I'm still practising hey you know what would be cool if the make a DVD out of this book.
It'd be nice to see a visual for sure, but I don't quite think a DVD would be good. If there were a DVD you'd just see thousands of the same routine with the same patter performed averagely at best (take a look at my performance of Twister for example, it's "eh".).
If there were some way we could be like $7 or something to gain access to an area where there's just performances of the routines that'd be super cool.
Just my opinion I guess.

why are kids these days so attatched to dvds!?!?!? Ask any professional magician, and they will tell you, don't buy dvds, buy books and read.
DVD's aren't bad! However I don't think that people should pass up a book because it is not on DVD. Some things just translate better to DVD than they can in text format... even with pictures. In Garcia's Blueprints he says that the ego slip is easy to show (DVD) but is really hard to put into words on paper. In this case a DVD is a little better at getting all the subtleties that a hard to explain in a book.
The best thing about books is that it makes you put your own flavor and style to a trick. You can't just recite the patter and mimick the moves of the creator because in a way you have learned this on your own. You picked up a text book and became your own teacher.
I think books are great but that doesn't mean that DVD's are bad. They just should not replace books.
Cheers!
By the way I really want this book!!
