Hello again chapps,

As i was being slack and didnt pull my thumb out for the competition i thought i'd film this little somthing for you, hope it meets your taste.

I've used my own patter, just to break to mould a little bit, i've never really done it before so let me know what you think.

Thanks guys,

Rob

That was very good

Well done

nice handling, the patter was decent aswell. the credits were funny though. your name just scrolling along da screen lol.you should have done another one saying 'special thanks to Rob Rawlins lol

loved it - very nice patter

Really nice handling. Smooth and good. If I was to correct only the smallest tiny thing, it would be that, you moved your body and hans backwards (for a magician, obvious reasons). Maybe you should have started in this position?! But of course, in a real life performance, you would be talking and gesturing so much more, and noone would ever notice this, it's just very viewable on video.

Excellent effect. Nicely performed!

I concur. Great trick Rob. Once again you have not let us down with entertainment.

Looking at the credits though seemed like you had quite a bit of help in making this video...did you even do any of it yourself?????lol

Thank you guys, glad that it's been recieved well, its the first time i've ventured away from cards, happy with how it turned out.

Thanks,

Rob

Greetings Rob

A very nice performance with a good patter Well done

That was a lovely performance of a very nice trick Rob. Well done.

I don't really think it needs much improvement at all. However, as a magician, I was constantly watching your right hand because to me it looked a little bit suspect. Having said that, you handled it very smoothly and very naturally, so to a lay audience it would be inconsequential.

I think Rune's point about body posture is (without having a go at Rune) unnecessary. It makes sense for you to move backwards and relax as you place the pieces into your hand and I think you handled that very well.

All in all a lovely, quick visual trick that'll knock people dead. All you have to do now is figure out a way of getting set up from a borrowed pack of cigarettes.

PS The production of the video was lovely and it was nice to see a video where real effort had gone into it's production. Even if the credits were a bit OTT .

Thank you for that Will, much appreciated.

I think Rune's comment was fair enough, it does look a little suspect, but during a live performance it would be masked with casual banter and things like that.

Thanks again everyone,

Rob

Thanks to you for the entertaining

Sweet I love it! I was waiting for something wierd to happen but it just changed! Really good mate

I have used this as often as possible, and it is a great "pub effect"....I liked your performance..........but for a somewhat "twisted" look at the overall effect..........

Don't get me wrong, I am so happy that many places are now non-smoking in my country, but sadly, it puts a slight damper on the "impromptu....ness!" of a cigarrette/fag trick........oh well, I suppose ones health is more important than magic anyway!
