He has tried to update some of the effects with some fresh ideas. Richard doesn't agree with everything in the book, has his own ideas on approaches and modernization to a variety of tricks. Introduction / Discussion of the Book (9 mins) Introduction to Corinda's 13 Steps to Mentalism - 2 mins I don't feel this distracts much from the videos, and really enjoyed watching his take on various effects.
He does 'uh' and 'um' a lot more than usual, pace a bit much and doesn't seem 100% comfortable, but he does address this in a reply on the Cafe.
I've seen some discussion about Richard being a bit out of his element in these, which is somewhat true. Overall, the videos run over 12 hours in length and are filmed in a small studio complete with the large eyeballs from the book in the backdrop. The video and sound are of course exceptional, as with all products they create. This is from L&L so you have the usual overreactions, cute girls with cleavage and lots of skin plus the cheesy music between segments. Purchase the book here for $22.50 after discount : (sadly this is L&L's youtube channel with a HORRIBLE quality demo)
