Asher Twist Remake

Postby stevebo » Sep 22nd, '05, 21:26



Yes... I've finally done it.

Thanks to the guys who gave me all the tips. I've slowed it down and tried to make it smoother.

Enjoy!

Steve,

Nice video mate... very impressive Asher Twist. Where did you learn it? I have it detailed in the back of a book called 'The Pass' by Gary Ouellet, but I don't think it goes into enough detail.

Keep up the good work!

I learnt it just by watching the video from Lee Asher's Site. I didn't buy the instructions for it because I figured it out but I might by it later for the sake of it. I heard he's releasing a DVD for the Asher Twist soon.

Glad you liked it!

Steve, is it just the frame rate of your camera that's slow or have you just put slow motion on the clip?

All the best,

It's actually the camera. I use my webcam.

I just found out that I need more light and my webcam reacts so much faster. Maybe I'll do another clip using more light but I don't think so... I might.

Steve......

I too found this on his website, and was instantly inspired to work on it........I love the ending you added! Could I pm you a qucik question about the move at the end?

It all looks good.......did you find it was hard to begin performing it for specs? I found that I could not seem to get confident enough with it, likley due to the fact that there is lots of "Heat" on your hands due to the small working area, and subtle movements.....If you had trouble as I did, I would love to pick your brain about your practice with it!

Sure! PM me if you want moodini.

I still haven't truly performed it for specs yet because I still haven't perfected it. It's really hard to perfect without the actual learning of the move.

Well done Steve !

This is a lot better than your first video.
The fluency is there this time and the moves are almost flawless.
Congratulations mate... sometimes it does pay to listen to the garbage that is spouted here on TM ! :wink:

I got that video, and the only bit I figured out is the bit where he turns over 1 ace and the rest turn over, but I can't figure out the move.

And your move is nice at the end, I'm gonna watch you vid again and try it, I know how you did it, just no the way if you know what i mean

That's truely impressive, having simply watched a demo several times! I'm awaiting the DVD version of Lee's video (I've forgotten the title but it explains the move in detail) and have two questions about this move:

Firstly, I anticipate that it's angle sensitive - your clip was from above, so what's it like from the front?

Secondly, your clip had music in the background - what's the noise like when the twist occurs? I anticipate that there may be a giveaway sound so how is this reduced or masked?
