I bought this new at the time and have kept it stored ever since. The discs have almost no scratches. ZERO MAGIC STARTERS SYSTEM This is a set of 6 beginner-level magic lecture DVDs from Tsuyoshi, a professional magician and magic lecture instructor. The explanations are very thorough, and the fact that they are in Japanese is a plus. You can understand even the subtle nuances with certainty. Cards, coins, bills, rubber bands, tissues, rope, cigarettes, makeshift cups & balls, etc... Thorough explanations of "65 essential magic routines"! Please refer to the images for details of the works. Through these 65 routines, you can learn the basic knowledge, techniques, and procedures that are "essential to master" as a magician, including card magic, coin magic, and everyday item magic. It may be lacking for intermediate to advanced users, but I think it's a wonderful introductory material for those aiming to move beyond the beginner level. Of course, these are all magic tricks that can be performed in front of an audience and get a good reaction.
