for me, this editions highlights included the second part of Johnny Thompsons interview, where he tackled teh sticky area of coppyists, and television trickery. Its worth reading between the lines a bit here,during his comments on the Chris Angell series.
I get the feeling that since everybody was accusing the show of using camera tricks throughout the first series when they wernt, somebody may well of said, " well they think your using them, so go ahead.. use them".
jon armstrong, gave a meer overview on the DL.I would of preffered a bit more information on the "pick "technique he was demonstrating. This developed by gamblers, and so very clean.
Dean Dills interview, was different. Filmed in his barbers, ( he gives a mean haricut by the way) he laler moved into his magic shop, and performed his Triangle effect. this was followed by a demonstration of his tonight coin matrix, which also is explained later on in the dvd.
Simon Lovel, gave us more words of wisdom. he was cooking with gas.
and David regal, who appeared several times throughout the dvd, talked about his latest book, ( it looks great by the way) and performed several effects, one, "Exhibit a," Later explained.
All in all, another great volume.
