Magic Tricks

It's a great concept that I'll likely try out. So, I don't feel ripped off.

But, everything taught about "Technique" on this DVD could be taught in a small paragraph. Actually, a single sentence. The most important part being the subtle conditioning of the spectator, but this would be a part of that single sentence.

The ONLY thing this DVD should have contained other than a brief demo and a brief lesson is a series of practice sessions. They filmed live performances, why not show them in full from the performer's POV without any reveal? So we as viewers could try out Technique? Why not just sit in front of the camera and do a series of examples? He did this only once!

Again, the idea is fine. The teaching was fine, but it's an incredibly simple concept to grasp. The DVD was just another one of the many over-produced, self-indulgent videos on the market, where they were desperate to find a way to turn a simply concept into a full video.

Without a lengthy practice session, there is no reason for this DVD to exist.

So, I'm torn. It's a good idea, and worth the small price they're asking. But it's so poorly executed that I feel guilty suggesting you help support the creation of any more poorly put together "lessons".
