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.
