REVIEWER'S PERSONAL OPINION. I love this DVD. I am a seasoned twister and I found cool stuff here. I have added several things to my standard repertoire. The butterfly and the sports figure are awesome. Joe has a very encouraging style. This is good for both the new and the experienced twister. It is well worth the price.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES: This DVD is complete. You could go from being a beginner learning to blow up a balloon to a rather successful twister with this DVD. It is well filmed, with good sound and it is easy to find what you want. If there is a weakness it is its length. It was a major time commitment the first time I viewed it.
WHAT I LIKED AND DIDN'T LIKE: The figures are awesome. The motorcycle rider and sports figures are easy to do but very impressive. Joe's Rose is another great addition to any flower collection. I wasn't too impressed with the advice section for making big big figures.
