Amazing teachiing video. It gives you the details of putting on a professional show (without having to necessarily invest a lot of dollars into the act). Jeff not only shows tricks but style and flash and all the things that can make a show spectacular. A must for budding magicians and pros alike. For the beginner it offers all the components of presenting a masterful exhibition. For the seasoned magician, it's always interesting to see the workings of another individual and perhaps gain new insight from your professioal peers.
