Most of the effects presented here are strong and worth the price of the DVD, but you need to have a strong stomach to WATCH it because the camera operator understands nothing about handling a camera and even less about sound (keeps bumping the microphone like an idiot, and the levels are way down throughout the 50 minutes). In fact, the overall production quality is atrocious. Still, as the purpose for owning an instructional magic DVD is effectiveness in magic, I recommend its purchase. But...yuck! Tell you what, guys, the next time you make a DVD, I'll let my pet monkey produce it for you and won't charge you a farthing.
