Unfortunately, this is not a good DVD. For example, there is a knife swallowing effect. The demonstration of the effect (not the explanation) has two parts. The first part is to cover the knife with both hands and demonstrate what he is about to do with the knife hidden behind both hands. The then places the knife on the table and says "Wait a minute, I need to add some salt." He sprinkles some salt on it, than apparently does the same moves, but this time, the knife apparently vanishes down his throat. Unfortunately, in the first part, it is clear he is holding a knife under his hands with his thumb (which he is). However, in the second part, it is clear he no longer is holding the knife as his thumbs are extended. Anyone watching this would clearly come to the conclusion he is no longer holding the knife, unless his hands are magnetic. It is really poor form. So, not only are the effects not strong ones, his form is very poor.
