Errmm...... I know this doesn't sound very professional but I can only think of 1 thing to say...... WTF !!!! :oops:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Yes... I was gonna say that too... didn't think it was appropriate though. But I think in this case, it is lol.

I know kinda how he does the first two parts, but not the last...

There was a gimmick I read a review of in Online-Visions that might explain how he does the last part but I'm clueless on the first two...

Wow!

At $1,000 (that's just under £600) I reckon that's not bad value for something such as this.

Very few will have something as visual as this and I'd say that it would easily pay for itself in a short timeframe.

I second that - if you were a pro this would definitely be something to use.

I wonder if the last part is done with something like this...

Its good, but The first and second bits are good, but not examinable if I have guessed what he has done correctly. It's when he waves his hand over the edge of the table that confuses me, and from there onwards :D

I loved the bit at the end :D

Kev... I think this is more of a stage routine though... so it doesn't really matter too much.

What's nice is that the ending happens in the specs hands but the ending also moves away from the table so that it's no longer under any scrutiny.
