The Effect If you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This benchmark collection features just about all of magic's most enduring and classic effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for some of magic's classics. Linking rings, sponge balls, metal bending, cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing knives, and many, many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific DVD reference set. Each volume covers a specific subject and features new, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic.
Coins have always held a prominent place in magicians' repertoires but many have missed the wealth of magic potential in paper currency. As it turns out, the sheer variety of plots possible with paper money far exceeds what can be done with its metal counterparts.
On this volume, you'll discover a wide assortment of tricks, routines and stunts with paper money that is certain to amaze and amuse any audience. What's more, many of them can be done totally impromptu with nothing more than a borrowed bill or two.
You'll learn a stunning bill transposition that occurs right in the spectator's hand from Michael Ammar, torn and restored (and even burned and restored) bill routines from Jeff McBride, Dan Harlan and Tom Mullica, and topological miracles from Jay Sankey, Michael Close and Rober Neale. There's guaranteed spectator interest when you increase the denomination of bills, such as in Scotty York's routine, or even change plain paper into real money, as in Mark Leveridge's brilliant trick.

I love card magic, but needing to take a break, I had double majored in money. After watching this dvd, I will be adding a whole slew of effects to my reportoire. Every effect is easy to make, and because it's dealing with money, less likely to be continually questioned. It also makes with great comparison to Jay Nobelezada's Money dvd. You can see lots of variations on the same trick, and can choose the handling which suits you. My favorite so far would have to be Dan Harlan's now U Z it: a logical pen through bill, with no gaffs. if i learn one new idea, 4/5.
This dvd is a 6/5 from me.

My favorite WGM dvd
by Clay Skaggs from Kennewick, WA on 04/08/2010 08:47:56
I always enjoy the World's greatest magic series. You get to see a variety of takes on a limited theme, from a variety of performers. I love money magic. You can borrow an item that most people have and it has high value to them so it creates interest. All of the material on this dvd is usable. It comes in a range of super simple like Harlan's acrobaticlips to Close's rubiks bill which is a bit more challenging, but still not that difficult. This DVD has high value.

Some great ideas for me (mostly a card guy). I'm definetely going to use some of these in the restaurant, but there are some trick that really aren't that exciting. Favorite is Close's Rubix dollar, - really fooled me watching and great method.

Almost any effect on this DVD is worth the price you pay for this great piece of information. I have used several of these effect in my routine and they are all great. Some take a little time to get the hang of but well worth the time spent on perfecting them. You won't be sorry as is with most of the stuff in this series.
