Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
I got these a number of years
ago in VHS format, and though good this is really beginner material contained here. In fact, the
original selling point behind these DVDs is to be a source of material for the non-magician (i.e.,
businessmen, marketers, agents, party-makers, toastmasters, etc), to help them liven up the
situations they often find themselves in or be able to entertain people off the cuff. Originally,
this set was meant to help people build confidence and become more sociable. Therefore, this really
is meant for beginners.
That said, I was surprised to find a number of useful and effective
magic tricks and ideas contained in these DVDs. Believe it or not, there are some rare gems found
here that are very useful and entertaining.
For what the DVD's were originally made for,
the series hits the nail on the head. For someone with previous magic knowledge or looking for
substantial effects by magicians for magicians, this may not be for you.
