Sincerely - the subtleties and new methods you will learn from Green would be easily worth the price, let alone the tricks and effects themselves.

I cannot recommend highly enough the 1st three parts... and I cannot wait to get my grubby mitts on Pt. 4,5 & 6.

I am waiting with baited eager anticipated breath.

Fantastic, I took advantage of the super video deal at emagictricks to get hold of vols 1,2 & 3 on video for just £30. I've watched vol 1 and the first two effects from vol 2 and I am delighted with my purchase. I particularly like the flashy false cuts from vol 1 and the odd one out type routine on vol 2 of which I have watched the routine but not the explanation, in fact, I'm off to watch it now....

Just spent today watching Vol6.
This really has the most magical card magic I've ever seen - just imagine cards appearing and disappearing right in front of your eyes, with no real cover.

And the bonus "Xirtam", a reverse matrix, is hilarious! The cards are placed under the coins and are completely hidden by them!

Mr Green's mind seems to inhabit a very strange world indeed....

when i watched Derren's D.P.B it took me ages to get through coz i kept pausing to try things (very unsucessfully to start). That why i kept my hands empy to get right through the whole thing. Being trying the top shot, tricky to get it right every time, probably another week and it should be just about there. I have officialy got C.U.P.S again!!!!!!!

I actually went and bought the last three volumes a while back after checking out some of Lennart's work on YouTube.

Phenomenal. The snap deal is an incredible application and his poker stuff is inspiring. Every time i see him perform i want to grab a deck and start practicing.
My imagination is also nowhere near as wild as his but it still makes me think outside the box a bit more.

I cant even scatter the cards like him, mine go all over the floor while Lennart's stay magically on the table.

MUST GET ALL VOLUMES!

Only a little.....you get used to it, and you'll hardly notice the accent when your concentrating on what he shows you. His sleight of hand is so mind blowingly convincing that you wont care about how he sounds.

Besides, im pretty sure there's another guy on the video series (the balding guy off "The Real Hustle") is there to help clarify, and sometimes explain what Lennart is saying when he's demonstrating the sleights.

As a Brit, he must know in the back of his mind, that most other Brits or Americans, will probably have a harder time understanding Lennart. So he sometimes chimes in with pointers of his own.....it kind of verifies what Lennart says, whilst at the same time, ensuring no-one watching at home gets confused.

I dont know if he's on Green magic 1-3 (they haven't arrived from the website I ordered them from yet) but he's on vol. 6 and 7 - so I just assumed he might be on all of them. I could be wrong there....so don't take that as the gospel truth. But one thing that IS true....you should probably only stick to buying volumes 1-6.....im afraid vol 7 (Green Lite) is a little disapointing.

Don't believe what it says on the advert about vol 7 containing the "Most baffling card trick ever invented"......THE EYE OF STONEHENGE! It sounds so dramatic doesn't it? The DVD claims that Lennart has used The Eye of Stonehenge to fool some of the greatest minds in magic - That's a bit of a bold statement to make considering the effect is, well, sh*t. No offense to Lennart, but whoever wrote the sales pitch for vol. 7 should have his head examined! The rest of the DVD is OK, just don't buy vol 7 on the strength of Lennarts reputation, combined with this amazing sounding card trick.

Don't waste £25 like I did, and just buy one of the other volumes in the Green Magic series (much more worth the money!). Anyway, a bit of a long winded post.....sorry about that....to answer your question - his accent is fine, you don't notice after a while.
