I've bought (and viewed) hundreds of magic DVDs and have learned some of my strongest magic from
them. I can't begin to say how excellent Built to Last is. Great variety of material and very strong
magic, but what elevates this set to must-have status are Doug's performing style (which happens to
be exactly how I think most magic should be presented) and the wonderfully imaginative twists he's
developed for not just standard plots but even the subtleties. For instance, his coins-across-to-cup
makes it look like the cup is doing the magic and takes the heat off your hand. Genius. Trust me,
you'll be smiling in each case even before you get to the explanations.
Can't recommend
this highly enough. It is loaded with material that is original and, for me so far, as much fun to
perform as I imagine it is to watch. The methods are not difficult mechanically for the most part;
it's the naturalness Doug models that should inspire you to put in the practice and rehearsal time.
Also: Dough's theory section at the end is spot-on. Don't pass it by.
This is a must-have
