REEL MAGIC - PAUL HARRIS

Postby dat8962 » Jul 22nd, '07, 14:10



I don;t know if there is already a review but I've used the search function as well as looking through the electronic media reviews section without success. So here goes.

The Effect

This is a quarterly video magiazine with issue one having just been released. Next issue is due in October 2007.

Cost

Having looked around on the web there are a few dealers selling this on an issue by issue basis for around £8 per iussue. However, Mike is selling his through a postal subscription at £20 per year (£5 an issue if you're not up to GCSE level maths :lol: ) and I think that it's post free.

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

Various

Review

I picked this up yesterday whilst in the Studio. There is a variety of different content including reviews, teach in sessions, interviews and reviews. In addition to Paul, there are also some well known contributors so over all it appears to be a bargain for the 120 minutes running time.

I haven't watched all of mine yet but what I have viewed has been well worth the money.

Overall

Let's face it, you can't get much for a fiver these days let alone two hours of entertainment and learning and you have something that you can play many times over.

This has to be the BIGGEST BARGAIN in MAGIC!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the first one, & look forward to the next (in OCT!)

Best Magical Wishes

I've just ordered this from Mr danata so I await with anticipation. At £5 an issue you can hardly go wrong in my reckoning

Just subscribed - the offer of a year's-worth of this kind of material for a measley £20 (post-free too!) was just too good to pass up on :twisted:

And - blummin heck! Doesn't Mike get back to you fast!! :D

Reel Magic is superb, you really can't get better value. Tricks explained are a good bill switch variation by John Lovick, Paul Potassy's bill in potato handling, and Dan Tong's working chop-cup routine not to mention the interviews with Paul Harris and Harry Lorayne plus David Regal reviewing several current effects. There's ads in there too obviously but it's much better value than an ordinary mag.

Highly recommended.
