Got this on a bit of a whim, but it really was pretty good. I do not typically perform coin
routines, but some of these are real zingers and piqued my interest again.
My only
significant complaint is about the fact that he really tries hard to sell you on his previous work
(I think the Penguin title should probably mention this is at least the second in a series). I think
there must have been 4-5 direct references to look at material on his earlier one ("palms of steel
volume 1").
On the whole, the camera work was pretty good at giving you angles on
everything to make it approachable and things did not feel too rushed in general (especially with
the ability to rewind to check things out again).
Some might feel this did not go into
enough detail on some of the sleights, but for anyone with at least some exposure to coin magic it
was plenty. He definitely assumes you know some of the common terminology like "edge grip" and
"classic palm" as well as "fingertip rest" so probably not for you if that's new for you.
Nice coin routines, assumes some prior knowledge
