What are the most boring videos you have in your collection? I mean , they can be very intructional, but they can be boring as heck in the same time!
For me, David Roth's expert coin magic made easy vol 1,2,3 is the most boring thing I have ever watched. Plus, theres his monotoned voice during the 3 whole tapes that does everything but keeping me awake! How about other boring videos?

Another vote for Impossible Card Magic. Ray Kosby is a very good technical performer but his presentation is dull and he is extremely bland, at least in the video. But the moves taught in the video make up for it, at least.

Ripped and Restored. Great routiens, but it does not take the same amount of time to teach them as it does to watch Braveheart.
Faith is at the heart of all magic.

Does it matter that they are boring? As long as you learn worthwhile magic.

I hope your kidding! Some people, or should I say MOST people, including me, would PAY to watch Bill Malones performance without learning anything instead of watching an intructional vid filled with boring footage.

That wasn't their point. If the purpose of purchasing a magic video was to learn strong effects, then how interesting the performer is would be secondary to the strength of the effects. Even though interesting patter recommendations would be nice, I don't think it is necessary.
That being said, the original post didn't mention anything about whether a boring magic vid makes for a poor one, all he wanted to know simply was which videos are boring. And I have to agree that Ammar isn't fun to watch, even though his effects are strong. They are great videos, but not much fun. Trevor |

Classic Magic of Larry Jennings, compared to this, impossible card magic is extreme entertainment. I fell rite asleep watching Jennings.

It was a chore sitting through the Tabary rope videos. The performance segments are good, but the explanations are very long, involved, and tedious. That said, the material is beyond compare, and I'm glad I own these. Tabary is DA MAN!

Well, I fell asleep last night about 15 minutes into Ammar's Cups and Balls video so that says something.
I love the content of Ammar's videos and like his teaching style, but he can be a bit dry (boring seems too strong) at times. |

I find the videos where there is no audience during the performance segment to be pretty boring--still good, but dull to watch. The only guys I've seen that have been able to pull this off (still be entertaining even with NO spectators) are Sankey, Acer and Williamson. All three are VERY funny and don't seem to NEED an audience!

Paul Harris Videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean he's got some great tricks, but he himself in videos are just plain sad! He has no exprssion when doing or explaining his tricks and most of his jokes are not funny! He is not the same as he is in his AOA books. |

Troy Hooser's 25 Tricks With Linking Rings. He is an excellent magician but deadly boring on tape.

Great topic:
There are some truly boring personalities out there who at the same time have some great magic as stated in the above examples. Some of my list toppers: Tabary - Looks like he is afraid of the director, but the best rope magic I have seen. David Roth's coin bets (#3 of series?) Great stuff, but try to count how many times he says "Robert". Terry Seabrooke #1- Do not lay down to watch this one. Alan Ackerman A1 - Great stuff, but try to count how many times he says "Mary" zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
