On another site, I was working with a guy, trying to get him to look a bit more natural with a TT and I just couldn't explain it. So, I talked to my computer literate friends and finally got a guy who could actually make a vid and we uploaded it onto You Tube.

Anyway, it's rather comical and I figured I'd share it with you guys, 'cuz you might just get a kick out of it.

The credits got goofed up a bit, so they're not in quite the order that they should have been - just overlook that part! Also, the song may be found offensive to some...Just tell yourself, "It's a funny song. It's a funny song," and all will be well.

The vid has been working on and off (You Tube has some kind of clean up process going on, so I hope that you'll be able to view this).

Smooth as a baby's *rse! it's just that simple.

That was fantastic, I like it

good TT work...but you shouldn´t repeat it that often...imho.

I enjoyed that - music and all!

Nice Dr Hook are quality! how about a super fast cups and balls routine set to Monteray Jack???

Thanks for the comments, folks!

I couldn't agree more. I wasn't doing it as I would normally do it. I was trying to teach another guy how to smooth out his TT work. What you see is really nothing more than an excersize to use when learning the TT because you can keep going back and forth with the change-over pass (vanish, produce, vanish, produce, and on and on).

I'm on a 56k line, so I had to have a friend and his little brother come over and film it, then they had to take the footage home and load it up (because it would've taken me forever). So, it is the one and only vid of me you're ever going to see!

But, again, I can't stress enough that this is not a routine that I would ever do in front of an audience nor do I recommend that anyone else do such a thing. Margera is 100% correct.

Again, thank you all for the kind comments.

Just to say thank you all for the kind comments, once again, and let you know that the vid has been taken down.

From the beginning, it was meant to be nothing more than a lesson in natural handling of a TT. But, the repetetive nature of it left any layman with only one guess as to what the method could be and it was never my intention to expose the TT. Had I been able to put this up in a magicians only viewing area, I would have left it.

So, thank you all for viewing and your kind comments made me feel very good!

Mike.
