Right at the start， let me tell you， viewers are in for a real treat. Most magicians know Paul as a dealer and demonstrator of tricks with coins and canes. These tapes will allow you to view the wide scope of his expertise and knowledge. I think they are among the best of the teaching tapes available.

The information conveyed by Paul is clear， to the point， without affectation， yet thorough and always "commercial" in the entertainment sense. While he dismisses much of the pretense displayed by others as "a lot of garbage，" you will certainly admit the ideas， moves and methods he demonstrates are perfect for their purpose. You will appreciate and benefit from the simplicity and clarity he incorporates with all his explanations. If you do not own a reel for magical purposes， you will， after viewing the amazing results achieved with such ease when a knot appears visibly， using one or two hands. Correct handling of the Serpent Silk routine will probably show you how you have been doing it wrong. A ring can be thrown on to an "ends held" rope or tossed off with ease. All accomplished without sleights.

Moves are repeatedly demonstrated so you thoroughly understand them. These are real lessons in reel handling. You will learn many tips. Like making a nylon line invisible. Complete control sans lock or clip. Correct maintenance . . . advice worth much to any working magician. This tape is excellent. Packed with dozens of ideas and highly recommended.
