This is purely my opinion, but I'm not sure that the whole "We are raising funds to release this film" thing is on the up and up. I went to a showing of this last year to: #1 see it on the big screen (after having watched the superb video that was thrust into my hands) and #2 have a chance to meet Hal Blaine and Don Randi The evening was great, but I get the sense that Danny T is milking this for everything that it's worth. He does numerous events all over the country and peppers each with auctions, merchandise sales and a price tag affixed to everything. I just felt a bit like I needed a shower after meeting him, ya know? Carol is featured in a very positive light in the film, but now radicaly opposes it's existance, claiming that promises and guarantees were broken. Her view is backed up by Earl Palmer and a few others who participated. However, Carol has her own issues with rewritten history... There is just something a bit shady about it all... However, the film is excellent and I did get a chance to meet Hal and Don. Both were super cool and Hal is a riot. He's like that crazy old uncle at the wedding with no filter on what he says or does anymore. I have a signed drum head hanging on the wall next to my 'puter. That's my $.02....
