Not sure what all the positive reviews are for. I bought this for my 6 year old daughter based on
these reviews and I’m really disappointed. Not only are the tricks mostly stuff you learn on a
playground he doesn’t really give a kid any way to present it other than “look what I can do, I’m
smarter than you.” Which having now seen more of Gary’s stuff isn’t surprising because that seems
to be the way he performs.
Also when he is in the studio with the young lady he comes off
as the uncle that is paying attention to his niece for the wrong reasons. He was surprised when she
knew how to do some of the tricks like she was supposed to be there as eye candy only and couldn’t
possibly be intelligent. She also appears uncomfortable and I don’t blame her. I kept waiting for
him to try to goose her.
Overall really disappointed and felt cringy for a bunch of
reasons the whole time. He is a magician who time has left behind and he has not aged well.
In my opinion don’t buy.

Hey there!
I had the luck and pleasure to get this for free (through download) and I
totally recomend this DVD for beginners and non beginners!
It goes from amateur to advanced
moves and tricks.
It also has a lot of '' chapters '' , chapters about each kind of trick,
chapters about magic itself, and even Gary's personal opinion about magic!
If you are into
magic for only 1 week, 1 day, one month or whatever, I would highly recomend you to get this DVD! If
you're not (like me), just get it too! xD
Really really good DVD, get it! :) Thank you
Penguin Magic and Gary Darwin's awesome job !!! :D
(PS: Excuse me for my bad English)

There are some decent effects for beginners on this one, but the layout of the DVD is a little
tricky (maybe not as user friendly as I’d like). You also get the “creepy old man” vibe as Gary
interacts with his pretty, young, assistant.

I do not normally get DVD's, but my grand daughter wants to learn magic! This DVD (by one of my
mentors) fit the bill perfectly!
