On the DVD it is just the effects but I believe the format was designed so you can learn the key sleights used in the effects independently.

Well that was confusing-- Dorian do you teach the sleights on the DVD?

And that's exactly why I should only post after I'm awake.

Been there. By the way, the DVD is now for sale. I bought one. Looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to seeing this this DVD. I thought the Buck brothers DVD had some of the best production values I've ever seen on a magic DVD. Combine that with great magic and you've got the best of both worlds.

Dorian,

If I get a Droid name I'd much rather be R2 and NOT the annoying nervous one! Chewy is cool too! Smile

FWIW, your demo is nothing short of a Jedi mind trick! AWESOME work my friend! I'm a ways away from that level but in support of you and the desire to archive that level someday, my order will be placed!

Still can't do the clip shift. What are the odds my apparently defective digits can have better luck with Avenue?

Dorian is an amazing magician, he is one of the card guys who scares me a bit when he performs.

He is simply amazing!

The content on Avenue is fairly easy compared to Chad Nelson's Clip Shift, which I would say is one of the hardest sleights out there other than a deceptive center deal.

If you have mastered the basic sleights in card magic, such as double lifts, controls, holding breaks, false counts..., you should have no problem with Dorian's material.

OK, I'm in.

Thanks for the reply.

I believe the DVD is $35.00. I could be mistaken though. It might actually be more like $100 billion dollars but somehow I don't think it will make the best sellers list. I know for sure it's available 01-06-09. For more information please visit http://www.dananddave.com. $0.25 cents for the first minute $9.95 every minute thereafter.

Just letting you guys know, I reviewed the DVD on the reviews page. The review was also posted on dananddave.com and on theory11.com to get the word out.

Hi everyone,

Again thanks for all the kind words. I did post this in the So Happy Together section as well but here goes anyway.

On Wed. January 28th, I will be performing / lecturing at Misdirections Magic Shop.

Check out http://www.misdirections.com for more details.

So pack up the rotten tomatoes and let 'em rip!

Best,

Dorian Rhodell

I finally got a chance to watch the explanations and tricks more than once.

The material is top flight. The sleights are a collection of the old and the new. Dorian has pulled his mechanics from a wide variety of sources. This is like having a real expert read dozens of magic books and select some of the very finest tools for you to digest.

The magic presented on Avenue will not be learned quickly or by many.

Those that choose to add any of these dynamite effects to their bag of tricks will add immeasurably to their arsenal, on many levels.

Great job! The Buck twins did their normal outstanding work in producing this. Everything was within this old man's ability to understand.

Slight disagreement here. It will be learned by anyone who wants to learn it.

Well, that trailer looks like real magic. Beautiful technique ( I'm guessing it's technique, because I can't see him do anything ).

Just chiming in here, although I have yet to see the DVD myself I am very familiar with Dorian's Magic and can only say two words - Holy !@#$!

He's not only got chops but more importantly - he is very well studied, extremely well read and is a serious student of magic.

Anyone willing to practice and apply themselves will be rewarded for the rest of their lives.

Having said all that and based on what I know of both Dorian's magical skills combined with Dan and Dave's video work I highly recommend this DVD for the serious pasteboard junkie. Smile

I have to also agree, have seen the DVD and and Dorian,s teaching skills, magical skills are something to experience. Take the time to practice and you will have "magic" in your hands. Thanks Dorain for all you have put into this DVD.

I have seen Dorian perform in person, and I must say that I am very impressed by his skills. If the material in the DVD is as good as it was in person, all I can say is: WOW!

You have to buy this DVD!
