I got this set at a magic convention, and even after having over 50 of Sankey's DVDs, this is still
a welcome addition to my collection.
Disclaimer:
If you don't have ANY Sankey
material, this is probably THE best introduction to his work that you could ask for. Pick this up
RIGHT now if you don't have Sankey material; however, if you do, keep reading.
Keep in
mind, there is going to be SOME overlap you will notice IF you have a lot of other Sankey products
(as it is a GREATEST hits, culled from all of his material). However, there are still redeeming
qualities about this set that makes it a good deal.
This is the third volume of the AMAZING
set. I LOVE this one more than the other two, and THEY are great. That's saying something! Below are
the best things on this DVD.
-Fiery Reunion:
I have seen this before on other
DVDs, but never for a live audience (albeit L&L). You really get to see the flow, and this is a
GREAT, practical effect.
-Ouch!:
This is SUCH a visual thing. Even though I knew
EXACTLY how it worked, it still fooled me the first time. GREAT effect.
-SlipStream:
This fooled the CRAP out of me the first time I saw it. This is a SUPER clever effect that isn't
hard to do. This effect REALLY blurs the line between material and immaterial and reality.
-@#X! (Paperclipped):
Yeah, this is really what sells this DVD. Other DVDs cost 25
dollars to just LEARN this effect. Learn it in detail HERE for NOT that much more.
-Leaving
Home:
Another effect that sells separately for 20 bucks but is on here for 30 bucks and
TONS of other effects.
Those are the highlights of volume three, but I mean, ALL of
these items are fantastic, usable tricks.
The thing that REALLY makes this set worth the
money you pay for it however is the format. You get to see Sankey, virtually uncut, doing all of his
signature tricks. This really allows you to feel a "Sankey" show without having to see him live.
This is invaluable to the Sankey fan.
HIGHLY recommended!
