Many years back I bought the pamphlet-and-pictures version of this routine, and performed it in my
shows. Years later I bought the Expert Rope Magic DVDs, and was glad to see the explanations on the
DVD.
Much more recently I saw the Penguin Live lecture, and while he presented the routine
there as well, it didn't go into enough depth.
I just got this download. I felt silly
because I already had two good versions, and I already knew the routine.
After having
watched this through, I feel that the depth and teaching in this version was best of all. He went
into several little details that made a big difference. My only gripe is that the lighting could
have been better in the studio, but as a fan of the routine and of all things Daryl, this is the
best version.
