I've read all 3 books! and i would say that the books are filled with tricks! LOTS of them that you wouldnt know where to start out from. Depending on how u normally work on new tricks, its a good book that touches on the magic but unfortunately not on presentations. Over all i'll give it a 3 1/2 over 5 rating!

Hmmm... I don't know. I've heard many good magicians giving lots of credits to this book.
I still have to check it out myself though.

Hey Afoi
Here's your answer about Paul Harris's DVDs posted by Mercury52
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure many of you AOA fans have heard that Paul Harris has a new DVD set in the works. Here's the latest from Tim Trono on the subject, taken from his post at the cafe. Thanks to Tim for providing some news for these much anticipated DVDs.
"There has been some talk/rumors on new DVDs by Paul Harris and I wanted to give official word on this exciting project. The rumors ARE true. Paul is actively working on a new DVD project entitled "True Astonishments".
Paul and I discussed it last year at length and Paul decided to make a DVD series that would be the end for all, quite possibly his last "big" project. Paul hired a great producer to ensure these will be the absolute best they can be- very cutting edge. True Astonishments was originally going to contain all of the material in Art of Astonishment. Paul then decided to shift the project so that it is all A++ material with absolutely no filler. Thus he has reworked some of the better items in AOA, added new items that are really magnificent, and received some contributions that will blow your socks off. It has been narrowed down to about 70 or 80 items and all will be of the absolute highest caliber.
The DVD set will be out most likely around NEXT September. Paul is spending ALL of his time working on this huge and important project and you will not be disappointed. There are many amazing surprises that will be announced closer to that time. Start saving your money now. This could be one of the most important and exciting projects in a LONG time. As it gets closer we will release more details. We just felt it was important to give everyone a heads up on this."

I don't think that whatever Paul Harris comes out his products, you will disappoint by his creations of magic.
I regard him as one of the most creative magician. His stuffs are among the best. ^_^
