Here's my presentation of Jay Sankey's Nailed.

Ok, pros and cons. The main problem was with the presentation, you have a nice natural style and it started well but you lost the pacing after about 30 seconds and my interest slipped. Clearly it's a simple effect that could be done very quickly so you've made a creditable effort to make it into a proper performance piece, unfortunately I think some rescripting is in order to make it flow along nicely without becoming boring.

Mechanically I don't know how the effect works except for the force but I'm assuming the picture is gaffed in some way and your handling of the photo was a little bit unnatural. Nothing funny as such but just some minor repostitioning that didn't quite look as it would if you were simply holding the picture up for inspection. However, as I mentioned I don't know how the trick operates so I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely in which case well done!

Overall a great effect and well handled in my opinion, the enthusiastic comment on youtube certainly thinks so. Keep up the good work.
