yeah, buy the encyclopedia of cigarette tricks, a tt and spend about 12 months practicing. a tip i picked up from lawrence, practice with rolled up playing cards cut to the length of cigarettes, saves needless wear and tear on those beautiful white sticks of awesomeness.

fairly inexpensive moneywise, probably cost you about £20 tops including a cigarette

and this video is much better:

glad to hear it. I myself have bought this book and am really enjoying it. The information in this book is enough to keep you doing cigarette magic for pretty much your whole life, in my limited experience

here's a link for the book, not where I bought it from but I wish I had, as it's a lot cheaper and there is free worldwide shipping on orders over $40 (chuck in a couple of TTs and some packs of cards and you can do that easily)

I can thoroughly recommend the site having recently received a lovely big parcel from them full of goodness :lol:

I think if you are asking questions like that, maybe this isn't for you just yet.

As you can see, the forum automatically takes care of the full wording - for obvious reasons. And yes, you're quite right about the meaning :wink: !

Cyril's [the second clip—the first one isn't Cyril, I believe] handling is very smooth, very nice. And the good news is it's quite easily attainable with practice.

Mr 'slick' Takayama does it again. (Although, we've seen this clip before here I think)

Indeed, it is a beautiful piece of work. I especialy liked the use of a TT, it's what inspred me that they can be effectively used to perform miracles with a little practice. his handling of it is the best I've seen (that I know of). The rest of it is, as well, brilliant and an inspiration.

If you're brave enough, Tom Mullica shows how to do the finale without a TT.

Also, Mullica's work on the handling of cigarettes makes Cyril's stuff look like child's play !

It's a bit like comparing Marlo to the Buck twins ;)

I'll be sure to check it out, I've only seen Mullicas swallowing routine before (which I have no intention of even attempting!)
