I don't think they will be too expensive. Most likely they will be under 10$. Judging from what I know, anyway.

The last time I checked, all the purchases were less than $10, while a few of them were VERY cheap considering the contents I believe it has.

Probably not at the moment. As the Admin said before, DSZ's currently announced releases should be first. Only Mark knows what will come out after that and when

Yeah, but it's not exactly the way it should be. Some of the audio files are somewhat distorted so I either have to manually fix it (which takes a whole lot of time and might not work out well) or Albert need to find the cause and retake these (which obviously takes some time too).

Sorry, it won't be released again. At least, not within the next year.

Apart from the 'Repulse Control', we have yet to start filming them. Next week, our film room will be done and that's where all of those releases will be filmed so that's when we can start. We already got the scripts ready for most of them though.

technically, you can accomplish just about any sleights no matter how hard in a matter of weeks, some of the harder sleights that will require long term practice no matter how good you are at magic might take up to 3 months, but it's really a matter of HOW you use the sleights, you can learn the globe and then master it 100%, but if that's all you're gonna do then it's not going to help much in performances

BTW, the amount of time you have to put in to be able to apply a sleight to your performance is about half a year( you should be able to master lots of sleights by then), if you're smart enough, i wasn't so it took me a year to be able to apply my sleight to effects that i made up

Globe is a hard coin trick (for more advanced coin magicians). So ideally, if you are persistent with your practices you should be able to do globe in a month or 2. But it will take you much longer to master the slieght.

what about "Attracted" Mark, and the phantom change? Is that being released ever? I cannot believe that On Top of the World won't ever be released. Can I meet you one day??

'Attracted' might be released as an Exposure video someday. What's the 'Phantom Change' though? If you mean the vanish, 'The Phantom', then the answer to that is no as that gimmick is not worth it regardless of the effect being this visual and even quite performable (not quite as much as some of my other vanish gimmicks though).

My 'Biddle Trick' will most likely end up as one of the Mystery Sessions, as we planned to have it be the same price anyways. It should be one of the first 5 sessions. When it will be out is still a question but we hope most sessions to be out before the end of the year so let's say within the next two months.

How come, that you have to produce it all over again, resulting in me waiting for it for over nine months now?

There are a couple of answers to that, but let me start by saying I am very sorry and apologize for the terribly long wait. We never thought or expected it to take this long and although we do our very best, there is not much we can do these days to make the production go any faster as for these DVDs.

Having said that, I have spent days and weeks in total making up with buyers over Skype or Tinychat, showing them what they will be getting. Please feel free to add me to Skype or send me a message as for that anytime as well.

To answer the actual question, although the 'Practical Pass' was shown and taught on the 'King of the Pass' DVD, it was taught on there as part of a series of techniques and not in as much detail as it should and will be taught as a product on its own. The 'King of the Pass' will not be re-released for that would be unfair for all of its owners who purchased a very limited copy, and its format and content is totally different than that of the 'Practical Pass' as well.

Also, our previous DVDs were produced at, and by, a studio and printed/pressed by one-and-the-same DVD production company. In the meantime, this DVD company went bankrupt and we can't hire the studio again for that this has cost and would also now cost a lot of money. Unlike back then, I have to make a living all by myself too now. It's either the way it is or the DVDs would cost about twice as much for all these extra costs coming along, and there already are a lot more costs made than usually and originally would've been the case.

Shortly said, the reason it takes this long is that there have been a lot of unfortunate and unexpected events taking place since the pre-orders started, from being forced to move places, to three computer crashes (two of which essential for the DVD productions), and from the DVD production company going bankrupt to Google Adsense and YouTube taking away one of our major incomes and marketing tools.

Sorry once again and thank you for your understanding. Don't forget to hook up on Skype or to send me a message of when you have time for Tinychat.
