I was getting confused just watching the Tabary DVD of his rope act. The book helped tremendously.
It shows both sides (audience view/performer's view) of each step, in a
step-by-step-leaving-nothing-out way. Once I fully understood what was going on, I could then go
back to the DVD and work along with it. Tabary's idea of watching the DVD in a mirror is also
helpful for people like me (right/left challenged).
