These DVDs really are great. I started out buying just the first one alone, then went on to separately purchase the other two volumes because I liked the first one so much. The routines on here are pretty damn cool and these coin routines are ones that I'll practice and keep in my repetoire for ever. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because of the fact that in order to do a majority of the routines you need to get gaff decks and gaff coins, specifically a flipper coin, an expanded shell, a red/blue backed deck, and some sticky tack. (I knew I need the flipper because that's obvious, but not all the other stuff.) It would also be wise to get some chinese coins. I really wish that before a customer purchases an item like this we would have some way of knowing the extent of the gaffs required so that we could a) not purchase the video because we can't offord a DVD plus a crapload of gaffs or b) buy the DVD and gaffs simultaneously so that when it came time to watch the freakin thing we could actually do the routines. If there's one thing I hate it's having to skip through a bunch of routines because I didn't know I needed extra stuff. I'm not complaining about the neccessity for the gaffs because the routines that encorporate them are stunning, I'm just saying...give us a hint!

There are some great tricks here and the tuition is fantastic. Be warned though, a lot of tricks on here use gimmicked coins so you will need to invest more money. That aside though, Troy teaches some of his very best magic and it's a pleasure to watch him perform.
