Does anybody have the DVD called "Chicago Bar Magic Video with Randy Wakeman?" If so, is it any good and does it have good tricks?

I prefer the Doc Eason DVDs on the same subject.

I can not really say it was a great..just ok.I looked at it & said to myself 'So these are the tricks they used to do in Chicago'! No great shakes IMO but..it brought back a method of the card stab that I used to use.I may start doing it again.

I enjoyed it very much. The effects are direct and to the point. The card stab that charliemagic mentioned is one of my favorite effects. Without refering to the box, most of the effects are card tricks, some dice stacking, a matrix routine with bottle caps (perfect for the bar), etc. I understand that "Chicago Bar Magic II" is in the works and I'm looking forward to that. Randy Wakeman was guest here a few months back, you may want to review his thread for more information.

I have this DVD - it was good, however not as good as I expected it to be. Have a look at the trick list and see if any of it appeals to you, and if so, get it.

Sorry, but I thought this was poor. The effects themselves were OK but Randy's performing style/persona just turned me cold. I did watch the whole tape through but was struggling against the urge to switch off right from the start!
