I was a bit sceptical at first when I obtained this set of DVD's. I did however become pleasently surprised with the material and found that each of the DVD's in the set obtained some very nice card tricks. I did find that there was a lack of engagment with the viewer by Gerry but this is a learning DVD series and once you get past that this is a good material. The other good news is that you do not have to use sevens in any one particular trick and you can mix and match to your own performance. Overall these are a good set of instructional DVD's. There are much worse out there we all have some.

Not all bad
by Graham from Atlanta, GA USA on 04/02/2010 23:44:39
These tricks while nothing special for an advanced magician, have the potential to be some real killers for beginner magicians. The teaching is rather boring(I'm sorry Gerry), but the tricks aren't too bad for beginners. So if your a beginner and have some money to spend you might want to consider this.

horrible
by Casey Garrison from Albuquerque, NM, USA on 01/02/2006 18:37:08
It almost hurt to watch these. The Magic is almost useless in most circumstances, though there are a few good ideas. But because of all the crud, the good ideas are very difficult to find. Gerry has a horrible presentation and does not do many of the sleights he uses that well. Many of the effects use duplicates and the majority do not end clean by far. There are plenty of items on Penguin which are better to spend money on. Do not buy this.
This dvd is only for begginers really.The effects are not impromptu and often require duplicate sevens.If you are a begginer maybe otherwise don't get it.
I would strongly recomend born to perform by Oz Pearlman for begginers.

How can anyone pull that off?
by Luke Hillis from Fairfield, Iowa on 12/05/2004 09:26:48
I would give this a 0 if the rating system allowed me to. This is the worst set of DVDs that has walked the face of the planet.
I don't see how anyone can make a 3 DVD set without a good routine. Everything is suspicious, has bad setup, or uses an extra set of 7s. Most of the effects leave these extra 7s in a place where if you tried to do another effect right after they would see the 7s. Also when you have the extra 7s in the deck is not examinable.
Also a whole lot of the magic on this tape uses gaffed cards. I'm not against gaffs, but it sure makes it hard to be impromptu. Also you have to get rid of the gaffs if you want to do other magic right after the gaffed card effect.
I would not perform 1 routine in this DVD because they all are bad in one way or another. What I suggest to everyone reading this review is to save your money and buy something good from magicians who are dedicated to the customer, like Oz Pearlman or Jay Sankey.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
