This is our first DVD release so we decided to release something really old. Huh
Wait a second This isnt the newest slickest hottest bunch of tricks What gives
Well as we explain in the intro of the new video one of the things that is hurting magic today is the loss of history.
Certainly in the past year we have lost greats such as the recent losses of Larry White and Ali Bongo not to mention many others. The new magic generation is largely exposed to their ideas through DVDs and alas often these are selling the newest slickest most cutting edge routines. Sometimes they really ARE other times they are re-inventing of people that have come before them- knowingly or not. In short a lot of folks are not learning their HISTORY
Well back in the 80s Ron Dayton was doing a lecture series based on his newly released book Hung Up On Ropes. As a present for some of his friends Ron and his Wife Susan created a home movie version of the lecture.
It is jammed packed of create and interesting rope ideas routines and methods that will be new to many of you. Of course... this is an 80s home movie. So it is what it is in terms on film quality. Bad light kinda grainy you remember your vacation videos right
On the other hand we are LUCKY. Ron is still with us. He has had health issues over the years which means he can no longer perform- and writes with great effort. But he is here still contributes to various forums and is as creative sharing and caring as ever So here is a chance to see him at his best and learn from him as well as take minute to drop him a note.
Now in this day of slickest hottest best-est- we HAVE tried to upgrade the video. We have digitally enhanced and cleaned the footage as much as possible. AND when we felt you just could not see a specific detail we have filmed NEW High Def close-up footage and inset it into the original video.
