Not sure if this is the best area to put this but I want some opinions. I have Magical Voyages.
What do you guys think is Eugenes Burger's best set?

I have Eugene's Magical Voyages 1 & 2, and the Close-up Gourmet video. My favourite video is Magical Voyages 2 due to the effects, setting and guest Jeff McBride. Eugene, to me is amazing. He has great ideas and is very original.

The great thing about Eugene is among other things his voice. Image having this voice and looking like Antonio Banderas and being magical like René Lavand.
I like the first video in this series. Feels more like the "real world" |

The DVD where you find his Mullica wallet routine, the card under tablecloth and Eugene's shot glass surpise is clearly the most valuable and most practical DVD in my opinion. It's called, qoute :"Gourmet Close-Up Magic Eugene Burger performs three shows at the Biggs restaurant in Chicago and then explains the routines from his professional repertoire. Learn the Three-Card Monte, Allerton's Aspirin Box, Thought Sender, Shotglass Surprise, Voodoo, Mullica Wallet, Signed Card Under The Tablecloth, Shotglass Surprise and more. Includes a David Parr interview about working restaurants. Running time: Approximately 83 minutes."
A lot of these DVD's covers very little material, but a few of them is clearly their money's worth. A point of the above is that it shows the -Card Monte, Allerton's Aspirin Box, Thought Sender but it doesn't teach them - at least not on my DVD. However the Voodoo, Mullica Wallet, Signed Card Under The Tablecloth, Shotglass Surprise are very strong effects. |

I've enjoyed every video Eugene has ever put out, but his second big book with Richard Kaufman, THE PERFORMANCE OF CLOSE-UP MAGIC, is still my all-time favorite of his releases.

Loved Gourmet Close-Up Magic
Liked Magical Voyages #1 Didn't care much for MV #2 - the outdoor scenes didn't work so well, either. Mark
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Eugene's published work is of the finest quality. With that said, I have learned more from watching him work than I have any of his books or, in fact, anyone else's books. He is able to connect with an audience immediately and bring them into his magical experience. If you ever get a chance to watch him work, bring a pen and paper and enjoy.

Eugene's best stuff is when you take a private lesson with him. Everthing else is B.S. in comparison, because he focuses on you. Do yourself a favor, go out of your way and take a lesson - Eugene is one of the few who can truly teach.

Ditto EVERYTHING HERE....
My favorite, performance of Close up magic..... Every single essay there transformed me as a magician. INCREDIBLE. lets be a little cocky here..haha.... antonia banderas type of look-check Rene lavand-almost eugenes voice-not even close.... Man eugene has the best voice for magic EVER. Im really thinking about attending the school with jeff McBride I can't believe I am questioning signing up to meet one of not only my favorite magicians ever, most amazing humans ever. Thank god we have eugene. |

Ive read about that, does anyone have a link to the sign up? Also it is established that He is the Antonio Banderas of the magic community. (and I don't even know why I used tht comparison...but anyway)
So what should be my next purchase from him?

Eugene is also one of my favorites as well. Him and Max Maven do have that "Magical Voice" for magic!
Stevens sells one that has Eugene doing several routines including "Dracula and the Sorority Girls", not sure of the name of the DVD, but it is really good as well. |

I too love Gourmet surprise...but I'm a sucker for wanting a DVD or video with a quantity of tricks and I find that his fall short.
