Yes, as I'm french I bought it a little while ago.

It's nothing like the UK or US style in the presentational form, it's a Duvivier franch style, so some won't like that, BUT the ideas of G. Bloom are pure genius !

Simplicity, techniques used outside the conventionnal uses (TT or IT...), it's so cool and clever...

I love all Gaetan's work and this one makes no exception. I have to say I don't know the guy as I'm only a simple 'hobbiest'(?).

It REALLY recommend this for magic lovers and for those willing to spent a little time building some inexpensive props to have great and original effects.

Some else has an opinion about this ?

(sorry of the english isn't perfect...)

It's better than mine and most people I know!

Thanks, that's nice ;-)

Other opinions about this set ?
Just an addon : there are 2 DVDs but those contain 3 VHS videos from 1995 I believe. So you have a good amount of effects... Try and I think you won't be disappointed despite the 'old style' perhaps, but the effects again were and are yet really strong for the most.

Best

It used to be a 3 video set, and it has been remastered into a 2 DVD set.
Great thinking, great ideas. DVD is available in French, and Gaetan translated them himself in English, adding an extra Bonus trick no originally released on the video set.

You can see the video of the bonus trick here :

You can see the trailer of the DVD set here (PS : The difference between the first video is at 1:32'):

You have more details with the accurate translation of the add copy here, the add copy was babelfish translated, therefore, reading the Penguin add copy does not mean anything :
