Review: When I first got this I did not know what to expect, but after 2 minutes of watching it I decided this was going to be a great DVD, the reason for this is the first thing u get taught is all the basic holds that I have been struggling with (by learning from written descriptions). Micheal Ammar teaches all of them really well. The introduction for the DVD before the holds and things was great he told you loads of tips of how to learn from the DVD. Later on after he has taught the holds he into some basic tricks, just using the holds that he just taught you. This is a thing I like about the way Ammar teaches in his DVD’s he will teach you like the sleights then show you exactly how to use them in tricks which I think is great. Next he goes into false transfers, which he teaches well. I was really pleased with this DVD. When he has shown you how to do tricks with them he gives you some good tips. He is a great teacher who gives credit to other magicians on every sleight. Unlike someone like Brad Christian who would say its his own or say he does not know who originated it. Later on in the DVD he teaches coin loads, steals and all sorts of other things. At the end he even gives you tips on performing like where to perform and things like that.
Overall: If I had to rate this DVD out of 10 I would give it 9/10 this is because I cannot find one thing that is wrong with it its just a great DVD. I am looking forward to your comments on this review and this DVD.
