Hello
I agree with Dude's message below. David promsed
us tapes with his GREATEST Illusions on them. Not
his newest - even though those are are also great.
David wanted all of us to have videos without
commercial interuption - just like his onstage
shows. Now, I personally think that is a great
idea. I see no cons in this deal. Granted, I do
have everything else on my own tapes, off the t.v.,
but the truth is some of them are getting worn
from being played.
The other thing is, David DID NOT have to do
this at all. He CHOSE to.

You're right.I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with money.

I am glad you are happy that I responded, but please realize that my statement was sarcastic.This video is solely for the purpose of generating profit. Period. It was not released because David wanted his fans to have his TV special without commercial interruption. It was released to make money.
You are fooling yourself to think otherwise (if you do).

I do not agree. David/CBS should have called this video collection "15 Years of Magic". I would have still purchased it knowing that I am getting a real cool box design, a pristine picture with no commericials etc. BUT, to call it Illusions and promote it as something completely different was wrong. I agree that his greatest illusions are on the tape and that is what was advertised, but c'mon.. I have "15 Years" on video already -- sure it's off TV, but the way the illusions are presented are exactly the same. I was expecting that they would go back and grab scenes from previous specials... that's not the problem. But I did not expect the whole "15 Years" special identical to what was broadcast. I AM disappointed. Feel cheated? Yes. Happy to have the video? Yes. And I would buy every single special released on VHS or DVD... but don't mislead me into buying something new and getting a rerun. The box design was the main illusion... 2 tapes... you'd expect four hours of material (what I paid for) - not two. Shame on everyone involved.
