PROS
This is a collection of really good effect, card and coin. The card routines are very strong, with no gimmicks. The coin routines are also very strong, mostly no gimmicks. Imagine that! Strong card and coin magic without gimmicks! The one coin routine with a gimmick, cap and pence, is going right into my set!
This is such a wonderful opportunity, given Wayne’s limitations due to MS, to see some of his early work on his TV show, and then see the explanation by talented magician Mike Sullivan.
One of the best parts of this DVD is seeing the entertainment talent of Wayne. There is SO much to be learned from watching a talented entertainer at work! Wayne doesn’t merely do magic tricks, he masterfully entertains a crowd!
CONS
Can’t think of any. Give me some time to think…
VERDICT
Just buy it, you won’t be disappointed.
This is a MUST have!

I consider Wayne Dobson to be a great performer and magician. His comedic timing and presentation is brilliant. Despite his inability to perform today due to multiple sclerosis, he continues to produce and release tricks and develop amazing ideas. This DVD however, is not new material. Instead, this DVD republishes old television performances, mostly 1989 appearances from the Joe Longthorne Show. The DVD contains Dobson performing seven solid tricks and routines, some with cards and some with coins. Some of the coin tricks will require that you have a gimmick that is not included with the DVD. After each clip, Mike Sullivan explains and demonstrates how to perform each trick with clarity. In addition to the seven tricks performed by Dobson, Sullivan performs a newly published card trick, Flip, and then teaches it.
Because the performances are from the late 1980’s/early 1990’s, the quality of the old video performances do not measure up to today’s high definition standards.
The ad copy and promotional video are accurate since they really don’t make any claims.
If by some chance you are unfamiliar with Dobson, you may not get a sense of how amazingly creative and funny he is since the clips are short. For that reason, I was disappointed. I expected to get more footage of Dobson and would have been pleased to watch hours of his past work. In the past, I have scoured the internet watching old Dobson performances and have enjoyed his creativity and showmanship. I wish this DVD had more footage.
Also on the DVD is Dobson’s very funny recent Ice Bucket Challenge, a typed written message from Wayne and edited snippets of conversation between Dobson and Sullivan, which at some points is difficult to understand.
This is a worthwhile DVD with fooling routines that were good enough for Wayne Dobson to perform on TV. There will surely be a few things in this DVD for everyone.
