I am a new comer, but was surprised to see only a few votes for D. Roth and none for John Carney? Inspired by Steven's 1st Coin Classics, I am going to get some Carney materials as soon as I work through Roth's Expert Coin M.
Most folks just listed with few comments. So, a compilation may be interesting. Hope I did not mangle anyone's name.

I have not seen the Carney stuff yet, but I have read great reviews. When he lectures in the Bay Area on the 14th of July I will try to buy these DVD's. I am sure they will be tremendous.

The best coin sleight and video of all time- Sylvester Pitch '98

Platt,

I just love watching this tape!! I think Dan Sylvester is a genius at routining. And watching his sight gags (especially his pulling his tongue), is priceless.

Mike

P.S. And his Syvester Pitch and other sleights are sooo well executed and thought out. His pitch of a egg plant (Yes!! An EGGPLANT!!) is just astounding.

Why has no one mentioned the Don Alan video by Stevens, or Albert Goshman's Magic by Gosh? joey

Oops, just realized you were asking only for dvd. sorry! but why aren't those vids available in dvd?

My Top 10:

Daryl's Card Revelations series
The Magical Artistry of Petrick and Mia
Sylvester the Jester Suspended Dimension
Great Scott
Rodney Reyes - School of Hard Knocks
Oz - Born to Perform
Cellini DVDs
Anything by Aldo Colombini (mind blowing magic!)
Simon Lovell The Party Animal and Office Animal set
Peki - The Art of Floating

Daryl Encylopedia of Card Sleights 1- 8
Richard Osterlind 1 - 4
Easy to Master Card Miracles 1 - 9
David Roth Coin Magic
Max Maven 1 - 3

All of these are gold!

De'vo's Cradle to Grave DVD
Encyclopedia of Playing card sleights
Richard Osterlind

Good lord, I am glad to know Magic Café. So many information for a beginner like me. I have bought Daryl's encyclopedia, Allan, Bill Malone, Michael Close.
They are all good DVDs, thanks so much for this forum.

Ok, I've now seen On the Loose and have to agree, it's absolutely one of the best sets of DVDs I've ever watched.

Jees! I can't believe someone mentioned the Revelations series. They are pretty awful. Daryl looks bored as hell and the paid audience look catatonic.

I wouldn't pick 10 as there are so many average ones around. But the best I've seen are

Devils Picturebook by Derren Brown - superlative card/mental magic performed really well with good teaching. Great to watch over and over.

Stealing The Show by James Freedman - excellent pickpocket DVD. Sets a standard in high quality teaching and production. Enjoyable to watch

Daryl Does the Full Monte - complete, well performed, well taught. I ended up with a good routine from this .

True, he does look bored but, there is so many different ways to revel a card. I do not think you need all 5, but buy a couple of them.

I don't think the audience are paid.

But they look like there was some free food and booze involved.

This is my top ten, in order:

1) Flicking Fingers's The Movie;
2) Richard Osterlind's Mind and Mysteries;
3) Paul Harris, all the "Stars of Magic" videos;
4) Patrik Kuffs's Mind Bending;
5) David Roth's Expert coin magic 1-3;
6) Johnny Thompson's Commercial Magic 1-3;
7) Juan Tamariz's Lessons in Magic 1-3;
8) Tommy Wonder's Vision of Wonder 1-3;
9) Lennart Green's - Green Magic Series;
10)Bill Malone's - On the Loose 1-4

I don't have 10 dvd's yet but...
in no particular order here goes

the very best of jay sankey vol. 2
michael Ammar etmcm vol. 1-2
daryl encyclopedia of card sleights vol 8
daryl does the full monte
Richard Kaufman basic technique

I took quite a bit of time before I made each purchase to ensure that I would'nt be wasting my money.

next on the list will most likely be something from the OTL series by Bill Malone, any suggestions as to which one of the four tapes is the best would be greatly appreciated.

Some of my favorites are

Guy Hollingworth -- Renditions
Lennart Green -- Green Magic vol. 3
Paul Harris -- Immaculate Close Up in the Stars of Magic series (I particularly like Stapled and The Unshuffle.)
David Regal -- Magic of David Regel vol. 1
the old Videotronics Dai Vernon series (fabulous: The Professor himself)
Alex Elmsley -- Magic of Alex Elmsley (Volume 1 explains and routines with the Elmsley Count.)

The Elmsley material is so good it made my first visit to the Magic Castle a bit boring -- at least the card part of it!

1) Michael Ammar
2) bill Malone
3) gregory wilson
4) david regal
5) flicking fingers
6) johnny thompson
7) doc eason
8) aldo colombini
9) daryl (any of his dvds)
10) john guastaferro
11) juan Tamariz
