Does anybody own this?

http://www.ellusionist.com/order/Mullica-Impromptu-Magic.htm

It seems amzing, and great value at $69.00 (£36.80) + shipping.

I don't seem to be able to find it for sale in the UK, anyone know anywhere?

Shall i buy it, he's got a great style.

Ayup. I got the three of these just recently but have only had time to watch the first one so far.

First impression is only fair, very nice to see such a talented performer but there is very little exciting or baffling material in there IMHO.

I'll try and remember to post a follow up when I have had the chance to view them all properly.

It's great.
I would say that more then 90% of the material there is very practical and you will be performing it the first party you go to after you watch this.
It's great for parties and pubs/bars, and tom teaches very well with great humor.

If you are looking for jaw droppers you probably won't find too many there, but believe me there is more then enough there to do a nice small amusing show in parties or in bars that will leave very good impression of you.

Worth every penny in my opinion.

Ok, thanks guys...

Did you have to order them from america?

Ground control to majortom.

I guess those replies didn't really help you did they.... one guy thinks it's great, another thinks it's mediocre! Ah well, maybe I'm just an old cynic!!

Got mine from World of Magic:

Majortom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door...

hold on sorry...

I've ordered vol 2, to see if i like them, cheers though

I've just watched vol 2 & would be really interested to hear what you think when you get it.

I thought the cut & restored hank was a bit of a let down, certainly not something I'll be able to use... You'll understand when you see it!

Shame.....i liked the look of that

Anyways I'm expecting it today of tomorrow, so i'll write a review when i get it.

There are some good ideas on these DVDs, but I think the tricks / jokes are getting old... Although they suit Mullica's style.
He's a great magician, though...

Did you get it, majortom? Just wondering what you thought??

Almost completely irrelevant - I love Tom Mullica - He has got a fantastic style and I relate very well to his sense of humour!!
I find myself using parts of his routines in mine!!

Yes Pudding, i just bought volume 2 after reading the tricks list, it sounded like the best.

As you quite rightly said earlier in this thread "there is very little exciting or baffling material in there", although the DVD is a good watch because of the music, and Mullica himself is a very likeable, watchable chap.

And as you said also, the cut and restored hank is criminally disappointing which looked one of the highlights of the video demo.

BUT There are a few tricks on there that i have performed for people whilst out in bars, that have gone down very well, The torn and restored bill is great although it's not clean at the end (you know what i mean), pencil through hank is ok, and torn and restored rizla paper.

I see what you mean though, most of them are more like 'party tricks' than magic tricks, but i do not regret buying it.

What are volumes 1 and 3 like?

Pretty much like volume 2!

More of the same really... some stuff that just makes you think 'I could never get away with doing this?', but occasionally there are some fairly usable, if lightweight, bar tricks and gags.

Nothing else quite as naughty as the Cut and ... er... 'Restored' hank though!
