Sponge!

Postby Markdini » Dec 20th, '06, 21:00



Ok heres a vid of me doing David Stones Sponge routine. I am always going on about the sponges so i thought i would do a vid. I am sorry about video quality i have a bad web cam and I think there is a little flash along the way let me know if you see it. I use this in my walk around quite abit its one of my pet effects. The music is Steve Vai

Aside from the camera problems - excellent work. I'd like to see it with the camera a bit further away, as well.

Your handling of the "split" was exceptional. Great work there.

Thanks Demitri. The split isnt in Stones handling he uses a production of another ball. I perfer the split though I think you get better reactions from it.

A combination of your camera and my monitor made a bit of a mess of it for me :(

Dagnammit I was gonna do a vid of the same routine but my camera broke. Nice handling, I prefer the original David Stone handling for the second production but I might try the split out and see how it goes.

A sponge off eh Bronz? (sounds a bit umm). Sometimes I do the split some times I do the second production and Stones second production is a thing of beauty it really is, Bronz i think would agree. When i do the re shoot i will do the second production too. But I do the split more often then not.

Glad you like the handling Bronz. The Great Markdini King of sponges :P

Cool beans, maybe we should get our cameras out and sponge each other off etc....

The reason I like the sponge routine so much is the way it goes 'hands clearly empty, sponge produced, clearly only one sponge, second sponge produced' without any verbal reference to your hands being empty or only having one ball (!). I really ham the acting up when I do this, gasping with glee when a ball emerges, furrowing my brow as I search the air for another, and so forth. It goes down great with everyone young and old alike.

Do you perform much else from the dvd? I'm practicing the one coin routine at the mo.

I have uploaded a couple vids of other effects from the Dvd.

I am too practicing the one coin routine bronz I like a lot also the coins in the glass. And I the rope routine.

I agree with the fact you can show both your hands empty though it just adds to it all. And how you get that second ball genius wouldnt you say?
