Very little of this is new. Very little of it is his.
And I’m all for teaching old tricks,
but he doesn’t give detail, special touches, philosophy... just here’s a trick I learned somewhere,
now I’ll teach you.
Further, he does the tricks well, but his presentation is almost
exactly what the real pros preach against. It’s too quick, the magic moments he doesn’t ruin with
bad jokes, he rushes past it. So, no one can digest that a bill just changed, or a wrapper got
restored. He goes so fast it’s exhausting.
Positive note, though: the tricks are all
workers and worth learning. They’re all worth doing.
Just do yourself a favour, if you
watch this and want to do the tricks, take time to find other sources to aid your learning. Or at
least put more thought into it than he does.
