I can't believe they got Doug to do a DVD set.

Doug is a real class act too. I was looking for an old set of notes and emailed him and he sent me a set free of charge.

Just received a nice note from Robert Moreland (another great magician!) who says "The best magic DVD of the year... of the decade!"

I'm very impressed with this DVD set.
I think "Flush Brush" is one of the greatest card tricks ever. The explanations are very good. It's been so long since I watched a DVD with proper crediting. Robert |

This is our (TRCKY.com) first big DVD project and we wanted to get it right. It's so great to see that people are enjoying them.

This is a really good set. Good, well thought out, and really used in the real world.
Compared to coming up with an idea one day and it's on DVD the next. |

Looking at the list, it sounds that some of the ricks in the DVD are also in Cummins' book, Am I correct? I don't have the cd handy but I recalled these Chameleon (excellent routine), Flush brush, Copper Silver brash (I think it uses a purse), scrambled (very nice chink a chink with scrabble tiles), pip trip (I got it as well from Mike Powers)
I agree, the magic is fantastic |

I have the the original Conn book "Built To last". Looking at the contents, there are tricks in the DVD set from the book. I think seeing Doug perform them and all the tips, etc. would be wonderful and a master class from the Master himself.
Here's Doug performing the Chinese Coin Assembly with Scrabble tiles ( calling it Scramble ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6JmjbEPS......embedded |

Doug had a nice website a while ago full of videos. I think he originally performed Scramble with
coins. Both styles are very good. |

Pabloinus, you are correct. Many of the items on the DVD are from the book. Doug's been doing those pieces forever so several have been updated with added touches or new handlings entirely. It's also important to note that for the majority of the magic on the DVDs, this is the first time everyone will get to see how the man himself performs them. Doug's got a beautiful touch in the way he handles each trick and, as Zombie hints at, there is a lot to learn from that alone.
That said, I absolutely love the Cummins' book (and even recommend it in the description of the DVDs on the site). The DVDs may not be perfect for everyone who already owns the book but I believe most will find a lot of value in owning both. Rich Aviles |

Those of us that grew up with the Dai vernon books LOVED seeing him perform or lecture about his magic. Same with John Mendoza, Harry Lorayne or any great thinkers/performers.
Seeing Doug actually perform/teach many of the items from the book will be of great benefit. Doug Conn does something very strange these days: he performs for real people, in the toughest venue you can imagine, the Street! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD3woJmWErg |

Flush brush looks like actual card magic. Proper crediting? Doug is old school ( he learned from books. I mean, he REALLY learned from books ). I've never seen crediting like this. It just flows off his tongue. It's refreshing not to hear "this is TILT, which can be found on Michael Ammar's Easy To Master......" ( no disrespect meant to Michael and his fine set ). I'll post much more as I go through it, because I think it's at the top of the most important footage ever released on video. I can tell you now that you'll never sell it or trade and I dare say, not put it away for a future time because It contains jaw dropping miracles that you'll want to learn. Doug is doing his versions of tricks I've done for over 30 years and he's punching me between the eyes fooling me. |

I wasn't really into coins at the time I bought the book ( pretty much just did spellbound ) so I don't remember looking at Three Lumps.
This is a 3 coins to cup routine. Worth the price of the DVD set. Doug is so enamored with this, he teaches 3 versions. One with an extra coin, a gaffed version, & an Impromptu version with borrowed quarters. His "spin doctor" move with the cup is one of the most deceptive I've ever seen. This would be PERFECT for restaurant workers. More to come as I watch the set. |

I was lucky enough to borrow Disk 1 from a friend, I'll be buying this set.
I performed his version of the soldier's prayer book, Prelude, today. It's such a fun exhibition of sleights. For the season "Fall", I came up with a nice handling of my own. Just from watching Disk 1...this is a must-have set. His card stuff is killer! |
