Magic Tricks

Tedious. The video editor had art in mind. I wanted demo and instruction. You see it over and over but the edits and position of camera switches kept me continually trying to figure out if it was endless variation or the same thing.

It would have helped if it was presented in small sections. There is a lot of terminology for the different moves but since this is one of those irritating no-dialogue videos, no help there.

So, I watched it over and over until bafflement gave way to familiarity. It could have been communicated so much more effectively if communicating the "how" was truly the goal.

The whole thing lacks any stops or spreads to give it any dynamics. It just seems like packet juggling with no air.

So, I finally realized I didn't like it and wouldn't do it if I knew it.

Apart from that, though, I loved it and the price was about right.
