How to review this lecture without sounding critical is tough. I was really looking forward to
learning more about Bill Montana and his methods.
First Mr Montana hid in the shadows and
it was hard to follow along. He jumped around so fast and did not discuss the fine points of what
he was doing - Dan did a good job of trying to fill in the missing pieces. Many of the effects
required purchasing a PDF or special prop. Overall the lecture came across as un-rehearsed and
meandered all over the place. It is obvious Mr Montana knows what he is talking about unfortunately
he is not a good at lecturing.
Are there usable techniques or effects - Yes. You really
have to pay attention and watch a couple of times. Unfortunately his explanations are so short and
incomplete a beginner will be completely lost.
Overall I rate this a 3 star because I did
learn something though at times this was painful to watch. Allot of dead time - for example Mr
Montana was very generous in giving out gifts to the audience members but this took allot of time.
