cheers!

nice very nice a little fast in some places and you might like to add a bit of acting when you shove them up your nose and look from light to light.

you look a bit scared try smiling and remember that your moving the light from one place to another, plucking it from your shirt and light through shirt are great moves.
you need to keep a mental thought about what the audience sees and what the light is expected to do.

Very good and some nice moves in there.

I disagree with the speed as the joy of d'lites to me is that you can perform at different speeds to add to the effect.

thanks for ur comments,
also you might know this but, if you dont then some of the video is speeded up.

ah i love the lites! that putting it up your shirt bit is nice.
i'll be out tonight in a rock club throwing my colour changers around the dance floor.
i don't really see d'lites as being a magical thing, but that's probably due to me being a massive juggling fan too, i am aware it can be done in a magical way, certainly with the addition of a stooge and a red lazer pointer.
try learning to dance a bit, and dance about with your lites.
BodyPop-tastic!!!

That's a shame fender21 as it's then difficult to give accurate advice about your presentation.

You, and everyone else for that matter that's looking for constructive comment should post a totally ungimmicked video. Leave the gimmicks in the tricks by all means.

I thankyou for your comment dat8962 but i slightly disagree with you there, although i agree you shouldnt "gimmick videos" but i dont think mine was gimmicked as the camera didnt provide the effect of the dlites.

Cool I though it was good. The only thing is I don't think you should ever show 2 lit at the same time. I think it kind of gives the game away. I've done 2 at teh same time before and people have said "Oh! So there are 2 I see..." which is a bit annoying. After you show 2 lit up then you won't be able to convincingly pass the light between finger tips again.

I loved the video though, jsut don't light 2 at once (in my opinion )

the most constructive critisism i can give on this video is to actually try and disguise the fact that your wearing Dlites... in almost every phase of what you did they can clearly be seen. try and use "TT" moves to hide the dlites but still leaving the "working bits" visible

I see where you're comming from but believe that you;re slightly in the wrong. You have stated that some of the video footage is speeded up and to me, this says that part of the video as we view it is therefore gimmiced.

This is relevant as MagicDiscoMan commented on the speed of the moves so if they are accelerated then it's an unnatural performance that we're seeing. That's all that I'm saying on the matter as I did state that I liked the routine as a whole but at normal speed it may have looked different.

Thanks for that advice mahoney i didnt think about that, cheers.

Also thanks to everyone elses comments, all have been apreciated

Very very nice. I was going to post one with my new D'Lites but after seeing that I'm definitely going to work harder on them. The only thing I can say is that I agree with the previous comments on this thread to the gist that you don't quite look relaxed with the light. You still look a bit tense overall... apart from that, great work.

By the way, how old are you?
