I have to offer a differing opinion regarding this tape after reading Bizzaro's post. I actually liked it.
Admitedly, it is not intended for main stream magicians. The tricks are simplistic and pretty basic. But isn't that a pre-requesite for a beginners magic video? Any idiot CAN do these tricks, and I suspect that's why they titled it "Magic 4 Morons."
I think the video has more production value than just about anything that I stock for amatuer magicians. The makers obviously threw a lot of money into this project and it shows! I thought that the police academy guy was hilarious and provided a lot of comic relief between the tricks.
Kind of in the same way the Windows For Dummies books helps the computer novice learn about computers, I think that Magic 4 Morons will be a great starting point for the budding young magician or adult for that matter who has an interest in magic. As a dealer, I recommend it!
