It's not cards, it's not coins... so what is it?

Well it's sort of the cut and restored rope trick...

But watch it and see


Obviously this would work better on a stage, but hey. We all gotta start somewhere eh?

Hmmm... well i get about a third of the way through the video and then it starts to buffer it again and always seems to get stuck on 43% buffering.. could just be my mac screwing around with me but i dont know....

Hmmm. Seems to be working fine for me...

Hehe i liked that, an interesting spin on an old effect...

That would work brilliantly as a comedy stage trick

And nice patter by the way

Thanks

I like that trick, and i had a microphone and mic stand around so i thought i'd give it a whirl

Glad you enjoyed it!

Same problem here, just stops part way through. Macs can do that sometimes .

Sure looks like a good piece of magic, have to try again later. It'd be sweet if the sound cut out altogether when you cut the cord .

Shame. Thats why you need a PC

Dunno if you can see it on the video or not, but I actually carry on talking into the microphone after I cut the cord. It just can't be heard, because obviously, the mic isn't connected anymore

The bit I managed to see was really good.

Hehe, I think not .

Cool. Nice touch about the sound problems. I shall have to try again and watch it all the way through.

I must say that due to the beauty of owning a PC i was able to watch that all the way through and I found it thoroughly entertaining. Great little comedy routine there.

Nicely done, but I'm afraid Paul Zenon beat you to it Ecko!

That said, it does work surprisingly well on stage. I saw him at the Ealing Comedy Festival last year doing this, and he even touched the wires to complete the circuit, and we could hear him again.

He then restored the cable back to it's former glory, and continued with the gig.

It's definately worth doing on a crowd if you get the chance mate!

good work there man, i knew it was coming but still found it hilarious!
2 thumbs up!

hey that was a nice idea to a classic effect, Well done

Indeed he did
Great fun, and if I'm ever on stage I shall open my show with it
