Hi all,

I would appreciate some input on my performances. All opinions (good or bad) are welcome. If you see a better way of doing it, please tell me as that is how a become a better wanna be magician. Thanks!

I've PM'ed you about Sinful. But one thing I can say publically about it is that is was really dark...so...Might want to brighten it up a little... :)

The hanky Vanish was well done. Nothing wrong there in my opinion.

Revolution was good too. The reveal that the coin was gone was great.

All together, it was quite good. Keep it up!

:wink:

Thanks,
Dominick

Yeah, unfortunately, I have a rather poor camera to record with and that contributed heavily to the poor lighting. I appreciate your input and thanks for the PM. :D

Cheers

Overall, well performed. Dark video aside it was good, I like your style and look.

PM me for some cool tips on Sinful, namely finishing touches, and revealing the coin in the can!

Keep up the good work

Very nice, only comment on the hanky piece - the vanish bit was well done, yes, but the reappearance could have been a little bit more subtle, if you get what I mean. Some of the moves looked a bit suspect.

They look very well performed, the hanky vanish especially. I really liked the half dollar vanish as well, but mainly as I have never seen the trick before. Nice choice of music as well ;)

Good job!
Just one thing with the coid through soda can, though. To me the thing that makes the trick so fantastic is that the soda can can be examined and remain in view at all times, so letting it out of view while you show the glass takes someting away from the potential power of the effect.
If you really want to show the glass (and to be honest, I wouldn't bother), then show it first. This will allow you to keep the soda can in view at all times.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the input. Really, I should have just put the can and glass on a table so they were in view at ALL times and this would have solved not having enough hands to hold everything. Good points by all.

Thank you!

Hah, just found these, good work again Dark (or should i say 'Silver') Wizard. They are excellent. I liked revolution especially, i have this trick and find it rather akward. I watched your vid and didn't spot where the coin went, so i re-wound it and AAAAAH! i see! :oops:
