It came included in some other things I purchased, so I watched it, and I'm pretty impressed. It's
certainly a beginner DVD, but then that's what it was meant to be. I especially like the concept of
teaching Jessie to do the effects, as it's a good method of relaying the information to the type of
beginner for whom this DVD was meant.
If you're new, or know someone who is, I would
definitely recommend this DVD. I think of it as a video companion to most beginner magic books such
as Joshua Jay's "Magic". It would go well with that type of illustration.
I would have
given it 5 stars, except I tend to believe that beginner's should be subjected to a bit more
hard-hitting material than is usually included in beginner type literature and instruction. There
are some very strong effects out there that never make it into beginner instruction, even though
they are extremely simple to perform well.
