GUYS THE INSTRUCTION IS CLEAR AND THE EFECTS ARE COOL AND WELL EXPLAINED...BUT...
THE
MAIN REASON I GAVE 1 STAR IS THE FOLLOWING''
I WAS EXPECTING A BOX THAT COULD FIT ONE
DOLLAR SIZE COINS (AS I ALREADY OWN OKITO BOX AND SLOT OKITO BOX FOR HALFS), THE ONE THAT CAME IN MY
PACKAGE FIST HALF DOLLAR..
JUST BE AWARE THAT THE BOX FITS HALF DOLLAR SIZE COIN AND NOT
DOLLAR SIZE COINS AS SHOWN IN THE TRAILER.. :(

Oooh boy I love this routine...
This is my 4th instruction video into Okito boxes, and it
definetely is still a great addition to my quiver.
Honestly, this is the kind of video that
you enjoy even more when you know how it's done than when looking at the trailer. It's clever,
refreshing, beautiful, and mind sparkling. Some of the moves will require hard practice, but darn it
will be worth it. I find the way Sinbad moves is inspiring, it has a little touch of new to this
kind of things.
There is a bit of discrepancy between what is thaught and what you get.
The whole thing is done with full dollars, and the box you receive is for half dollars. And a couple
of the moves are clearly easier with full dollars. Before getting it I was wondering which size it
would be, since it isn't mentioned anywhere. I would have hope a full dollar like in the trailer
because I don't own that size already. But I'm still happy with the one received, since I was
looking for something else than my Buddha Okito which is pretty tight. The box you get is different
than the one in the video, it is more sturdy and seems better quality too. It has the Lost Art logo
inside the lid, it's heavy, gold in color, and can accomodate coins a bit larger than the half
dollar. Which is great!
Besides that, the visual and sound in the video are high quality
too. Having seen a lot of other videos were performers having a hard time expressing themselves in
English were just super harsh to listen to and comprehend. Or worst presenting videos without any
verbal explanations with just a single song loop playing for 30 minutes and driving you crazy.
Sometimes even without any subtitles at all... This is far from being the case here. Sinbad
expresses himself pretty decently, and Eric Jones is there just to make sure everything is crystal
clear and his comments and questions are always highly pertinent. You get 70 minutes of video with
multiple camera angles and no details are left aside.
Seriously, a damn good job overall!
Really, that teaching with that Okito box for that price, it's a steal!
The box alone would
almost be worth it.

While I have felt other boxes, this is the first time I've watched routines using an okito box.
Nonetheless, Max's box is top notch in terms of quality. The material is solid and has some nice
weight to it. The small discrepancy that some pointed out is that this is infact meant for half
dollar sized coins, not dollar sized like in the video. In terms of routines taught, they are fairly
intermediate but can be done with practice. I'd suggest being familiar with basic coin sleights
though. Overall, I feel that the video was well shot with good angles and sound. Definitely worth
picking up! Its the little subtleties and finer details that make Max's routines so well though out.
