Magic Tricks

Let me begin this review by clearly saying that I am a big fan of Oscar Munoz. I have always enjoyed meeting him at lectures and conventions. Oscar has always been super kind to me and always willing to share.
With that said, I had no problem buying this DVD the second it came out - I was really looking forward to this release. However, I must be honest here and say that I was disappointed with this product. I wish I could have selected something different for he rating, but one is limited to two choices only. Since I could not give this a thumbs up, I have had to choose thumbs down. But, there are some things I liked here. The live show was filmed well, but the sound guy was not up to the task. More than once during the show the sound cues were messed up. I was also disappointed that the explanation section help back on some of the routines. The so called interview was mediocre at best. Take a lesson from the Bill Abbott interviews on his DVDs! Although I was not a big fan of some of the material in the show, especially the Strat-o-spheres for a family audience, Oscar does a nice job with the performance as he is obviously a real pro. I guess that is why I was surprised that this product was not better than this. I remain a big fan of Oscar's, but this could easily have been, and should have been, much better than it is. The cost is just too high for this DVD set.
