It's interesting to look back at those. The prices were at least $75 for VHS for both Tannen's & Stevens.
The Tannen videos were the Stars of Magic series and Stevens' was The Greater Magic series. One of the key differences was that Stevens' videos were broadcast quality (shot at the ABC affiliate in Wichita if I remember correctly) and had an audience. L&L brought even more to the table with better production quality and lower prices. |

It seems the newer companies are doing live performances, on the street or in actual restaurant settings. No matter what the series is called, L&L does it in the same place, almost the same audience.
They hit the mark BIG time with the Doc Eason set in '98. I wish they had kept doing that. |

It seems that the real void in DVD publishing in general is with stage and parlor material. There is enough close-up on DVD to last a lifetime.

I think many people want to see L&L do well. I think they want L&L to do well for the reason that I want them to do well and that reason is L&L was so important in helping me discover my love of magic. They were and still are so good. Forget the corny late 80's and 90's decor, the magic was amazing. For all we know they could be doing really well, taking a break and waiting to come out with a bunch of new stuff that will change the game again. I still believe that they are the most desirable company for pros to release stuff. I'm a fan, I hope they stick around for a while.

Quote: Yes, you're right. In some instances material is shown performed in a restaurant/bar situations. But, there are trade offs.

Many times the explanations are also shot in the same establishment in order to make the production more cost effective. This in many cases creates certain compromises. The Sweden 21 DVD is a good example. On the second DVD of the set about 2 thirds of the material was performed and explained when the restaurant was packedand the noise level at it's highest. I found this very distracting during the explanations. There's good and bad to everything. L&L may not do everything right, but I think they do most things right.

This turned out to be a good topic. Thank you to all that participated. To end on this, all I want is to see L & L do well. I will probally see Jim Sisti at NEMCON in a couple weeks. He will know the situation I'm sure.

Jim Sisti may know some but he won't know all and even if he did. Why would he go around helping to spread speculation as to what is or isn't going on with L&L? Even Louis F. probably wouldn't tell you everything even if he knew you well. If he did he would have to be sure you weren't going to go blabbing to everyone. Yes Jim Sisti is good friends with Louis. But don't expect him to spill his guts on what he may or may not know either.
Reread the posts of Domino Magic his posts are really all you need to know. L&L is going to be around for quite a while I'm sure. |

I grew up learning magic from the L&L, A-1 and Steven’s videos. It would be a shame to see them go out of business.

Jeez guys! L&L isn't going out of business. If they were going out of business, they wouldn't be releasing new titles, which they still continue to do.
