Magic Tricks

I'm tempted to give this DVD a higher rating based simply on Alex's skill at performing the pass. He's absolutely amazing at this sleight, probably the only person I've ever seen do it better than Jason England. Watching him perform the pass is nothing short of astounding. However, I have to be honest, it's not exactly anything terribly special as far as the actual information goes.

Don't get me wrong, Alex does an excellent job, and if you don't already own two or three other videos outlining the pass, I would highly recommend this one. However, if you already have Jason England's pass instruction video, or any of the other highly touted videos, there's no real reason to spend more money on this one. You'd be better off just redoubling your efforts and practicing harder with the information you already have on the subject.

I will say that if isn't overly significant to you, and your pass isn't where you'd like it to be, you can't have too much information on such an integral sleight, so buy all means, get this DVD. It's got some great information in it ... it just doesn't really break a lot of new ground for more experienced pass mechanics.

Thank you for your take Alex, and overall I'm happy I bought this. I feel as though I spent to save myself a month or two of practice in perfecting the pass, which I consider to be a good investment.
