Historically interesting, but not in the same league as many tricks available today. Nothing here
that I would actually use.

As usual, these videos are great. The only thing that would make them better is to offer them on DVD
with a menu so you can jump to a particular trick you want to reference.

Engaging and covers a wide variety of magic. Clever alternative methods and presentations, not just
the classical/original. Well presented.

Just got through watching Dan show me some new items to add into my sets in addition to the "Paper
Balls Over The Head". I love that trick but everyone does it and I would like something new to do.
Now I have a couple of very good replacements in addition to...! I absolutely loved the Vanishing
Ring On String and the Penetrative Cigar Bands. These are two effects in Tarbell that Dan updated
and they are awesome. I remember every one of these effects from the book and they are all very
good teaching lessons because I noticed the gasps by people that have not read Tarbell before. The
principles involved are really good and coupled with other effects can make for a great set or
routine. The opening effects are great examples of this. They are rubber band effects. They would
be great warm up effects or lead-ins for your Rubber Band magic or Ring on Rope sets. Really nice
video with a lot of fun magic. Another home run Penguin! Great work Dan!

I started to go back to the beginning of Dan Harlan's excellent Tarbell series and I came across
this JEM. You could do a whole show with just these tricks!
Contains a lot of cut and restored items so of you are into that, a welcome addition to your
library.
Cool tricks, but definitely not impromptu.
Thank You Penguinmagic and Dan Harlan for another great lecture! For me, probably the first Tarbell
lecture, until now (ive got 15 of them), where I can use absolutely every single piece in real life.
Great job!
There's nothing I'm going to use in here, but I enjoyed watching it. Harlan improves on a number of
the Tarbell effects, including an excellent way to do the restored rope.
