I remember buying this DVD quite a while back
Basically Mcbride is the god of manipuatlion so you know his material is good.
basically what this DVD is, is a DVD which teaches you "easy" manipulation.
Instead of doing split fans and mutiple productions, it teaches you little short cuts.
Although the effects arent as amazingly magical, it still does the job.
Mcbride gives you little tips and methods in which you can do manipulation with minimal practice. Although you still need to know the basics, you do not need to go into the advanced stuff to look like a pro.
I would recommend this DVD only if you want to start manipulation imediatly or need to perform it at short notice. If you do get this DVD, i recommend getting the proper manipulation DVDs as it seems like more of a temporary thing rather than something you will do for ever.
