER
The finale. This is something to do right before Stairway from 5.
It's 2 phased and looks impossible. Uses little misdirection and is easy to boot.
These
are practical tricks. They aren't out of the box and require practice and care.

Everything is good about the DVD:
Daniel Garcia is funny to see.
Great Explanations
IMPROMPTU effects
Live Performances of Timeline 2.0, .44, Jacobs Ladder
The Price is
Fair.
Except: not all effects have been performed in the public.
(The Void and
Visa).
Note: If You Like Jacobs Ladder (and the other effects in the DVD) Then you will
like the DVD FIVE by Daniel Garcia & Marcus Eddie too.
