Magic Tricks

Let me say right up front that I've read many reviews of Dominique's products over the years. The reviewers almost always says a very similar statement in one form or another: "Dominique Duvivier's magic is not for everyone." I happen to be one of the ones that loves his magic, his creativity and his personality.

That said, I have to admit right up front that this isn't one of my favorite of Dominique's dvd sets; in my opinion, that would be his 4 volume "From Old to New" series. This is, however, another set of strong pieces and ideas from Dominique. My favorites at the moment are "Happy Hands", "The Fingerprint", and 'Fruit d'Or' (aka, ‘Wild Card’).

Now, I do have one criticism. At least one of the effects on here needs specially gimmicked cards, or in one case, and entirely gimmicked deck. In either case, the gimmick is not included in the dvd, nor does it seem to be available from Dominique's shop. It would be nice if that were the case; however, being an American, it's unlikely that I'd spend so much for shipping on one deck of cards.

That aside, I do like this set and will continue purchasing Dominique's materials. Recommended, but "not for everyone."
