Magic Tricks

I don't usually write reviews for 2 reasons :

- There are already a lots of reviews for the products that I bought at PM over the last 10 years and I don't think that my 2 cents would make a difference for future buyers.

- I sometines feel lazy when it comes to write in a foreign language (French being my mother tongue)

But today I'm making an exception because I can't believe there's no review for this wonderful release by Pipo Villanueva, a magician from Spain that I discovered a few weeks ago thanks to his wonderful Chop Cup routine.

I bought the download for the Chop Cup routine alone, but ended up being impressed by all 6 routines that he teaches. Three of them will go straight to my repertoire (Chop Cup, Silver/Copper/Brass Coin routine and a new take on Paul Harris' classic Reset). Pipo puts a lot of attention to details and passion in what he does. His teaching is easy to follow (however I wouldn't recommend it to beginners). I also appreciate the fact that most (if not all) of his routines end clean and are auto-resettable, which is perfect for walkaround or table hopping.

Pipo also gives a bunch of hints and advice that go well beyond the 6 routines that he teaches. I think that anyone here would become a better magician just by watching Pipo perform and listening to his way of thinking. Overall, the production quality is top notch. This download is undoubtly one of my Top 5 purchases that I've made over the last decade on Penguin Magic – and I'm so glad that I did!

On a side note, just to mention that I had to contact Pipo a few days after I bought the download. I had a question about the props that he uses in one of his routines and I got a timely response from him within 24 hours. That's great customer service!
