I dont think the video quality did you justice.
In my humble opinion as someone who has only been doing sponge balls for about 5 months, I would like the routine to be done faster.

Do you have more effects you can add to the routine, like multiplying balls, or a purse frame, colour changing balls.

These are just a few sugestions, but seeing as you have being doing spongeballs for 8yrs, I am probably teaching my gran to suck eggs!

Just to make my point clear I would speed it up.

Wow, in January you'd been doing spongeballs for 6 years—and here you are just 10 months later, and you've gained 2 years experience! That's over 200% progress!

Anyway, I think for *basic* moves, you've almost got them right. However, as mentioned, the whole performance is slow and frankly quite painful to watch. Your loads/vanishes/bluffs are in need of a bit of fluency work, but aside from that, I'm sure you could fool someone quite well if you just performed ONCE.

The performance is a little slow I grant you but he does do the basic vanish quite well I thought.

haha nice one seige

I'm in a fowl mood today, so take this with a grain of salt.

You've been doing this for 8yrs? or 6yrs? either or... I've seen people pick up a pack of sponge balls.. learn the basics and do a better routine in 3 MONTHS.

Needs to be quicker, and more added to it than a few basic vanishes.

sorry if that was harsh. Just my opin.

It was a little harsh, but it was the truth from your "bad mood" point of view.

I said the same but, I am happy today, so i said it in a polite way!

Sorry dude but with 8yrs of practice you need a lot more in there for a whole routine.

Do you have the David Hudspath Sponge Ball DVD?
With that you will be performing great routines within a few months of practice.

Yes it was to slow and because of that it looked a bit conspicous. Other than that some of the vanishes were ok but thats just my opinion. Others might disagree with me.
