Nice.

Didn't exactly set the world on fire, but the executions were smooth.

Now, perhaps you'll drop by and introduce yourself and tell us a bit more about you?

Definitely...

My real name is Giovanni, but most people call me Gio, I'm 21yrs old. I am originally from Italy and now live in the U.S. in California. Been doing magic since I was about 12. I'm pursuing a future career in filmmaking, but will always have magic as a special hobby...more videos to come in the near future!

Welcome to TM Giovanni.

It's clear that your film making skills are good. I love the drama at the start of the video.

You say you're a 'supernatural illusionist', and this could be misleading.

It will be nice to see more of your movies!

Thank you for the compliment on the filmmaking

Why is it misleading to say SUPERNATURAL? I find the word to be very mysterious and in most of my tricks there are supernatural powers like: metamorphosis, teleportation, etc...

that was cool. i enjoyed that.

Welcome to TM! Actually I also have a problem with just being a "magician" since many people have some negative connotations to this. Also as soon as people people percive you as a magician they kind of pigeonhole you. Any in my case they might also expect that I am capable of doing certain feats that is not on my repoitoire.

I have performed for stangers on trains or busses and they where completely flabagasted and confused how what they saw was possible. Then I made the mistake (and probably still make that mistakes) and tell them I am a magician. As soon as they hear its like they get an explanation and can lable what they just watched.

Thus I sympathise with you attempt to brand yourself as something they never watched before and might be curious about..

I watch it and I like it. Just a minor detail,,,, I do agree with Seige that this is not first-hand supernatural tricks, more basic sleights but i a very smooth and good manner.
What I see mostly is a one who have put down time and effort. I really like enjoyed to watch this.
So keep up the good work Gio!

Sorry if this seems unfriendly, but I just can't bring myself to watch anything advertised in huge bold letters with the subscript "must see".

To be honest I named it SUPERNATURAL just to give it a unique name and also because each trick has a supernatural feature like I said: teleportation, etc...

Sorry about the MUST-SEE but you don't have to watch it if you don't want to. I appreciate all the good feedback though!

I think the magic is well performed. I do think supernatural is a bit misleading though, I expected to see something more dark and edgy. I also think the video was too dramatic for the type of effects and presentation. Just my opinion though.

Stop having a go at the guy! He just wanted to show some tricks on tape and put them up on YouTube. Who cares if he calls it supernatural? It just adds that edge onto the spooky feel he was obviously trying to create in that video.

I liked your tricks. The best in my opinion was the metamorpheses. I love watching those Good work!

I thought that everything was well performed and well filmed. It had an interesting angle with the 'movie' style start whcih worked well to the point where things were perfomred on a table top.

It would have maintained a lot more interest if some of the footage was filmed in a different setting, perhaps on the street but as I said, the tricks were performed very well.

I look forward to watching some more.

Yeah leave me alone! HaHa just kidding, it's ok everyone has their own opinion, I have to get used to it if I'll be entering the world of filmmaking in Hollywood...it's full of criticism and rejections!

All the trick were performed well, a little bit over dramatic perhaps but looks like you had fun doing it, so that's the main thing.

Well done and keep up the good work
