List your top ten DVD's of all time. It does not have to be in any particular order, but of course you are welcome to do so. A whole series of DVD's can be regarded as one title. Here is my list:
1. Bill Malone - On the Loose 1-4 2. Richard Osterlind's - Mind Mysteries 1-4 3. Tommy Wonder - Visions of Wonder 1-3 4. Dai Vernon - Revelations series 5. Darwin Ortiz - Cardshark 6. Harry Lorayne - Best Ever series 7. Alex Elmsley - The Tahoe Sessions 8. Michael Ammar - ETMCM series 9. Daryl - Encyclopeadia of Card Sleights 10. Lennart Green - Green Magic series |

I have around 60 DVD's and these are the best in no real order. These are DVD's only!!!!
1)Visions of Wonder 1-3 (Tommy Wonder) 2)Richard Osterlind's Mind Mysteries 1-4 3)On the Loose 1-4 (Bill Malone) 4)Michael Ammar Easy To Master Card Miracles 1-9 5)Encyclopedia of Card Sleights by Daryl 1-8 6)The Flicking Fingers present: The Movie, Tricks and Fiction from the Road 7)Sal Piacente's Expert Card Magic Lecture Notes 1-2 8)Vernon Revelations (Dai Vernon) This is my list so far, only the very best of my collection. The Ortiz stuff should be out on DVD very, very soon. I have not seen his stuff on VHS yet so I am very excited that the new format will soon be offered. Maybe these will round out my list. Things that didn't quite(I love and recommed all of these) make the final cut are in no order: Green Magic, Best of Sankey, Secret Files by Sankey, Art of Card Manipulation by McBride and well the list goes on and on and is probably of no real interest to anyone but me. I have not seen Devo's "Cradle to the Grave" yet, but I am very interest in the way that this was shot and put together.

I'd add:
Derren Brown: Devil's Picturebook. I watch this over and over to see a master midirector and performer at work. Stealing the Show - Pickpocketing DVD by James Freedman. Definitive work by a real gent. Daryl Does the Full Monte - great teaching DVD, well produced. I developed a good entertaining routine with this DVD using this. Which is what it's all about. |

Here's my vote, not that it matters, especially to you card or stage guys:
In the Trenches - Paul Green Total Destruction (1-3) - Troy Hoosier Expert Coin Magic (1-3) - David Roth Revolutionary Coin Magic - Jay Sankey The Usual Suspects (not a magic dvd, but one of the best movies ever) On the Spot - Greg Wilson (ok tricks, but a great lesson in timing) Tiki |

In no particular order:
Greg Wilson: Ring Leader Osterlind's Mind Mysteries Roth: Ultimate Coin magic Michael Close's: Very very close Max Maven's Video Mind Henry Evans Something more than an illusion (I liked these despite the fact that they are gimmicky) Greg Wilson: On the spot Greg Wilson: Card Stunts John Guastaferro: Brainstorm Sal Piacente - Expert Card Magic I can't say anything about the On the Loose series because I don't have it yet (based on how many people say it's great, I have it on order already!) :)

One that hasn't been mentioned is Extreeme Dean 1 and 2.
Check out my new effect "As Good As It Gets" a gimmickles pencil or pen through bill effect. It closely mimmicks the slow motion phase of "Misled." About "As Good AS It Gets" for no gimmicks and everything being borrowed.

Isn't it interesting that most of these videos being listed on this top 10 list were produced in the last 3-5 years?
I would love to see and own historical compilation tapes depicting the performances of the past masters. I wouldn't care if the tapes were "performance only" and were silent 16 mm conversions. Just being able to watch the style and the audience management and the routining would be invaluable information. And the nostalgia value? Priceless!! Mike P.S. I am aware of tapes of the following: Slydini, Dai Vernon, Fred Kaps and Alex Emsley. It would be interesting if other could list any other "oldies but goodies" that are available.
Magic is a vanishing Art.
