Hey pretty good. Yes it's definately presentable. But the handling could still be smoother in parts.

I was worried that bowl wasn't going to be big enough though :? :wink:

From watching that clip, I guess that you have not bought the DVD correct?

It was good, but could have been much better. You need to show the can more, and your shake so that you can here the coin at the bottom was totally wrong.

Definately buy the DVD (and if you did, practice some more :wink:)

IS it only me but I find that YouTube streams very slowly for me, despite a 1Mb broadband connection.

Yeh, YouTube can be pretty slow sometimes.

Nicely handled there, although has been said, a little practice and refining a couple of the moves and that will be excellent!

Hey, I'd like to make a point about these kind of tricks which has probably been discussed before. If you haven't got the trick down to a T, don't post the video on the internet OR remove the video if somebody gives you a poor review.

This is because I have been thinking about purchasing this trick on DvD and after watching your video I now know how it is performed.

Many magicians are losing money because beginners like us are posting tricks which are not upto scratch and viewers are figuring out how they are done.

I don't call myself a magician, merely an amatuer, but I hope I've made some kind of valid point here. Keep practicing though!

Mucho love to all.

Nicely said, i totally understand what you mean. People are so excited when they receive the dvd,gimmick,prop or whatever it is your buying or learning, that they dont practice it enough to get it at that top level, it should come second nature. As the Proffesor once said, "you got to make the moves look natural" im not sure if these were his exact words but you see my point.
Its like when your driving a car, at first it is really hard, all that concentration on what your doing and looking out for others, but once you know how to do it, you just do it,you dont have too think about when to change gear, it just happens.

I dont really like it when people post pointless poor peformed videos, but then again its all a bit a fun...... Isnt it???????????

come on people give me a break, it was just practising, now i know what to clean up on. Also of all the videos I have watched, I know its a DL because I know what to look for, or a switch. If you do a DL to a magician, they get onto it. if you do a DL to a normal person, they never get onto it.
Thanx anyhow

This was totally out of order. The video was not pointless, it was so that he could get tips to make it better. TM does not take kindly to remarks like that.

I do agree with the rest, practice more and it will be good :D

I don't think the performance was poor. Like anything else, it can always use refinement. Saying that it was pointless, though - just not needed.

Deej - I figured out how to perform this trick when I watched Criss Angel perform it on TV - does that mean he should take that episode off the air?

He doesn't blatantly expose the method. Beyond that, he has no reason to take the video down.

If you figure out a trick, good for you- keep it to yourself. You don't have to go around telling people you figured it out, you'll get nothing from it. If your intention is to get attention from other people because you've figured out a trick, save it. Personally, i feel that you're only making a fool out of yourself. If you see a magic performace, just enjoy it and/or give encouraging comments. Do you realy have so much spare time to use busting your brains so you can show off to other people you figured out a trick?
