Allan Ackerman is one of the great card workers of the last two decades. So why don’t we hear his name more often? He has, in recent years, been more reclusive on the magic scene, but that all changes now, thanks to this quality DVD set. Nearly three hours of footage.
If you are looking for a stellar “best of” primer to Allan’s work, this is it. If you want to learn his work on the Zarrow, this is it. If you want to learn lots and lots and lots of tiny finesse points that will improve your magic, this is the set. Paul Kozak seems an odd choice for host, and there are glitches in the filming as it was originally a live lecture series, but these small issues aside, the set is really great.
