be high impact magic, very commercial magic, and great bargains.
I'll be adding to this list as I get time. I will try to post actual reviews
of the items for more info. For now, just a list in no particular order.

As I Recall (2 DVD Set) - Tony Slydini
$ 70
As I Recall (2 DVD Set) - Tony Slydini | I think this is the best DVD of 2005 and one of the best DVDs ever.
This 2 DVD set is jam-packed with usable material from spongeballs
to coins to napkins. The material has a very impromptu feel and
much of it can be done at the dinner table.
History, interviews, clips from live shows, television are a great compliment
to the routines performed by Slydini's students (including Cellini).
It's the best!

Cellini Lord & Master of Rings - DVD
$ 25
Cellini Lord & Master of Rings - DVD | An absolutely beautiful rings routine with just 2 rings.
If you perform the rings there are a lot of moves you could incorporate into your own routine.
This is also a rock solid routine on its own. I watched Cellini bring down the house using
this routine as his closer. Warning: You may weep while watching this routine.
Another fine product by Kozmo Magic.
