Not sure where it's gone - maybe the power of the crystal has faded :shock:

I agree with all of the comments on the length. It was too long, but i got more bored of the music than anything. You should play some metallica or something over it. There's nothing wrong with metallica and magic.

Although good luck infringing their copyrights.

The trick was good, but I agree with everyone else.

Except Evmeister. Metallica......................... Not my choice of music :D

thanks for the feedback but try as I have, there doesn't appear to be a way to shorten this trick, other than to get rid of the specs quicker by playing Metallica :?

I'm not too bothered as I don't perform this often anyway and given the right settings the specs don't seem too bothered with the length anyway. It's not a table hopping routine and the absence of any patter on the video perhaps doesn't do the trick any justice.

Yeh, If you showed it to a spec it would be more interesting, becuase they wouldn't be hearing repetitive music for 5 mins :D

yes, I agree :lol: :lol: that it's a giggle

The music is Junk Culture by OMD and it's probably the ONLY OMD track that I ever liked.

I was more into Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, Rainbow etc. in the early 80's but somehow I didn't think that 'Run to the Hills' sounded quite right as a backing track :?

PLus the trick is 5 minutes long and Run To The Hills is only 4 mintues, so it would have finished before the trick was done.

good : final ending is very powerful

should be improved: under the table :P, try rethinking the magicesp process? maybe something more interesting that's not as suspicious.

suggestions: i was thinking the trick could be done with playing cards ripped in half? have 3 marked cards, and cut them down the middle. i dont think this trick needs the whole "patterened back" element you included in it (and for the final effect, maybe you can get a specially printed half one card, half another jumbo card?)

nice idea, good luck with the trick
