John Guastaferro "Brainstorm" 1-2
Bill Malone "On The Loose" 1-4
Bernard Bilis "La Magie par les Cartes" series
Banachek "Psi Series"
Richard Sanders "Fiber Optics"
Tommy Wonder "Visions of Wonder" 1-3

My list :
Number ONE : Tom Mullica : an evening at the Tom-Foolery
Doc Eason : Bar magic
Greg Wilson : on the spot
Jeff Obson : Live
Bill Malone : on the loose
Osterlind : mind mysteries
Banacheck : psi series
David Regal : the magic of david regal
Jay Sankey : live
David Williamson : magic farm

I love that we all cheat so much by calling a series one of our top ten!!! This is great, but does not give enough information for those of us who are strapped for cash and cannot buy all fifteen discs or tapes in every series that is out...

With that said, I am working out my list as we speak!

For this list it's not cheating to list an entire series since the original posting for that started this topic stated, "A whole series of DVD's can be regarded as one title."

However, I understand you wanting to get additional information for each disc. There can be a difference in the quality of the magic from one disc to another within the same series.
