I got Al Schneider's book decades ago. It was pretty mindbending - especially given that Bobo's was the "bible" at that time. It changed a lot of everything.
And I agree with what most everyone else is saying here: with the proper presentation, even odd or incongruous moves can be covered. That's what Misdirection is all about. |

Not having the money to buy Al's big book, I took a shot and bought the first of the DVDs I had inquired about, "Heavy Metal series," hoping he'd have a thorough explanation of his "Pop-Up Move." It's possibly the best DVD I've ever seen. His explanations of the Pop-Up Move, and "Max Al Ping Chien" where impeccable. The camera work was excellent as well, shifting camera angles were always pointing exactly in the right place to help you understand what had to be done. (There was one exception, a steal from heel-clip position was not shown well, but I was able to dope it out by watching it in start-stop mode a few times.)
The material was top notch as well. His "Osmosis" is probably the best penetration effect since "Silk Through Cane" from Albanice's "Reel Magic." Some might quibble that the inclusion of four Coins Across routines is too many, but I believe they give the aspiring coin magician the chance to explore what will best fit his style and skill levels. All of them are great. I can't imagine anyone not loving this disk, unless they're looking for card tricks. |

Magiccomputerguy,
I fully agree with you. I am fortunate enough to have purchased all three of the "Confidential" DVDs. There is so much material, thought and care put into the production of this project, I can not recommend it enough. I realize my opinion may not carry much weight, but there it is. Even though this is not the place for it, Mr. Schneider's Cups and Balls DVD is excellent, as well. Respectfully, James Sievert
