I love card magic and I'm considering the purchase of either John Guastaferro's or Joshua Jay's DVDs. Which has better card routines?
Which DVD set is a better purchase for intermediate to advanced card magicians???
Brainstorm "The Creative Card Magic of John Guastaferro"
OR
Joshua Jay's new L&L DVDs???
Thank you,
L2L

Me personally haven't watched the Joshua's stuff, but I own the John's DVD.
Brainstorm series are really great. In fact, most of the routines on that DVD I use it when I perform in front of my friends. I rather say that Brainstorm is for beginner - mostly intermediate. The sleights in those DVD are relatively easy with one or two difficult move but John explains the routine very well so it's easy to understand. These are one of my fave DVD set ever.

I recommend the Brainstorm DVDS. I don't have the Joshua Jay DVDS, but I have seen a lot of his material. I can tell you its good. I would first go with the Guastaferro dvds. Excellent material.
If your looking for Advanced material look somewhere else like Darwin Ortiz, Martin Nash, Ed Marlo, etc. Both of these sets are in the intermediate range.
