Hi Magico, we had a few problems with editing which are hopefully now resolved. Flying tonight and Pseudo Pickpocket are at the replicators now. Pocket this has been redited and I should have it today or tomorrow to send to the replicators. So hopefully very soon!
All the best. Chris Congreave |

This got a VERY bad review from My Lovely Assistant ( from one of their OFFICIAL reviewers ).

Yep he really loved it...lol.
To be fair it was meant to be a 1 trick DVD with lots of extras and variations. It was also our first DVD. Although the filming/sound/ was poor, I still think the content was excellent. |

Christopher, I think you and Gary did a great job. The routines are what I cared about!

I still use all of the routines off here almost on a daily basis, while I agree with the reviewer that the camera work and sound was off, you can still learn from the DVD and the explanations are more than thorough; in fact I also go into detail about the psychology of body loading, loading a coin onto someone's hand and coin under watch etc, also, to have all the coins in my shelled version of 3fly examined naturally without the need to palm the shell, something new in 3fly, he didn't mention any of these points, only the negative stuff lol!! Oh well lol! Gary Jones.

That's a great point Clarke, while it's great to have an all singing all dancing well produced DVD, if the effects are cr#p then it means nothing!! We learned from this, while I did have a few problems with another company (which was out of my control) all of my latest stuff has been produced by Russ Stevens at RSVP (and Alakazam), I just wished we went with Russ for our first DVDs, you live and learn! We can't change the past 
The effects are solid and have been worked continuously over a number of years, all the bugs have been ironed out and the routining is there for the taking! Thank you for your support over the years, very much appreciated mate. Gary Jones.

This dvd had a lot of great moves and routines in it. I loved the cc expensive 3 fly. In fact I bought the dvd just for the cc expensive 3 fly trick. However, I do have a problem with the dvd. I went right into watching the cc expensive 3 fly and the guy simply rushed the trick. This might have been because he was performing for another magician but it didn't do the trick justice. Then I went into the explanation and the guy said he wasn't going to go into to great of detail because it was described in part on another trick. Okay, so I go to that trick and he says that he wont go into to great of detail about parts because another trick explained it. So essentially I had to mesh three different tricks together just so I could learn the one. This was a big let down. I don't care if you explain part of the trick somewhere else on the dvd. I want the explanation in one place so I can go along with the dvd, not have to search through three different tricks just to piece it together. They are geniuses for the material but the presentation was lacking.

I just came back to this as I'm wanting to learn a three fly routine. After all these years I am still amazed at how good the effects are and yet how terrible the teaching and quality is.
