Not to nitpick, but you may want to consider fixing the spelling of "Beginning" from "begging" -- as a matter of professionalism, if nothing else. The sun in the background is rather annoying as well.

As far as the effect itself, I'm sorry, but it doesn't really impress me. I've not attempted to smash a can that's still full, personally, but it's not something that I would imagine to be out of the realm of possibility.

I prefer some of the stuff I saw on your other video to this, by far, but Good luck with it.

I'm a bit unsure about where the "magic" is taking place.

I agree, tidy up your video a bit - for example the little grammatical and spelling errors at the start and also make sure we can properly hear what you're saying.

Like Tony I sort of see what you're doing, like a superhuman feat, but I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do as I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would be too hard.

I agree with everyone. Now if you slowly did it between your palms id think it was much cooler.

Also you need to duck the music down about 6 db more when you are in the body of the trick. (sorry, I am an audio engineer. Just make it quiter, otherwise it is a bit annoying.)

And as I have said before you need to work on your vocal inflection. It just sounds thin and dull. Put some amazement and wonder into your speech.

maybe some sort of do as i do routine would prove this :) I would think its pretty hard to crush a full can with out knowing the method!

I challenge ye to a duel! :lol: I don't know...I'm not entirely sold on it though it is a nice idea. As i1011i said, between the palms would be much more impressive as it is conceivable that it could be done with a hefty stomp.

Like the comment about ending clean when there's a big pool of drink around you :lol:

Like others have stated before me, I really fail to see where the magic is. If you were to crush it with one finger then that would be magical...But stomping a can is something everyone can do.

Thanks,

Well, not "anyone" could stop a full, sealed unopened can of soda. To a degree, it is quite a feat. (go on, try it.) The problem is, it just isn't much of an interesting one. And it has a fatal flaw in it that I will not point out to you directly. Let's just say it has todo with clean up. ;).

Another idea. What if you stomped, and coke sprayed everywhere, but no can was to be found! Thats another that would make me go :shock: !

To that I would exclaim, watashi wakarimasen!

i'd hate to burst everyone's bubble. but, you can't stop a sealed full can.
i actually tried it, and really hurt my leg.

in my opinion i think you should remake the video. ditch the music. and before YOU crush the can, try to get the spectator to crush it by standing oni t, or another can.

then it would be much more effect.

but i liked it :)

Yes you're right, it's damn hard to do! I made some impression but never completely flattened it. DEFINITELY have the other person try first then to prevent any doubts!
