Looks good, but the initial idea for the effect has been done by our favourite PH already. Good luck with it anyways, just remember, it's NOT the greatest thing ever to be invented in the world of magic. Also, I would suggest waiting a LONG time before even thinking of "selling" it.

It says next to your video that this effect was inspired by the Paul Harris effect. As far as I know, this is exactly the same. You seem to often say that you invent a new trick inspired by another, when in fact your new trick is exactly as the one that "inspired" :roll:

you.

If you're really serious about flooding the forums with video footage (again), take time out from your 'magic' and learn a bit about photography. Your video quality is dire, and would take nothing more than a few strategically placed household lights to sort them out.

And work a little farther away from the camera, and consider a tripod to raise the camera's eye level, so you don't constantly have to work 'below the waist'. Having the camera at spectator's eye level at least would help.

There's lots of free resources on photography and lighting.

Oh, and the trick itself wasn't all that exciting.

I liked the TicTac box production.

Couldn't really see much to know whether it was any good to be honest.

Also, what kind of big ass boxes of tic tacs do you have over there in canada?!

Why post it, when all I can see is a totally black screen lol

You've even acknowledged the fact that it's dark - yet you still go ahead and put the video on here for us all to see (or not, in this case !!).

Do you ever check your videos after you've filmed them and thought that it could poss do with being filmed again

I put a vid up aaages ago and I must have filmed it 10 or so times until I was happy with the lighting/angles/noise ... etc

Take a hint - watch your videos after you've filmed them - if you can't see Jack Didly, how do you think that we are supposed to
