I didn't see any details on his site regarding shipping and handling (or P&P as most of the UK sites seem to have, postage and processing maybe?), is this expense included in the price listed on the site?
Anyone have experience buying it in the US? Is there a shipping fee for overseas or any taxes etc. I should be aware of?
Many thanks in advance.

I can't believe there are some people who are only just buying this!

It's now one month since I ordered this and I'm still waiting. Is this normal shipping time?
I remember someone writing that you shouldn't expect the delivery to be quick but I was expecting it by now.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

dat, I ordered mine on the 5th of this month and received it on the 20th. Shortly before it arrived, I emailed Coopy to enquire about the current lead time. Although I never received a response, I did get the DVD a couple of days later. Someone else I know also emailed him and also promptly received his DVD shortly afterwards. It might be a coincidence but I think it's worth contacting them with a friendly "I was just wondering when..." and give them a nudge.
It is
definitely worth the wait, make no mistake about that.

I just got mine in the mail and it was generally good shipping time. I got it because everyone spoke so highly of it and I have to say, wow. He is absolutely amazing. The only thing I can actually consider doing at this point is the Velvet Turnover, hahaha. I love that too though as I do the ambitious card routine a lot and I never liked doing the DL several times in a row so this actually helped me out! I can barely comprehend how he does all the sleights sooo smooth, truly amazing.

Wow, you've waited two months for this. It's worth it, though. You'll see. This is one of my most treasured DVDs.

watched it twice through. What really astounded me was his "Extreme Mental Effort"...i couldn't figure it out at all. As soon as he said the solution...ba da boom! the cheek of it!
I like the invisible deal, and invisible deal reverse force thing as well

That was my reaction as well, although my actual words were somewhat more 'earthy'.

I think it was at that point I realised what a clever bloke he really is. Up to then he was gradually growing on me as being a good performer but viewing DPB did it all for me and I'll be a life-long fan if only for the sheer brass nerve and cheek of some of his methods!

I loved that, too. It goes to show something that I'm only recently coming to terms with: That the most mindblowing effects in magic are more often than not the most simple.
