800 Pound Move Monkey

Postby Brett_Bishop » Feb 15th, '10, 08:40



So when I was over in the UK a couple of guys told that this was their favorite board for putting up new ideas because the people here were honest.

That is all I ask...

Any advice, criticism or credit knowledge is appreciated.

Hello there!

Very good I thought. I especially liked the one handed biddle pass. But you don't learn from being told what is good ;)

I shall, if you wish, write up a mini critique later this afternoon. I'm currently on my phone which overcomplicates typing!

But good on the whole, in short

Love

Chris

1st was good - you could see "something" was happening to the top of the deck...but what, i couldnt tell you...very good though...

2nd - made your right hand a bit too claw-like...which is common for the move involved

3rd - nice, very richard turner...

4th and 5th - the mavericks were ok...i'd imagine they'd be nice changes inbetween other work...

6th - very nice, again could kinda see something...

the passes - the first was ok, the second flashed too much..much preferred the third one...

the biddle pass once i'd imagine is very angle-sensitive...

vertical centre steal - i'd need to see it within the context of a routine to comment properly i think

no back force - flashed!

the palm and production - i'd have to see it within the context of an effect to see how the body movement fitted in...i liked the lennartesque appearance of the card

in fact, i'd like to see all these moves within the context of proper effects, as watching them on their own, you'll always spot something...and its obvious you're talented with the old pasteboards...i think thats the key to a good sleight, to see how it works through a presentation, only then is it good/useful...

I thought it was a very nice video. A lot of the moves I would deem pretty impractical but that's the beauty of being a move monkey, it's just basically a collection that takes up no space!

I thought the No Back Force was definitely the best of the bunch. If you work a little on the spread, it would look incredible!
