many thanks, Dan

Dan,

I thought it looked just fine. Went a little quick on the video.. but thats not a bad thing either. I have troubles getting the can to "pop" back that quick usually. The seal part looked good.

Only other advice, not in the video, but if you do this on the street or at a party.. I would plant the can in an empties bin or garbage. Just addes to it, rather than picking up a can (the only can) on a table. I know that was just for the vid though.

Good job on it.

Yeah, i liked that, i prefer the effect done quickly, rather than dragging it out too much.

Try and keep your hand a little more still though...

Yeah that looked good. you looked a bit nervous thoe but it was very well performed

Very nicely performed but try to avoid direct statements. I think you might find Kenton Knepper's Secrets of Indirection of use.

Sorry to be negetive but i really think you need to work on it.

Try to avoid statements like "here we have a completely empty can"

pm me i think i can help you with some ideas. good restoration of the can though u dont need to move your hand so much,very small movements will do the trick.


"For those who believe,No explanation is neccesary"

I agree. Study Kneppers Secrets of Indirection. It will do you wonders. But beyond that, I think you look a bit too much like you just finished a couple of cups of espresso. Relax, don't move around so much (as in your whole body, not just the can.) Watch the video again, think about what you are saying... unconsciously.

Other than that it was quite good... Once you work on those points... itll be F!@#$ brilliant.

nice job!!!
i couldnt see how it was done(but i do know how to do it)
tip move more slowly im not saying it was too fast but if someone saw it for the first time,they would like too see it done more slowly.
good job tho!!!

not to be on the negative side, but i think it would be better if you healed the hole first, then made the can expand.

If you think about it, its impossible for a can to fill up whilst the lip is still open.....

Thats why its magic!

technically, with no way for air to get in, there's no way for it to happen closed either
