The thing to remember here is that Dan has taken on a monumental task of going through "every trick
in the book". That stands to reason that some of it will be better than others, and some of them
just won't be relevant. I like to think of this lesson more as a historical reference.
Dan
does his best to try to make the material as relevant and modern as possible. I appreciate his DIY
builds of some of the props needed for the routines. He does a a good job explaining most things,
but some things could use a bit more attention to detail.
What I didn't like was that the
only redeeming part of the last effect (which Dan himself admits is stupid) being the untying knot,
Dan leaves presumably for the next lecture. Given the underwhelming effects in this lesson, I
highly doubt I will purchase the next lecture. It would have been nice to have at least come away
with that little effect.
Not a whole lot to get from this lesson, but still worth the
watch. There are some little nuggets, but you really have to dig deep to find them.
