This video is great it's a great price as well.And unlike Jay's revolutionary coin magic video this goes slower he spends more time on most of the tricks.I am not a "beginner" like one who only buys gimmicks but this had things i did not know and some great tricks i especially liked the matrix routine great alternative to a gaffed matrix routine i.e. impossible matrix.It may semm like it sounds a little short but it packs lots of information in almost everything on this tape is inpromptu mabe 2 or 3 aren't.Also the melting rubberbands is a great little trick another is acrobatic aces.My advice is go call penguin , order this, get it in the mail, grab a pack of cards , coins, rubberbands, and popcorn Then go shove that tape in the vcr and watch and learn my friends it is truly sankadelic. ~Roboboy
