I have his Mad Hats and Wild Wearables Vol 1 DVD. Vol II is currently available, although I do not have it.
There are several useful sculptures on this DVD ie: Ladybug Bracelet and the Monkey Hat, Princess and Tink costumes. The ladybug sculpture is fairly quick, but a majority of the sculptures Don shares are not really "quick" balloon factory sculptures. Most take many balloons and would be something more suitable for the "person of honor" at a party or event. These involved, albeit farly straight forward sculptures, would not be for line work. Don's teaching style is very entertaining and really fun. The setting for the DVD is in the restraunt where he regularly entertains. I would recommend the DVD. Learning these sculptures will DEFINITELY take your reputation up a notch or three. peace, phill

Hi Fred:
I have his "Blow Hard...Latex with a Vengence" and it is my favorite balloon tape/DVD. He is the best I've seen. Ron |

If anyone is not familiar with Caldwell DVDs...don't look any further, there's nothing here...just a bunch of lame doggie balloon animals...just keep walking...
Don Caldwell is an incredibly creative and gifted balloon artist. IMHO...he's problably one of the best...period. I own the "Blow Hard...Latex with a Vengence" DVD and both "Mad Hats and Wild Wearables" DVDs. WOW! As mentioned by phill, Don's style is fun and entertaining. His explainations are very clear even for an advanced beginner to follow. His subtleties and insights are tremendously valuable. Some of models are more complex and require some time to make but practical enough that Don uses them in his Café Tu Tu work on a regular basis. With that said...they're really not what you're looking for...don't buy these silly unuseable videos...just keep walking... Bosco |

http://www.tmyers.com now carry Don's LUNGS OF STEEL video on DVD. I believe Mr. Caldwell will be converting all his previous video titles into DVD format and will include Bonus material in each.
The 3 "new" models on the "Blow Hard...Latex with a Vengence" bonus section are great! Bosco |

After seeing Don's bigger stuff Blow Hard was kind of "boring." I still feel it was a good buy, just not compared to his bigger stuff. I did get some nice line work ideas though.
You know you are a magician when you have boxes full of lecture notes you have never read, but still are excited about going out and buying more.

Anything made by Don Caldwell is well worth buying. His newest dvd Mad Hatz and Wild Wearables is the best so far. It is well over 3 hours on 1 dvd. Enjoy!!!!

I personally have never understood all the fuss about Mr. Caldwell's videos and DVD's. In my humble opinion, he's just another overhyped egomaniac. But his wife is hot.
