I totally agree with Chris, if anyone dares not rate this series with 5 Stars, then you very
obviously do not appreciate the Art & History of Magic.
Magical History was made with
this recording. While I don't have the complete set just yet ( I think I lack 3 more), I am so
grateful to The Professor, Dai Vernon for agreeing to do this recording so that his wealth of
knowledge could be passed down to future generations of Serious Magicians.
I've just
recently learned that Steve Freeman regrets making this series, which in a way shocked me, but I
also do understand. Magic Secrets are no longer guarded the way they were in (The Professor), Mr.
Vernon's day.
Youtube is just full of kids & even some adults (who think they are
magicians) freely exposing 'others' material. How dare they! Create you 'own' and expose that! If
you can't create your own to expose, then take up knitting or crochet.
My only complaint
about this Historical Series, starting in magic myself in the mid 60's, is that the price for this
Classic Work should have been set MUCH higher, so only SERIOUS MAGICIANS, who truly appreciate our
ART would pick up a copy. With the rather low price, unfortunately 'kids' and those who really have
NO respect for Magic will pick this up, just to upload it to Youtube.
In my opinion, the
price on this Complete Series should have been around 1000.00, or even higher. IS It worth
that....ABSOLUTELY! History was made...The Professor, Dai Vernon was taped. Deep Secrets were
shared.
The Art of Magic is shared far too freely, with so much exposed to people with NO
interest. There is so much wealth shared on this Revelation Series with The Professor, Michael
Ammar, Steve Freeman & Gary Ouelet.
While we have lost Dai Vernon & Gary Ouelet, apparently
Steve still does attend 'some' conventions, and still has Awesome chops, however, I read on the
Magic Cafe he remains very quiet in the magic community. Michael as we all know remains Very active.
THANK YOU to all of these gentlemen for making this possible & available to those who do
Appreciate the True Art & History of Magic. I am Privileged to have this in my library.
If
you LOVE & RESPECT Magic, get a copy TODAY, and you'll see what I mean. 100+ Stars from me on this
one.
Sorry but you are wrong no kids are gong to buy this set for $200 they download free magic tricks from pirated sites and today's kids would never have the attention span for a DVD set this big. I never seen anything on YouTube regarding these, and even it they were only magicians would see it anyway. $1,000 is a ludicrous price and most professionals including myself would never pay that for a DVD set, less that $200 keeps most who are not serioius from buying them already.
