A nice routine, but not what I was expecting from the description. Since the description includes
"If you have ever wanted to learn the Spellbound move, Eaton's routine is the perfect place to
start" I expected a tutorial on the Spellbound move, something I have been looking for for some
time. Many moves are described in the routine, but very little about the one I was looking for.
Nothing against Eaton or his routine, just not what I was expecting in the download.

Very well taught! The instruction is excellent. It takes some practice, but this is NOT a knuckle
busting routine to learn. (Do give this superb piece of magic the practice thst it deserves before
performing.) What an extrordinary buy for the money! Worth much more!

I think Michael Eaton is an incredible sleight of hand artist and a great teacher. I love this
effect it is fantastic to watch. However, it is difficult to learn, not because of the sleights to
learn, but because of the very annoying background music playing in the background throughout the
instruction. Why in the world would a teaching video have background music playing in the
background??? Very annoying and hard to concentrate on learning. I was very excited to learn this
effect but found it very difficult to concentrate. This is the only reason I deducted 1 star.

What a great handling for the spellbound routine. I can say that there is one move that takes some
work to look natural but well work the practice.

Michael has taken some fairly basic moves and choreographed them into a very convincing and "What
the...?" compelling routine. The final move takes some work, but then again, it is worth it. It
won't make your fingers into pretzels. I've already put many hours into it, just because Michael's
timing is so worthwhile. Plus, I plan to actually use it. Watch the video. What you see is what
you get. Then get it.

There are some really interesting and visual ideas here to add to your own Spellbound
sequence/routine. I found some areas of this handling weren't for me (particularly the last phase),
but to each his own. Definately worth getting. Anything Michael puts out is great! His effect
"Splinter" is really worth a look as well!
and Eaton's teaching. Presented clearly, easy to follow. his cues for changes are like musical
instruction. four changes in the routine and a bonus production change.
Fabulous! loved the explanation and what a great close up walk around coin trick my hat is off to
Michael Great trick worth every dime I paid. I will be using this one.
Eaton is correct in saying that this is how spellbound should look. The video is done well.
Explanations are done well. Simple slight of hand. Practice this and you will have a no gimmick,
impromptu routine that looks like real magic.
This is a short download, but without a moment of wasted time. Michael's Spellbound is beautiful in
its simplicity and will become a centerpiece of my coin routine.
