There has been some talk/rumors on new DVDs by Paul Harris and I wanted to give official word on this exciting project. The rumors ARE true. Paul is actively working on a new DVD project entitled "True Astonishments".
Paul and I discussed it last year at length and Paul decided to make a DVD series that would be the end for all, quite possibly his last "big" project. Paul hired a great producer to ensure these will be the absolute best they can be- very cutting edge. True Astonishments was originally going to contain all of the material in Art of Astonishment. Paul then decided to shift the project so that it is all A++ material with absolutely no filler. Thus he has reworked some of the better items in AOA, added new items that are really magnificent, and received some contributions that will blow your socks off. It has been narrowed down to about 70 or 80 items and all will be of the absolute highest caliber. The DVD set will be out most likely around NEXT September. Paul is spending ALL of his time working on this huge and important project and you will not be disappointed. There are many amazing surprises that will be announced closer to that time. Start saving your money now. This could be one of the most important and exciting projects in a LONG time. As it gets closer we will release more details. We just felt it was important to give everyone a heads up on this. Tim Trono |

BTW... I meant September/October of THIS year. Sorry for the miscommunication. I don't know what I was thinking. As of today it is still on schedule for that time frame and Paul is working very day on it.

Anybody know if it is A-1 that will produce these DVD's (as it is they who have the rights to Paul's material as I know it). Or will he produce them himself?

Actually Paul owns the rights to his own material, Paul and Murphy's Magic Supplies jointly own the copyright to AOA, and Murphy's owns the copyright to the Paul Harris Stars of Magic volumes and the Art of Astonishment video. As indicated above, Paul is producing these new DVDs and has using a fantastic videographer. Paul is also producing a very select line of other DVDs including all new Daniel Garcia DVDs which will be out soon. Anything that Paul is producing/releasing will have VERY high standards as far as production, content, etc. He is being extremely selective in regard to production, content, strength of material, etc. I hope that helps.

Tim this is a little off topic, but will Paul ever write another book?

Seth, I know you're not talking to me, but I'm pretty sure this will be Paul Harris' final project.

Hi Seth. As Timofy noted, these DVDs will be Paul's last big project. He will most likely still do periodic releases but I would seriously doubt if he ever does another book or a DVD set of his own material. Paul is really giving his all to this project and it's hard to imagine anything else of this magnitude ever coming along again. We talk almost daily and he is spending all of his time and effort on this. We've discussed a bunch of the material and it is brilliant. He's hacking away on anything that is NOT A+++. I agree with MagicChris that this will be the event of the decade.

Mr. Trono,
Please pass my little pitch along to Paul: How about a DVD devoted to "a day in the life of Paul Harris". Basically, what would it be like to just hang out with him for a day. I'd love to see if it's true that he lives in a tent in someone's backyard. Maybe clarify some of those rumors. ~Josh |

Would there be any way to perhaps submit one's own material to Paul to take a look at, or has the filming pretty much been completed? I know he was going to put some material that was not his own on the DVDs.
Thanks, Jason |

I just had a visual in my mind of Paul finishing up the scripts for his new DVD set, and then leaning over and turning off the lantern in his tent before falling under his sleeping bag. Then the person who's yard he lives in yells out to ask him if he needs anything, and Paul replies in his usual monotone low key voice, "no I am fine." LOL. I highly doubt that a man of Paul's stature lives in a tent. That is probably another one of his crazy illusions that he wants to create in all of our minds.

I think the flurry of material that isn't very good may have inspired him to raise the bar for the industry. His will be the gold standard ( not many will come close ) to which DVD's and effects will be judged.
