Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Fight Fire With Fire by Metallica

We've all heard it said that you should Fight Fire With Fire (thank you Metallica) not water . . . If that's true, what do you fight bad magic DVDs with? More Bad DVDs? That seems to be the trend these days. This one is another addition to the ever growing list of wastes of your money.

Watch the trailer first. Then let me tell you that it's misleading. The vanish of the hole in the box is not quite as clean as it depicts. For $30 all you're getting is one trick . . . a trick that's not bad, but should have been included as a few paragraphs in a book with multiple effects, or at least one of 10 effects on a DVD. To pay $30 for no gimmick and an "ok" effect is ridiculous. After watching the trailer, if you're blown away by the effect, first, I'll be shocked. Second, then you may like this DVD. The DVD itself is semi-well produced, but for $30 bucks you should expect much more.

The bottom line is this, if you feel that $30 bucks is worth paying for what you see on the trailer, then by all means go for it. Just realize that you're not quite getting what you see in the trailer, and realize that your money and time would be better spent if you traded your $30 bucks for 3000 pennies and flipped them one at a time into a wishing well . . . each time wishing for world peace.

Finally, rather than fighting fire with fire, I'll fight fire with water (i.e., something that can overcome the fire) . . . a better DVD. If you're looking for an effect that uses a hole in the box with a similar "sucker" feel, get Cameron Francis's Corner & Exposure. It's $5 bucks cheaper, a much better effect, and includes a second effect that is equally as impressive, so take $5 bucks and cash it in for 500 wishes for world peace. Spend the other $25 on Cameron's DVD.

Final Verdict:
1.5 Stars with a Stone Status of Rubble.
