I am hard pressed to highly recommend this product. I'll admit this wasn't a complete waste of money, since there were some tricks that were interesting and ingenious.

The philosophy itself seems to be new itself. I don't understand why the philosophy couldn't have been expanded even more. Instead it is a four-five page booklet. If this was truly revolutionary why not make a book about it?

In addition, the camera work and cheesy techno music more than put me off.

Furthermore, some of the tricks were stupid gags. I don't so much see the some of the gags as effects (I refuse to call them bends), but more of filler material. Also, if you think that pencil trick has the full gimmick parts you are mistaken. If you look around reviews, you will know what I mean.

I truly find it hard to believe that people can justify spending their money on this. Given my opinion, this DVD was just a DVD that, although there were some gems, had a lot of filler material that can be found off the internet. There are better magic products you can buy with $35. This is not one of them.
