Review Team Magazine Presents:DVD Review~Paul Harris:The Art Of Astonishment

If you are into sleight-of-hand and don't know who Paul Harris is, then you have been missing out on one of the most creative minds to ever emerge in the magic world. He is a master of his craft and watching him work is a delight. This is the first P.H. DVD I purchased and as I look back, I see that this disc has the effects that really capture his style.
There are nine effects all together with a lot variety of medium.there are some card effects, some money effects and some impromptu effects. This DVD is a wealth of knowledge and the content has a lot to offer the professional as well as the hobbyist.
Paul Harris has been a big influence on my own close-up work, as I think that he is the best around. The thing is, he is really personable and comes across very relaxed. Just watching him is an education in itself. Timing, humor, and flawless skill are the hallmarks of an exceptional close-up worker as he carries these qualities in spades.
The art of astonishment is a must have for any serious close-up enthusiast and will hold it's own over time.
I recommend this DVD without qualms.
Five out of five stars
