I have a collection of inexpensive Miser's Dream buckets and instructional DVDs (Capehart, Levent,
etc.) detailing this wonderful effect. But my amateur/hobbyist "style" -and with the limited time
that I have to practice- works best when I can find good entertaining routines that are also not too
complicated to perform. That's so I can focus on having fun with my audience- whether it be with
kids or adults.
This Miser's Dream DVD routine by Robert Baxt fits my criteria exactly for
the limited children's programs that I do. It is fun, uses an audience helper in a good way, and
virtually has no set up. I (hate to admit it) right now am learning the routine on the DVD exactly
the the same way Baxt does it, maybe add more more of my patter lines later.
I grade
products first and foremost on "useability"- this DVD is not exactly rocket science or the
historical masterpieces the Levent DVDs are. But it simply fits exactly for what I enjoy doing. A+
and thanks to Robert Baxt (a fine entertainer) for sharing one of his favorite routines with us all.
I have many DVDs that I have watched once and never watch again, this definately is not one of
those.
