First, the bonus DVD has a short film by Jean-Luc.
It's ok but totally not within the scope of
magic.
No idea why it's there except to say "Hey I made a film
and you are going to watch
it".
For the main DVD, I find Jean-Luc's style of magic uncomfortable. He doesn't sound
relaxed. He almost mumbles
during his performance. I feel like (and I'm wrong) that he is not an
experienced performer. I wish I knew French so I could understand him when he performs in his native
language.
His guests seem to be watching out for something dangerous to happen to them.
They do not look relaxed and seem to
force their acceptance of his magic.
Perhaps it's
a culture thing. It took me a while to get used
to David Stone's DVDs that Jean-Luc created.
The illusions are ok. Jean-Luc said that this magic is easy and you don't need much than a
basic skill set to perform.
Totally not true. You need special decks, stooges, the confidence to
pour water onto your patron's table (not possible in a restaurant in the us. The manager would kill
you), smash a glass (again not good for US restaurants) and so on.
I'm glad I bought this
so I can see another respected performer. However, I don't think the DVD lived up to the
hype.

It's ok.
