Would love to hear a little more about it.

Thanks,

Rob

i have it... but i havent really gotten to watch it in depth. i heard and saw a couple tricks are just stupid and not worth it, but the rest of the dvd has really strong stuff. more when i decide not to be lazy

Could you write a review on it? It looks excellent

I received this yesterday. The DVD gives you a number of routines involving glass (usually, the square pieces of glass that are bundled with the DVD in the deluxe package) and dry erase markers. Some of the routines are virtually useless, involving complicated setups and the use of stooges. Others are pretty good. Most of the good ones involve using the glass and markers, and the characteristics unique to that medium, to complement card tricks (with forced cards) or to do a dot matrix. As is evident from the video preview on Ellusionist, dry erase markers can be wiped off glass, leaving no trace. Adam Grace uses this principle and others to come up with a few clever routines. Overall, this isn't anything groundbreaking, but is probably worth the money for the sheer variety of routines and the fact that it adds something different - a new element - to your standard card and coin tricks. And you will need a non-black close up pad or a pool table to perform a number of these effects. Overall, 7/10.

THe preview lets you think its really cool
but if you watch the first 5 minuetes of the dvd youll understand the method
reall easy
and not for smart spectators

I'm going to have to agree with lumberjohn. Its a interesting Idea, but its not great stuff, the set ups can be a pain in the back side. Although it will be a good add on to your usual tricks. I give it a 6 out of 10, for the creativity .

It's one of cases where you think "hmm... what if I had a piece of glass and a boardmarker..." you mull it over for a while and then realise that what looked like it might have a lot of potential really goes nowhere special - and then you make DVD and release it on Ellusionist.com

I take it from the description its uncannily similar to Stained Glass by Adam Grace?
