You may want to start by reading my review of Set 1. That's where you'll find most of my thoughts on the overall production and philosophy of these DVDs. This review will just cover the material on the Set List 2 DVD.
Like the first DVD, Mark is giving you an entire close-up show, not a collection of random effects. The set starts with Thought Of Cards to Pocket. The "thought of" part is identical to an effect in Set List 1. The signed card goes three times to Mark's pocket, ending with the entire deck going to the pocket (ala David Williamson's "51 Cards to Pocket" from Williamson's Wonders). Mark even gives special credit to David for the influence.
In addition to the providing you with a great routine, Mark goes into detail about his philosophy of not starting a set with a card trick and when and why he breaks his own rule to start with this routine.
Multiple Selection is second in the set. It's just what you would suspect. Multiple selections, multiple reveals. It ends with the rest of the deck vanishing (a callback to the first routine).
We get a slight break from the magic while Mark gives his tips for approaching and leaving a restaurant table. He begins by crediting his three big mentors in this area: Mark Mason, Paul Roberts and Andrew Green (my apologies for any misspellings). These are all solid suggestions based on years of experience.
Back to the magic with Logical Sponge Balls. As with the other routines, there's nothing here, method-wise, that's going to impress you. But it's a solid routine with lots of little details that make it a great ending to this set. In particular, it's short and sweet.
The best part of this DVD, for me at least, was Mark's thoughts on how to build a routine. He also covers his ideas on how best to work with the restaurant staff and how he handles tips. Solid advice.
There are a couple of extra routines that you might like. Skittled is a torn-and-restored Skittles bag that changes to an M&M's bag. It's a short bit that involves everyone at the table. You'll also be treated to Mark's version of Pat Page's drink production. Finally, he performs and teaches his version of Richard Sanders' Royal Stab — a wonderful piece of close-up theater.
As I mentioned in my review of Set List 1, the gold on this DVD is the thought behind the routines and the strategy for putting them into a full close-up show.
