Thanks for the tips guys... yeah it's possible... a little tricky, but possible.
Once I have this one all set and ready to go, and the matches appearing, I'll give it a go :D

And Mini, the other 8 are all in my ears, don't worry

You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

it looks very good. not sure if the semi "hiding" of the box at the end is necessary or not (assume not) so perhaps try and avoid that but over all i think it's cool.

ok unfortunatelly i think i know how you did it but it might just have been the video...i like the trick, but to be honest i think when you tip the matches to show everyone that their in there that none fall on top of the others...thats my first clue to maybe the matches being glued on or something, but im not trying to guess how you did it just noticing some things in the video that you might be able to improve...also in the video your farther away when your showing that the matches are gone...very understandable though seeing as how you are showing the audience something...and also it might just be the video a shadow differ from the match holder to the thing covering the matches (possibly), from straight across to a slanted angle...like i say might be the camera but i can kind of tell a change in color in the holder as well...and a kind of gap in between the thing covering them (if there is one) and the "wall" of the match holder...but all in all this is a very nice trick that im sure maybe at a small distance and to others that arent inspecting it would be very good...but still looks really good...and also try not to squeeze that hard on the end not covering matches...it bent when ordinarilly the whole thing would bend the part covering the matches didnt bend...still looks good tho lol

Thanks for the comments. Yes the video isn't great, as was previously mentioned, this video shows a prototype of the final thing.
The prototype was not of great quality as I'd spent a while making it, it was early hours of the morning, I hadn't slept, blah blah blah and all that jazz.

However, the final version is in the "testing stages" as I like to call it. Which basically means "prototype = ok. Final idea = possibly better. Make final idea, see if it's better"

Hoping to have the final thing done by next week at some point.
Keep your eyes open guys :D
