You do an excellent job of explaining everything assuming we have no prior knowledge, but still not over explaining or talking down to your audience. Amazing video, wonderful charisma

Honestly Doug you are one of the only magicians that fools me every single time. And you are a great teacher. Keep up the good work.😁

Doug thanks for the recommendation on the book, found a copy on eBay for $5 w/fs. I'm really getting into this. I actually pulled off my first 'magic trick' in front of a group last night at a party doing the 4 way out deck that I built. It left everyone baffled because I hid the cards around the room when I first got there. I even fooled the expert. You know the type, has an answer for every trick. For example the 5 cards cut in half (S-o-r-t T-h-e M-a-g-i-c C-a-r-d-s) "Oh that's done using a formula, my dad showed me that where you don't need cards!" "David Blain has nothing to worry about!" Well thank you A-h for ruining it for everyone else. He's still scratching his head. I'm having a blast with your tutorials and watching you work, man you are smooth! Even knowing what you are doing, it's hard to or even catching the move. Do you have a video on shooting a card? I can't find it if you do. I've watched others show how it's done, but they don't show you how to correct mistakes. Because of an injury that I acquired overseas in the 60s my left hand is functional but slow reaction and descent control in the right. My problem is consistently doing it right. I know I need practice to build muscle memory, but I don't want to practice it wrong. Everyone seems to do it differently. I feel like I'm squeezing the friggen deck before I can get a card to shoot. Any suggestions? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Until I get that mastered everything else is on hold. Love your videos.Thanks Will

Just as an FYI, I bought a comp of the "Mark Wilson Magic Complete Course in Magic" book on eBay a month or so ago. Hardcover, and in brand new condition...for $4.88 DELIVERED. And when I got it, it was indeed a brand new copy. It took about 8 days to get to me. There were plenty of others in conditions ranging from "Good" to "Like New."

[JCMagic]

Fantastic!! Fabulous!! Just plain Awesome!!

[sarcasteriskchuck]

The first book I bought for magic. Much knowledge in it - glad you are deciphering it for us. I will be watching all of these. Thanks

[ashenmehdi]

You said You would teach us things and you DIDDD🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
Love ya man by the way your first long video of teaching was awesome
Loved it all the way through♠️♥️♣️♦️

I've always been sceptical about a Charlier cut as the card is visible in the middle of the pack.

[DecoyAUT]

Very interesting that Doug messes up some moves. This shows, that all his moves are totally muscle memory, and the more he needs to concentrate what he is doing, the more error prone it is. Usually it just flows.

[danydrazo]

Your just incredibile. What is the best deck for beginners to your mind? Please give me your opinion. I just subbed!
