I had the chance to review Metal for the SAM's magazine M-U-M. The summative paragraph of the review:
You can get a four volume DVD set that covers everything in Bobo’s Modern Coin Magic, or you can spend half as much money for this one DVD with six tricks on it. I recommend you buy the one DVD. You’ll learn more that’s worth knowing. Eric is a charming performer, a good teacher, and an excellent magician. Get this. |

You'll learn more that's worth knowing from Metal than you will from a 4 DVD set covering everything in Bobos? How do you work that one out?

However to say that Metal has more that's worth knowing is a bit of an overstatement. Don't get me wrong I think Eric Jones is a great teacher a talented magician. However, I would consider Metal as a good complimentary DVD to Bobo's for the extra subtitles, finesses and theory. |

I'd recommend Ammar's 'Introduction' DVD and Bobo's book. Bobo is essential, but it's also essential with coin magic to have a visual complement to the often awkward text. (Though I don't recommend the 4-DVD version: the single DVDs put it all together better.)
I have, and recommend, 'In the Beginning' but I don't have 'Metal'. It looks great, though, and these recommendations is pushing it up my wish list. (Though I have to admit that I have more fun with coin gaffs!) |

I purchased "In the Beginning..." and really love the DVD. Jay is a great teacher and has some goo practical stuff on his DVD. It is excellent. I do not own "Metal"... but no doubt excellent as well. The Godfather, Vinny Marini and his buddies, Marion Boykin and Tim Feher have some really wonderful work-able tricks and routines on Vinny's website. Check those guys out! They have been a SUPER help to me!
