For the price I had to get the digital copy of this. I owned the VHS (And still do) however the VHS
is shotty now at best, that and I no longer have a DVR. I am really happy that Penguin decided to
offer this as a download.
I don't use it all, but I did use "Heavy-Weight Boxing" for
years back in 2002-2005, and to sound cliche, it's well worth the price of the download. It takes
quite a set-up, and when I first learned it years ago, I seriously doubted it would ever fool anyone
up close, but believe me this is not the case! I've performed it over that former time period a good
50+ times and has never once, failed to get gasps of excitement from layman, and just because of the
construction, it's best in Parlor situations where you have a few feet distance. However, don't let
that discourage, that fact is, as most card men understand, No one is paying any attention to the
card case, and when they start to, you've already completed the part that could give off the method.
I love all things by Greg, with the exception of the Coffee House series, not that it's no good,
just not my cup of tea (or coffee).
I do believe this is a stunning opener with any card
routine where you can pull this off, and like i mentioned before, it's not difficult to pull off at
all.
I love this video, and Greg's (sometimes quirky humor)
As for the other
effects, they are still a bit difficult to pull off, and will require a great deal of practice, but
Greg is a master at the art of performing, and he's a great teacher that never ceases to be clear.
Special Shout Out to the folks on the Penguin team for putting this one up in their Coolbox
specials, giving pole like me an opportunity to revisit this awesome show, filmed live performance
at the Magic Castle. and Greg Wilson's Instructional style that's funny, thorough & entertaining
itself!
