I have the same issue with these DVDs as I had with the “New York Coin Magic Seminar” DVDs.

Sure, there are some good ideas here from some brilliant creators and performers, but these are buried underneath poor presentations, sloppy techniques, and cluttered routining. Also, there is a language barrier with some of the performances and explanations.

However, there were a few HUGE stand outs for me on Volume 3 of this series. Daryl, Francis Tabary, and Roberto Giobbi all have wonderfully magical, and deceptive routines, and those three are worth the price of this disc. Giobbi goes a step further than a standard matrix routine by having the four chosen cards end up matching the date on his “Lucky Coin.” Very smart structure in both method and presentation.

Also, while it wasn’t the best coin trick I’ve ever seen, Michael Rubinstein had a coin version of “Oil & Water” that was very pretty, and very practical.

Again, these were the stand outs from coin routines that look like every other coin routine you’ve ever seen. Overall, I think these idea make up for the quality and price.
