An Exceptional DVD

Sometimes a trick or DVD just speaks to you. And this is the case for me with "The Professional Repertoire of Etienne Pradier."

On this DVD, Pradier teaches excellent effects for walk around and strolling and the collection goes beyond the standards that you often find on most DVDs. I found some fresh new ideas here that are also thoroughly commercial.

I particularly liked his killer signed card to bottle and broken wineglass effects. Also, his "card to pocket" is a sleight-heavy routine that will challenge magicians but also entertain lay audiences.
