We had a blast shooting this stuff over the course of four days, and can’t wait to share it with everyone. I’m personally very proud of this DVD set. It’s filled with incredible magic, and watching Doug is a treat. More info soon. Rich Aviles |

Doug's book is a favorite of mine, looking forward to picking up the DVDs.

Guys and Gals, this is one of the most important video/DVD sets ever released to our fraternity. Since he was a teenager, Doug has been performing full time for real people and it shows.
His 3 coins to cup routine is worth the price of the set. |

Hopefully, he will teach his coins to cup on the Penguin lecture.

Can't wait. I have had the good fortune of working real gigs with Doug here in New Orleans. He is always great.

Just picked this up and, I can't say enough about this DVD set.
If you have Doug's book, than you already know how good his magic is. If you don't, then do yourself a favor and seek it out. I remember when Doug has his old site up, I use to love to sit and watch his video clips. Just by watching you could see how smooth and polished his routines are. The attention to details shows you he's a real world worker. I'd agree with Zombie about his coins to cup routine but, if we keep talking about it, everyone's goin to do it. So, the rest of you skip over this routine and enjjoy the rest of the DVD There is a lot of stuff right from his book, but there's also a lot left in the book, so you should own both DVD set and book. I'd give this set a 10/10 Joe

Doug Conn has a wonderful card trick using the Invisible Palm called "Tricked Traveler". A clever gaff allows displays of the cards before they travel. What most interested me was the appearance of the final ace in the pile.
The plo usualy ahs "3" face down aces, you do a tent or rub away vanish, and it joins the other face down aces. IN Doug's version, the pile has "3" aces face up. You lay down the last invisible ace and it appears face down on top of the face up pile. A stunning visual! |

I agree with what is being said above. There are some very lovely routines on this set that have clearly been worked.
That said, I was totally disappointed on the 'Theory' section. I was looking forward to hearing what Doug Conn had to say. I just thought this part of the DVD was a tad bit cheeky. Those who have the set will know what I mean. Other than this, a very good DVD set! |

I think the "Theory Section" could have just been called "Doug's performing tips".
Tic Tac Turnover is now my favorite way to reveal a card. Very simple, but has such flash to it. |

Lifeisgreat: While the theory section does have Doug's very basic theory on what makes a great performer, the way we shot it was partly meant as a gag. It is a little anti-climactic but I thought having it at the end of the set like that would help the joke set it. Doug does go into more serious thoughts in his Plausible Presentations section, where he discussing some theory with real world examples. I'd look to that section of the DVDs for a more in-depth approach to his thoughts.
For those that haven't purchased yet, now is the best time. We're offering free shipping for the month of December! Rich Aviles http://trcky.com http://fb.com/trckydotcom http://twitter.com/trcky |

There's an urban legend story ( could be true ) of people taking a "how to write write" class from a well known writer. He asked how many wanted to be writers. They all raised their hands and he said "then go write" and walked out.
The little formula Doug gave in the theory section wasn't as cold as that, but while tongue and cheek, it was something that made sense. While it would seem obvious to most, many don't follow it. I LOVE this DVD set. I'm still going through it and learning. |
