I have bought a number of Harlan's DVDs and VHS tapes in the past and found them to be very
informative BUT THIS ONE is the worst presentation and the most amateurish camera work I've seen of
all the 100s of tapes and discs I've perchased from numerous magic dealers. It was
shot in a
darkened and very dimly lit auditorium, while Harlan, was wearing black pants and a black shirt,
sitting back too far from the camera among dark colored theater seats, and was very difficult to see
well.
Rows of empty seats in the background and to the sides took up way too much space.
Often the steps were presented while his arm was in the way.
There were no very closeup
shots which could have been useful for a better visual presentation, and, Harlan talked too much
again.
I'm sorry I purchased this instant download and I'll be very wary of future Harlan
offerings.
Shame on you Dan for the shoddy work and I'm surprised that Penguin Magic doesn't
have quality control previewing before items are offered for sale.
