Hey

I really enjoyed that seeing that you said you used no threads or magnets. It was very impressive.

However to me it didn't seem that magic because when the objects were moving the just... erm... didn't really seem that magical, (for want of better words). Although i did like it wen you were moving that piece of foil or paper (i couldn't make out what it was) on the banister because that did look mysterious.

However I’m sure with a little more practice you could get things moving a little smoother.

Also IMO you shouldn't have overloaded the video with lots of different objects moving. I think you should have done 1 effect but you should have made up a 'Voodoo'/ 'Spiritual' story to go with it because that would have made the effect 1000x more powerful to the lamen.

But still overall a nice effect, just work on your presentation a little, and then it should be a great effect :D :D

(But rember these are my opinions only, and their from an amature :lol: )

I thought that was great for no magnets or threads, nice one!

Citrus, you've got to remember that only small movements can really freak people out. Especially when they are not expecting it!

Looked pretty magical to me ;)

O i know that only small movements are needed :!: (I do some PK effects myself, and i know what impact a small movement acheives, however thats only due to suspence), its just the contex that the tricks were shown in made it a lot less magical for me, becuase i was jsut a bundle of clips and no storyline.

But if you notice i said that the effect would be great if he added a story of voodoo or something to it, not that the essentail effect was 'bad'.

And it is very impressive that he dosen't use thread or magnets :D

cool :D

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

Citrus I Agree with 100% Basically the reason for the compilation of tricks was to try prove no strings or magnets were used, ie the foil and the herb tornado at the end, and too also show the differant styles of pk effects i could do. At a later stage I will probably make a routine with an according patter to go with it but thats not one of my strong points so i just figured i would throw some music over the top :-) I have only been doing this effect for the last few days so i need to work on my hand movements and slowing things down etc, but its not easy to do. Appreciate the constructive critisism thoe, keep it comming!
