Modern coin magic

Hey
I need to make some decisions, I am thinking about getting numerous dvd's and one that has struck my fancy is J.B Bobo's modern coin magic dvds. I got the book a bit back but I have found it difficult to learn from so I was thinking of getting the dvd, What do people think of the dvd is it good?

And any tips on how to learn tricks from the book should I find I trick I want to learn and then back to the sleights padges or what?

I have the book, though not the DVDs. I'd say the book is pretty well written, though I'll admit it intimidated me when i first got it. I'd say first get down all the sleights (or most) before you even attempt to learn the routines, cause he refers back to them a lot. Also, try learning a simple routine (such as winged silver) first so you can get a feel for how the tricks are described, then you can go on to more complicated stuff.
