In case you did not see the mention in the latest issue of the Linking Ring, this is an incredibly well done segment using black art principles. It is not a magic act, but you will find it very entertaining.

Hi!!

Watch this!!

It's not magic, but still fun to look at and it uses BA.

I enjoyed watching it but wondered if it gives some of the BA principle away.

Man, is that cool. It's like the love-child of Don Drake and Forrest Gump, while they were watching The Matrix!

P.S. No offense to Mr. Drake or Mr. Gump.

That was great! I would like to see the finished product if there is one, where you can't see all the bits you are not meant to. Guys, use the first link by Nick, the one posted by Patrick comes out very blocky.

Kung-foo-ping-pong. Absolutely brilliant. Really enjoyed it. The second link actually came out better for me.

I don't think it gives any magic secrets away. Puppeteers use BA principle all the time and it's not presented as magic.

I liked the fact you could see the outline of the figures in black (and all of them sometimes) because you knew what was going on but you still saw what they where presenting and got carried away with it.

The swing to bird's eye view with mighty leap was pure genius.

Heck, I'm going to watch it again.

That was very cool. And I agree with hackmonkey I would enjoy watching a version where you can't see the "men in black."
