Penguin keep selling shit

Looking at the top ten new arrivals at Penguin Magic shows that they really know how to market some utter shit.

The Ultimate Coin in the Balloon with Michael Bairefoot (DVD) - This looks to be another Magic Makers DVD based on the black background, standard card table, dimly lit room approach to shooting video. For just $30 you get to see a Redneck hick in a suit stuff a coin in a balloon and swirl it about. You also get some rope stuff, which from the demo would all appear to be non-original stolen material, a linking cards which is obviously Paul Harris's Immaculate Connection, 'the bairefoot force' which looks like a classic force and probably is, and what looks like the most sad attempt at a torn and restored card ever. Why is this being sold at all?


Bill in Kiwi with Carl Cloutier - Take a common trick like Bill to lemon, change the fruit to a Kiwi and you got a fucking product to sell to magicians because most of them are gullible little shits. Well done Carl.

The PASS with Randy Wakeman (DVD) - If you want to learn how to do a pass that involves tipping the deck back and forth like you're having some kind of episode then this is the DVD for you. I watched the demo and couldn't believe anyone would want to learn a pass off this nasal sounding prick.

The Hunter Shuffle - Do the zarrow shuffle, change its name, put it on DVD, $20 please. This is just plain stealing.

No wonder Jay Sankey has found new dealers to sell his shit, even he doesn't want to be associated with blatent shit like this.
