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.

On Volume Four you do get a VERY nice routine from Miguel Angel Gea, and an extremely clean version of Copper Silver by Eric Jones. There is no third coin, and the hands are shown empty though out the routine as you display the coins.

Along with the variation on the quality of the magic, there were a ton of video and audio issues throughout this disc. Sometimes the dubbing on the non english speaking performers were so bad, they sounded like robots, and other times there were just subtitles.

Unlike Volume Three of this series, there was not enough great material to balance the bad video quality.
