The DVDs are terrific and I think smart magicians will be rapturous. These DVDs are an important contribution to our art. Bravo to all." -JON RACHERBAUMER "My congratulations to all your production team for the terrific product you made. Nowadays there are a lot of DVD's, most of them are unnecessary and offer just small variations, and they are made with little love and obviously just to make money. Yours has many aspects that make the DVD's very valuable. They are the result of part of your life dedicated to study and practice the "Invisible Hand", as you name it, with a nice metaphor. It is uncommon that someone takes the time necessary to make such an exhaustive and deep research on a subject. I enjoyed in particular the historic backgrounds as well as the systematic approach that, as you know, is a subject of my interest. The didactics is exemplar and show your ample culture, knowledge and intelligence. The magic tricks you explain, and I saw up to now, are all terrific! You transmit your enthusiasm on the subject and you have an excellent ability to communicate through such a difficult media as is the DVD. " -ROBERTO GIOBBI "In a word, Bravo!!!!!!! What an incredible project and wonderful product. Everything from start to finish is fantastic. The packaging is beautiful. The style of filming, production and the set is so elegant. The history sets up the learning process so well. The range of effects in incredible and your teaching is so clear and comprehensive. This is indeed one of the best DVD projects I have ever seen and you should be very pleased with the finished product.
