Educating Archer DVD

I picked up a copy of "Educating Archer", a two DVD set of comedy mentalist John Archer. I wondered how good it would be since it was $44 and the contents list seemed to feature some pretty standard stuff.

I have to say that its turned out to be the best magic DVD I have seen in a long time and is worth every last cent.

It also helps answer Chris Mitchell's (the $220 rip off on a stick man who admits he's simply cashing in) question about what price you put on a routine. John Archers handing of the tossed out deck is on this DVD along with ten other superb pieces. Which means it cost me $4.40 for a full, professional routine. I reckon that's far better value.

The DVD's don't have the best production value in the world, they look like they were filmed in a church hall and the interview section just comes across as two fat guys and a chipmunk having a chat and trying to be funny. But that's my only complaint - the content is great and contains full routines.

The best routines are probably the tossed out deck, the magic square (although the performance is made mainly by Johns individual style), collard, Spelling test and Chinese choice.

Nine full routines, one cute ring vanish all for $44 - Chris Mitchell will be turning in his grave.
