Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Hair by the Cowsills

The Essentials In Magic Series:

For Less than $10 bucks you get an incredible deal. This series of DVDs is one of the best "bangs for your buck" in magic today.

First of All, you get Daryl . . . one of the best teachers in magic. He's fun to watch and he makes learning whatever he teaches very easy.

Here's how I look at it . . . if it only cost me $10 bucks to learn how to recycle yak urine and Daryl's teaching . . . I'm buyin'.

The Stripper Deck:

Daryl Strips everything down to its raw components and builds from that raw naked state to concepts and full routines that are possible with this powerful tool. Thankfully Daryl remains fully clothed during the entire DVD.

Daryl's handling of the deck is so natural and so beautiful that if you weren't watching him on a Stripper Deck DVD, you'd very likely be fooled and not know that it was a Stripper deck.

A brief & interesting history of the deck is covered. Additionally, several tips on how to handle and shuffle the deck that will enlighten even the most astute performers are taught.

Daryl strikes a darn-near perfect balance between talking to the newbie and talking to the veteran. We're also reminded of several classic and fun card revelations.

The DVD is over an hour and will teach you everything (and a whole lot more) that you'll ever want to know about the Stripper Deck.

Whether you've never heard of a Stripper Deck or you've been using one your entire life or you've long since retired yours to "the drawer," I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Final Verdict:
5 Stars with a Stone Status of Complete and Total GEM!
