So I'm debating whether to get volume 1 or Avenue. Basically all I like from it is Ego and the rubber band tricks. I want to know are the rubber band ones practical and if it is gimmicked and your opinions on the whole DVD.
Thanks

Glad to know you have a well informed and reasonable opinion, 52 card pickup, you're the epitome of intelligence here at T11.
not to bash dG but out of the 1 project you will probably find only like one of the tricks actually presentable ......... it comes to danny so well because he is very highly skilled. just giving you my opinion
If all that you want are those two tricks, they're in his lecture notes called Next. It's a pretty good deal, even if it is horribly written (sorry DG)

I own all three volumes, so I will give you my thoughts on them.
Even though I only used a few tricks from each volume, they were a lot of fun to watch and I learned a bunch of cool stuff. His ideas are really out of the box, and will get you thinking about different types of tricks. I would buy the first volume, and see how that goes. If you like it, check out the other two. Hope this helps!

The Daniel Garcia projects are brilliant although you will need a lot of confidence to pull off some of the effects. The first phase of the rubber band trick is not gimmicked but the second phase is. If you want an impromptu linking bands have a look at DG's BentTouchSlink.
If you want some creative out of the box thinking go with the DG project but remember you will probably only find 1 or 2 effects of each volume that work for you. As somebody else mentioned earlier, all these effects come very naturally to DG but to others they can seem a bit impractical.
It's difficult to say anything about Avenue but it looks like a very nice collection of well structured routines, probably nothing revolutionary though. Although I think i'll get more out of Avenue than I did from the DGP's.

I dunno, what country do you live in?
I don't know why you'd bother to post if you're only going to flame someone without bothering to explain why. "z0mg he suxX0rz" doesn't help anyone.
all right i come straight i dont like DG because he just seems like a a^^hole yea he got some good concpets but alot is taken out of aoa and other books and he giives no credit to them
thats all
thats all
i would say Avenue- it looks like Dhorian has some good stuff in it- besides, it'll tend to suit MY style since im influenced by the buck twins (and they helped make Avenue)
I emphasise on MY style. that doesnt mean it will suit you immediately, however i own DGP 1-3 and i only found some things useful there, not too keen on things such as JoeBlow and that window trick (forgot what its called)
But nacho mama's triumph and Ego Force/Ego Change is definitely worth its money. =]
Cant really say anything about avenue- though if i had the choice right now i'd buy the DVD-cept im lacking funds!
Edit:
Damn, a DG hater. what's the world going to. =/ that's like saying you hate santa clause. not implying DG's fat, but like everyone likes santa clause- which means everyone loves DG!
I think Mr.Bayme and DG should have a joint project, that'd be hillarious. Bayme is funny =D

I like the DG project allot there are some cool effects on them and its allot of live performances which is great to watch, but if you can only get one dvd i would get avenue, it seems to have some great real world effects on it, and there are some sleights on the dvd that you will learn that you can use for other stuff.
I feel that DG´s magic is great and its really fun to performe but its nothing that i would performe everyday, its more fun stuff to performe while you hang out with your friends, but thats just my opinion.
