No care has been taken in the conversion of this book into the eBook /electronic version. None of the images are in the correct position, and appear to be randomly placed throughout the text. This makes for difficult reading in trying to match the description with the action to do. Full page images have been shrunk to a small size, and so lose much of their detail. Its a shame, as the content would appear to be good otherwise, but this just makes it unworkable. Is it possible for a refund ?
I have heard of Robert Dante's name before and was glad to see a book by him. The written material in the book is humorus and striaght forward; especially good for those who would perfer to be self-taught first before training with another professional. Though there are not as many images as I thought there would be, the images that are there are simple and detailed. Overall, the book is well laid out. I would recommend this book to others.
if you are a beginner too whip cracking then this book will be of great help. very clear drawings and pictures combined with the easy explanations. basics but also more advanced tricks. so if you want to know about whip cracking & whip tricks makes this the great book.
Bought this as a gift to go with a whip I bought for my brother. From the pages I read and things I seen while flipping through before wrapping it I think it will be able to give him some extremely good points since he is a beginner.
This is a good, useful book for anyone who is interested in whip cracking. It does contain the same issues as other books written on how to do something physical, such as murky descriptions. However, this book does contain helpful information, and when used together with YouTube, a reader can gain better understanding of the material. Unfortunately, the book doesn't cover care and usage of nylon whips, only leather. But most of the basic information is the same for both.
I've been selling nylon whips online for over 12 years and making them for over two decades. Mr. Dante was one of my early customers after I established an online presence and still uses a pair of my whips in his shows today. (I'm honored to be named on page 120 of this book!) :)I have a signed copy Mr. Dante sent me as a gift and I am very impressed with the content and illustrations. I recommend this book to my whip buying customers on my website.This book should be on the shelf of every whip enthusiast!
Great book really explains how to use a whip in detail plus taking care of it and repairing it in detail
Just what is needed to inspire you to achieve your goal. There is very practical advice and illustrations to help you understand what and how to do each trick crack.The only thing left to do is to practice, practice, practice.
