I have to agree with J. Bayme. In my opinion this set will be worth it's weight in gold even for people who already own the book. The most valuable aspect of this is getting to see the creator (Chris) perform all of his own creations...all the great stuff that he poured his soul into over the last 20 years or so. Not to mention the fact that Chris HAS actually performed this stuff thousands of times so you know they are not pipe dreams. It's also the entertainment value that a set like this would have...even more entertaining than that amazingly funny book.
And it's true...every time I have hung out with Chris he always had a new refinement for one or more of these gems from his book. You would be an idiot not to buy this!!! So what if the kid next door starts doing 3 fly...the idea is that this should inspire you all with a fresh sense of creativity and high standards...not so that you can just learn every trick in his book(DVD) and attempt to add them to your repertoire. It just doesn't work that way.
That's not to say we would not benefit from experimenting with every trick in the book...we would all be better magicians for having done so. What else can I say?
