has anyone posted a full review yet?

Fantastic DVDs. If you want to do a matrix or Shadow Coins routine you really ought to own these.

Unfortunately all (or perhaps all bar one effect) of the effects require the use of a table of some kind and many require the use of a close up pad or smooth tablecloth covered table to facilitate the necessary moves.

Fantastic coin routines are plentiful but many of the effects are of a very similar nature to the next. How many ways of performing matrix do you really need? How ever many you DO think you need, a great version that suits you is bound to be on here somewhere.

The production quality is really good and the performance sections are a real bonus. I'd never seen 'Dean's Box' demoed before and not knowing the effect I am still completely confounded as to how it is done.

A top buy, especially if your performing arena includes a table and close up pad.

Well, actually most of these effects can be done on the floor with a smooth carpet. So if no table is around just get on your knees. The top view is the best view anyway for these kinds of effects.

Just watched the television special ( bonus feature ) on the DVD. My, I think Dean Dill's a brillant performer.... really entertaining.... good showman I would say....

These DVDS RULE! Dean is one of the nicest guys, and these DVDs really show off how great his magic is. I met him at LVMI and I got to see some of these performed live. My favorites are Call shot, and the instant reverasl, and no extras and the backfire. Really great stuff. Now I just need one of his awesome pads.

This is one of the best produced DVD projects. Others ( L&L ) could learn alot here!!!

Are there any clips of any of the effects from the dvd posted anywhere?

Do most of the routines require gaffs such as shells, special coins, etc.?

Most of it requires shells. I like "No extras".

I bought the first DVD in this set from Dean at the COINvention raced home to watch it and loved every bit of it.As mentioned before it has some of his older effects but they have all been redone for this DVD and the way the DVD is setup for effects or explanations is certainly great.I now have to order the second part.I was also able to see his close-up pads in person and have added one to my wish list.

Well I've read all the posts about this DVD set and finally decided to get it after almost a month of thinking it over.I've been wanting some good matrix effects and I decided this was a good DVD to start with.

Did you see his "Production Pad"? I bought one from him when he was at a convention here in Portland and it is sweet! It allows you to produce four half dollars from under cards, and a giant coin, at any time you want (with out having to go to pockets first). You can also add a stack of cards to a deck shuffled by a spectator very cleanly and without palming. Dean is a very clever guy and puts out quality goods.

Excellent DVD. Dean has such a nice touch in the way he handles coins. No Extras was incredible. I also loved Simple Matrix with Backfire, and Tonight Show Matrix. It's nice to see great table magic without a lot of lapping.

Just got the DVD's. Great stuff! If you don't already have his Intimate Close-Up Miracles video, this is also something very much worth buying. He teaches the wonderful three silk routine that you can see on the Tonight show bonus footage that's included on the first DVD.

Question for you all:

When I first bought these dvds I borrowed a friend's laptop to watch them. I loved them. I bought a dvd player and it won't play these. I have never had a problem with any other dvds. Any clues?
