I think one thing that should say a lot about this DVD, is that it almost put me to sleep. I watched a little, and it was just so boring and so bad that I stopped. I didn't find th teaching really that good. And not to mention the shell. He doesn't even use the same shell in the DVD. He uses one that's much nicer and has a better tone to it. This one is literally stamped illuminum. You will get coin after coin stuck in it, and god forbid you drop it or sit on it. THat sucker is gone. Nothing you can do. It's just that bad. I don't recommend this to ANYBODY

My shell was not expanded and needless to say I lost a good half dollar by putting the shell over it. Also the routines on the DVD were inferior Troy. They were elementary and tricks that he would never perform before a real audience.

If you want to be good at coin magic, Troy Hooser must be one of your teachers. He has a lot of great moves and routines you don't find elsewhere.
Also, if you use the included shell as one to carry around and not have to worry about, this DVD is a steal. Yes, we all get a better shell, but if you use this right, nobody will detect it. THIS DVD AND SHELL ARE A STEAL FOR PEOPLE PROGRESSING IN COIN MAGIC.

The coins across routine puts tears of joy in my eyes, Bam! Added included gimmick joy, Bam!

Very happy with this purchase!
The DVD is in a beautiful case. Very nice quality.
The filming is older, may be from a VHS but quality
is still very high.
The information is invaluable, rather your brand
NEW or a seasoned Magician. This DVD is AWESOME!

*INCLUDES A SHELL... the shell is very shiny, so
if you have silver coins it may be great. If your
using just standard half dollar peaces its so so.

Go buy a nice expanded shell and get to it!
