I've owned "Power of the Crystal" for a year or so, but have never used it yet. (Not that I don't like it, but I just don't have any opportunities.) It really is gratifyingly easy to do. Also easy to REMEMBER how to do, which is even more important. The plot flows nicely, is easy to follow, and builds up to a surprise ending.
The instructions are too verbose, but easy enough to follow. The instructional DVD is overkill, in my opinion, but I suppose if you prefer learning from DVDs then that's the instructions you'd automatically go for.
The "crystal" supplied is very plasticky, but it's easy and cheap enough to get a real crystal of some kind to substitute. I already had a chunk of rose quartz sitting in my desk drawer. Or you could use any sort of evocative charm if you prefer.
If I manage to make it to the Manchester meet-up this weekend, I'll be bringing it along.
