David has won lots of balloon twisting competitions in Europe. He's English and he's the real thing. His tapes are very straight forward. It's him with a table in front and a curtain in back. He shows you each bubble and what to do with it. The sound is kind of squeaky and some shots could be clearer but he is showing you real world figures he uses at work and in competition. His pacing is good. He gets a little faster with each tape until he is working pretty much at speed on his 5th tape. David's knowledge is encyclopedic. From Poodles to Fruit Baskets, Walk Around Cars to a full size Carousel, David has done it all. It's really quite amazing. These videos are in NTSC format |
