Two videos from me

Postby HeliosDK » Dec 1st, '06, 13:47



So, i was prompted to share some of my videos. Sadly, i only have two very short videos of two tricks that most people know.

Truth be told, i didn't spend all that long on making the videos. I only shot them so i was somewhat sure that nobody could figure out the trick if they saw the video enough times.

More will come later, but you'll have to live with this for now. Lets hope Youtube is done processing the second video before somebody clicks the link :P

Very good.... even if they were only done as a training aid.... spotted the DL & EC type move but then I was looking for it :P

Second vid won't play just yet!

Brilliant! Those FCs (if that's the right abv for them) would really have thrown any spec right off guard from the start. Very very good, spotted a couple of movements but that's only because as Jordan said, I was looking for them.

Can't wait to see the second video

I do love cuts and XCM, and anybody watching the trick without any magic experience should be convenced that the card is lost after a shuffle and 3 big cuts.

I dont know what the problem with the second video is, but its just a recording of shapeshifter :P

Second video was good, well performed. A spec would never see what was goping on there.

Just watched the second one.... good little snap change there.... no spec would really know.....

I like snap changes for bringing out 4 aces but I like to change the "change card so I set them up in pairs. Reveal an ace and move the first change card to the bottom.... then I have a new change card which I turn to an ace..... move change card to bottom.... new change card etc etc etc.....

If only my damn webcam would stop shuttting my PC down I'd record some vids too!!

Good moves!!

The change was very good. Where did you buy the software so you could edit the recording so smoothly? Well, I am just kidding.....
In the first effect it is crucial that the spectator does not percieve that the two aces come close to the packet. Of couse this will happen in any case.

I suggest you treat the move a bit as a top change that is best done on the offbeat. Then you briefly lift up in the middle of the deck and pretend to produce the selection from the middle of the deck and have it appear between the two aces!!

Magic is slight of mind!
