The material is not bad. It was a slog of bet after bet, until my eyes glazed over. They are of
varying quality, usefulness, and practicality. What can be said is that there is a lot to choose
from. But what can be said is there is a lot that are not particularly interesting.
I have
mentioned before elsewhere, but ratings on Penguin need to be more discerning. So many mundane items
are given high scores. We all have a limited amount to spend (even if the limit is high), both
money, but perhaps more importantly time. We should want to know were are getting the best value.
In this case, if you want a laundry list of bar bets, then go for it. But if you want to
spend your time mire effectively, look elsewhere.
It is clearly listed as a bar bet lecture. I wanted to offer and teach something never done before on Penguin. Bar bets have value when used in the right way. I taught about 40 effects. I broke the record with my first lecture teaching 20 effects. I wanted to top myself. I think you viewed it with the wrong expectations. You did admit you learned some things and saw a lot. If you took away one thing you can use, then in my opinion it was money well spent. I suppose it's hard to please everyone.
Repetitive and a bit trite
