bgh13mm New user Pelham, Alabama 84 Posts	Posted: Jan 19, 2009 02:21 pm 0 Does anyone have any thoughts on Richard's dvd called Fiberoptics extended? ?Is it any good? I have never bought anything of his just looking for something new besides cards,coins and spong balls. Thanks for any input.

I learned the entire routine in about a month and it absolutely kills adult spectators but I don't recommend it for kids. They seem to get lost with all of the moves and the machine gun pace at which the effect is presented. When there is suppsoed to be a moment of amazement there is just silence because the kids are still trying to comprehend what they just saw. But I will say this, I performed the routine at a work function about a year ago and everyone was absolutely floored. You could get adult-show bookings based on that routine alone, but for kids I use Daryl's rope routine. It's uses a lot of different moves and is still amazing but it is slower paced and works better for a kid show enviroment. I'd love to see how he's improved on the routine but I don't think there is much more that can be done to make the fiberoptics routine better.

Cameron Francis V.I.P. 7028 Posts	Posted: Jan 19, 2009 06:35 pm 0 The dvd is terrific. You certainly don't have to perform all of it. I took a few moves and made my own routine for table hopping. If you are interested in doing rope stuff, the dvd is a must have! MOMENT'S NOTICE LIVE 3 - Six impromptu card tricks! Out now! http://cameronfrancismagic.com/moments-notice-live-3.html

There are a couple new moves and routines that make it worth the upgrade. Highly recommended if you are serious about learning rope magic.

All I wanted to do was quote you magicjack1977 and add that I had the original dvd then sold it and got the new extended version. There are a couple new moves and routines that make it worth the upgrade.

bgh13mm New user Pelham, Alabama 84 Posts	Posted: Jan 20, 2009 11:50 pm 0 What type of rope do you use??
