Worth it Just to see Dan try crazy things Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 26th, 2017
I really have no clue why anyone would not be subscribed to this Tarbell series if they are spending money on magic anyways.

No mater what kind of magic you do (even just standing around with friends) there is something to learn worth the money it costs for it. In this lesson, even just watching Dan preform his crazy underwater trick was worth it in my opinion. Tons of info and how to do modern cig magic without real cigs and handling in this lesson as well. Plus that table, although a work in progress and not feasible for everyone, was incredible to watch and learning the thought process behind it is great.

This Man is the bomb!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 16th, 2017
I freaking think that Dan Harlan is the best thing that has ever happened to magic.

Such a creative force. He takes these dusty tricks and shines them up and gifts them over to us. It is impressive. I lost my mind over Fu Manchu's Magic Microphone...I built it the night I watched this video. To be honest...I stopped watching as soon as I watched this trick and built it. I've been working on a romantic rose/heart piece and I was stuck. And Boom....it was missing this...

I mean: Dan...Freaking....Harlan...I love you!

After I made the mic (Back to the vid I went) His black art tray is wild and full of wonder. It would take some time to build this... but it is interesting to think about. I really enjoyed the mechanics of this one.

I learned so much from the cigarette/fry routines and even made something of my own out of an idea he presented here. (different) but sparked by his creativity.

*the smoking jacket* dug it!

Look...there is something here for you to learn. To get big bug eyed on.

Dan never fails to get the wheels turning...Thank you so freaking much. I can't wait to get this mic trick up and on youtube/as well as in my stage show...still got some practice to put in. But...I tell ya what...I am no longer stuck.

Thank ya to the moon and beyond...Dan Harlan.

You rock!!!

Good Mix Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 10th, 2017
Although it says stage magic, some of the effects could be easily performed in any setting and a couple can be done almost impromptu. Really enjoyed it. The cigarette routines are worth it alone. I use small hot rods when doing cigarette moves myself and then do a simple hot rod routine itself afterwards.

More stuff to stir your mind Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 31st, 2021
Well, Dan always give you so much more than you expect in each of these lessons. I'm sure many will never do any of the cigarette stuff, but how he constructed the devices is genius and could be used in other ways. To me, the killer ideas happened in the coin in wool. It was fantastic!! I could see someone using it in a large stage. And the ring in wool also gives you plenty to think about. Plus his inside info on make a good gimmick for a knife thru hand is priceless. Dan continues to be a wealth of knowledge.

Some solid but too many cigarettes Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 23rd, 2020
The coin and ring in wool yarn (two methods) is wroth the lesson. The turban effects are also nice, but repetitive with earlier lessons.

While it is certainly not Dan Harlan’s fault, and he does the best he can, the overwhelming amount of cigarette magic is just to much.

Great stuff, some of it seemed a bit fringe Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 13th, 2017
I loved Dan's take on the ball of wool as impossible location. The cigarette stuff was kind of outside my area of interest although I might study it further just for the sleights.

The underwater cigarette routine just felt indulgent though, highly unlikely that anyone is going to make use of that part, ingenious though it was.
