This is a fantastic DVD! Mark jenest is funny and entertaining. None of the material is all that
difficult. If you are willing to put in the effort you will be rewarded with a fantastic set of
tricks. Billoon is probably my favorite, followed by Classic Farce. The only complaint is the
demonstrating of effects that he markets that people may not have like Jiggernaut. I have this but
not No. 2 Pencil.
Otherwise, awesome.

This DVD rocks. There is low content as far as #of effects and even less if you dont own other
products by Jenest (more on that in a second). The quality is Great and the menus are easy. The
teaching quality is good and everything is well explained. Jenest is a good magician.. Billoon.
IMHO this is one of the greatest effects I have ever seen on a video. It can be done seemingly
impromptu to the audience and the little Preparation is WAY worth it. Its a bill in balloon effect
that will leave them picking up their jaws off the ground and scratching their heads in awe. The
built in Misdirection is phenomenal.

I actually own the VHS version but when I saw Penguin had it now I wanted to be the first to say
this is an Awesome DVD. I have long ditched my Johnson Hopping Halves for Mark's version. It's
simpler to the point and you don't have to worry about the tinny clinking of shells in your pocket.
The Chapstick Routine is fun and instantly resets. One of the main reasons I bought the tape is for
Billoon and it totally baffles people. Plus, you get to see his handling of Jiggernaut (IMO the
best walk around cups and balls routine) and some more moves for the #2 Pencil another must for
strollers. I will let you know that in order to do most of the effects you will have to invest in
some props, but for well under you'll have everything to do these routines over and over. And when
I say props I'm talking like balloons, a force deck, a sun and moon coin, english penny. Many of
you out there probably already have most of these. I even purchased the equipment for Jiggernaut
for around but in hindsight, I probably would buy the retail version to have printed instructions
as well as better fake olives than those that I made. Along with Carl Andrews 'No Jacket Required'
and Gregory Wilson's 'On the Spot' this is in my top 3 videos 100% useable material for strolling,
impromptu, and restaurant work!

thanks pm for letting me get this down load when the dvd did not work. this is a great dvd to learn
new tricks or review it again.
Over all this DVD is great. Although the explanations are a little short, and go by quick, if you
watch it 3 or 4 times you can catch what is done. Most of the tricks are very simple to learn and
can be done easily after a few practice runs. Some take practice, but are great effects.
The thing I don't like is that it is not stated that you need 2 special gimmicks for 2 of the
tricks. Pencil and Short hop. They are not included with the DVD. So be prepared to buy a couple
extra props when when you order.
this is one of those dvds, that you can leave your gimmicked cards and props at home and focus on
the magic itself. there are some great original tricks with chapstick, and my favorite was the bill
into the balloon. nothing special but a nice charming collection of tricks
This is really cool, also check out the number two pencil by Mark Jenest!
The material is perfect for strolling,restaurant and close up work. No pipe dreams, all A+ material!
