Andrew Mayne is a great magician but this might not be the best one to get. I know the demo looks really cool, but yea some of the effects are ridiculous. I'd recommend pencil through cheeck and stabbed are pretty much the only ones that work. Others are just throwaways. Personally I'd save your money and spend it on something else.

Wonderful Magic

This is a really great dvd with some pretty stunning tricks. A lot of them are completely impromptu and easy to do but the effect is still great on them. Mayne explains them well, including all the subtleties you need and how to set others up. Its a great list of tricks that are a wonderful addition to your arsenal and it is great for beginners or experienced magicians. This is a must!

I got this just yesterday and have watched the video multiple times. It is great. What I love about Andrew mayne is all his ideas/tricks are cheap, clever, and gets them almost everytime. He's also funny and makes his video entertaining. He's pretty good at explaning unlike some. The great thing about this DVD is that there's a little bit of everything: street magic,stage,parlor, or just hanging out with friends/family. I recommend it 100%. There are a few cheesy one's, but the good out does the bad. Get it.

In my opinion, this DVD wasn't worth it. Most of the effects on it were just to take up space.
Lit is the worst effect I have ever seen. It isn't a real trick, a 5 year old could figure it out.
Take out is terrible too. You can't do it, since its only done with a special prop that he has.
Pencil through cheek isn't very good either. It's pretty hard to make it look real
The good effects I saw were :
spiked through tounge part 1
Stabbed
Bob Roach
Bowling(although most people think they know how it's done)
Those are the good ones. If you think those are worth it, then get the DVD, if not, save your money. Although this teaches needle through arm (stabbed), I still bought the Harry Anderson version.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
