Breakthrough is simplicity. You borrow a coin and a can. You then slam the coin through the bottom of the can, then hand it out. That's it. In my opinion, simple magic is the best, and Breakthrough delivers the best. If you haven't heard the Mengel Brothers' inspirational story, check it out here - Mengel Brothers - Do What You Love or Die Trying.
The method is so simple so it gives room for you to tweak it to match your personal performance style. The DVD gives two ways to push the coin through - a slam and a slow melt. My personal favourite is the slam, but if you want to hear the EXACT moment the coin falls through, then the melt is for you. Clean up is really easy and you are given several methods so you can match it to your situation. My overall thoughts on the method is this - clean, direct and super easy to do.
The DVD...... WOW! It has been a long time since I have seen a DVD this in-depth. Everything is covered in so much detail, which leaves you 100% confident to perform the effect without fear of failure. The DVD menu is incredible, you can find whatever you need in seconds, due to the subsections. Everything is well produced and Johannes teaches everything in great detail. You also get some bonus sections which goes over performing surrounded (with performances on multiple angles), tips and troubleshooting. You get so much value for money on this DVD, with no stone left unturned. You also get a link to a bonus website, with two bonus methods of Breakthrough and a section to contact Johannes with ideas, questions or any help needed regarding the effect. This was a great addition!
Overall, the Mengel Brothers have succeeded! This DVD is an incredible first instalment in their journey. I look forward to seeing more from these two! I think $30 is a reasonable price, due to all the work put into this single release. In my opinion, there is no way you can go wrong with this effect. Well done guys!! 10/10
