When it comes to balloon twisting, there's no doubt that Joe Montella is good. He's a great performer, but an awful teacher. There are literally thousands of free tutorials on balloon twisting on youtube, and hundreds of sculptures that are better than the ones Joe teaches. His sculptures are nothing fancy but he does do them well and they are well liked sculptures. He also never once gives you any guidance on how much to inflate the balloons for each sculpture.
I bought the DVD solely for the business lessons that the description gave as well as the information on giant centerpiece sculptures. Neither of those two things are actually discussed at length in this DVD. Joe simply tells you to go out and market yourself (duh) and that giant sculptures take work and planning (duh).
Overall, I was sadly disappointed with this DVD. If I were a true beginner, this DVD would have some value, but again all the beginner information is available for free elsewhere on the net (i.e. youtube).
Save yourself some money and don't purchase this DVD unless you have $45 bucks that you can burn without consequence. You'd be better off buying supplies with that money and teaching yourself.
