The Mogtrix

Postby Beardy » Dec 1st, '06, 18:06



Heya people. Here I am performing moggy's mogtrix!

sorry it cut out at the end - my batteries ran out, and I haven't any spare!

Enjoy everybody, and mog, I hope I did your effect justice ;)

it is truly worth it - personally, I feel it hard to get smoothly, as you can see it isnt as smooth as good ole Mog's, and you can't do it in *total* silence - hbut I do love this effect I must say!

Great routine, only one comment, - i don't like matrix routines where one cross hands. It makes it more suspicious.

Nice effect!
Anyway be careful about camera angle. I saw a couple of thing I should not see

Having just got this this morning I'd have to say Lady of Mystery that you don't need exceptional coin handling skills for this effect!! Buy it anyway.... give in to your CUPS!!

As ever when I get an effect that works in a way like this I worry about caught but having seen 2 videos now of it being done I am nervously confident that I will get away with it due to the natural misdirection of the spectator watching the table.

Now gotta tidy up and clear a space on the table so that I can get practicing!

One question.... obviously a matt or soft surface is preferable but I'm assuming that it would be ok to do on a normal hard table??? You would if you did it at a pub I guess! Thoughts pls?

Yeah you should capture it from a different angle,saw some secrets i shouldnt have seen :(

@Jordan C
for every Matrix effect i do i go for a closeup matt

Best do it on a pool table then hey when at pub!!

The only other matrix I know utilises CS.... this looks like the cleanest version (despite my nervous concerns)!

a pool table is perfect for Mogtrix.. Apologies for the delay again
