UFO Card, My Method

Postby Cooldudedan » Apr 25th, '07, 22:11



Heres a video i made of me doing a trick i made myself, i didnt even buy it from a shop and it still looks impressive :)

it doesn't use the normal technique in the hummer card/UFO routine, and as you can see, you can put your arms right over it...

i thought up the routine around a week ago, only just got round to making the vid

Ive been doing it at collage, while waiting for classes, turns a few heads lol

ITs nothing new.

It has been done before. so I wasnt mpressed. it just wasnt good in my opinion.

And your video looked alot like another masked youtuber.
And i have a sneaky suspiciton thats where you got the idea.

Your performance wasnt very good. You let the card hang some times- big no no.
Your gestures, and hand movements were huge, and unnatural.

With the hummer you can do alot more, and its more natural. You can go around the body, around the arms, all over. ITs alot better than the version you performed.

buy the real version, its worth it.

Great visual. Kudos for applying your knowledge to develop something of your own.

I agree with David, it loses some of it's beauty with the harsh movements you make. Can your method allow the CARD to move about, or does it have to remain in place each time? It seems limiting, to me.

With Hummer card you cant make it go through your hands ;)

i can indeed move the card around, it dont have to stay in one place, that was just a video to prove that theres no string from my ear/ceiling etc

Ill make a new vid combining both soon

It still is not as good as the origianal version.
you want to be free of thread pic up "no strings attached"
You can also 'prove' there are no strings with hummer.
They dont know about the ear.

Your version is nothing new, nor special.
