PROS
Paul Green is a wonderful magician and lecturer.
CONS
However, these lecture notes are... not so good.
The opener effect he explains is a color changing knife. While it can be a great routine, fewer magicians do it and effects with knives or fire are less acceptable in strolling situations.
While there are seven routines, I don't think I would use any of them. Perhaps you might, but I think that if you are selecting from the universe of effects to perform, these seven may not be any of your selections. For example, he does a two copper and silver routine. some may opt to do this, but I personally would opt to go with something like Mark Mason's double deception coins. Another example is his card to wallet routine. While it too is good, when I was exposed to Shawn Farquhar's C2W and the thinking behind it, that routine and prop seemed much more powerful.
VERDICT
If you get a chance, attend one of his lectures, they are great, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing this.
They really don't go into any helpful depth on key subjects related to strolling.
