Cost

$40.00 for the DVD


Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

It probably ranges from a 3-4...But he teaches them well.

Review

What can I say other than the DVD is incredible. I'm telling you guys, this DVD is a must-see. Sankey has such a way of teaching. He goes fairly quickly, but that is no problem at all. He teaches things thoroughly, leaving no stone unturned. He teaches you a lot, too.

He's also really funny. He keeps it lively by teaching in different voices...Dropping hilarious jokes and what-not.

The tricks on here are so well thought out. They are pure genius. But when he teaches them, they are Oh-So-Easy. They are well diversified...He teaches a sleight..then gives you one or two tricks involving that sleight, then continues with the same pattern.


Overall

Overall, if you are serious about your coin magic, GET THIS DVD NOW. It's just great. It's perfect. You've got a great teacher, great tricks, what more could you ask for?

Effects: 10/10
Quality: 10/10
Value For Money: 9/10 (forty dollars is a little steep...but it's worth it.)

I love this forum! Two different reviews of Sankey stuff that I wanted in 24 hours. I'm after a DVD to introduce me to coin magic properly (I already know a few sleights and I'm not totally inept so I'm not a coin newborn) and I think this might be it. How good were you at coin magic before you got this Dominick?

I was merely an amateur before I saw this...I mean I still am...But someone else might get better!

But seriously, he does a really nice job in teaching...So if you're interested, go for it.

Will do I think. I'm not holding out much hope for the transformation of my skills in the near future though, I'm sitting here reading posts and trying to muscle pass but it's not happening. Oh well give it another week....

I totaly agree Dominick the DVD is one of the best iv purchsed . He goes through many differtent slights and his coins across are AMAZING. you may think that these are the only good things but they are not, its packed full of great stuff. Get the DVD its worth it
