Here's the second video... looks good for the most part, but the Reset Variation really needs sound... parts of it are just downright confusing without it.
Regardless, enjoy! http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=SYSqzdwZLgA

I enjoyed seeing Hardcore packet from the Sankey Sanders Sessions; it's such a great gaffless NFW.

Michael what about PEOPLE?!!!!!!
And maybe it is just me but man the coin thing looked really strange. I didn't buy it for a second. Rattling the coin on the top like that, the strange way which you show the can and such, the fact that they can not even touch the can REALLY are weak points in that effect. I would love to see you edit out those silly reaction shots also. They add nothing. I bet when you finally work for people you will be pretty good.

I will get some live performances for people in my next video... I always perform for real people, it's a constant thing, just not a lot has been filmed yet. Also, a clarification. I am not in charge of editing this video at all.. it is all someone else.

How is this ANYTHING like a sankey video?
You mean because both contained magic? There were some things I didn't like- technique mostly. I would LOVE to see performances (with humans) but I am also happy seeing a good couple tricks SANS spectators. For the most part, you seem comfortable, and the camera work is pretty good. But- please- slow the **** down!

I'm sick and tired of that comparison. This is about a magic video, not about how ONE HAIRSTYLE makes me look full-on like a character from a movie. Can we get back to the topic at hand now?

Filming again today, with spectators and some better handling. I can get fidgety for the camera sometimes is all.
By the way, I got my haircut veerrrrry short... now I full-on look like Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction! Amazing how that works, isn't it?

I have seen all if not most of your videos from day and if my memory serves me right. You definitely love to perform and you seem to have an enthusiasm that is lacking in most magicians. I think the experienced people of the Café said it all....and I would juat like to echo and validate some of the fine points mentioned.... Be aware of your pauses, as they are important to the magic. You want to have dynamics. The great BB King once said...." You can't be screamin all the time! Otherwise people won't like listening" . Now I am not saying that you are screaming or something. I just think you should utilize the highs and the lows, the tension and the relaxation. I would love to see more interaction with your spectators and not just the cam. You seem more relaxed now but still look too self conscious. I want to see you really enjoy and not look like you are trying to prove something. You are slowly getting there Michael. Hang in there and listen to the good folks who has been there. Best from Manila, Rannie

Ranni makes a good point BadSanta,
If you don't have it yet, check out The Five Points. Fantastic book worth much more then they are charging for it. Ben

Sorry I offended you Michael, I was asking a serious question which I guess I got the answer too!

I accept your apology... not really upset that it was said, just that it was said for the bajillionth time.
Thank you for your kind advice Rannie! I always appreciate your comments and it humbles me to receive advice from such a great performer! And Ben, QUIET YO'SELF DOWN! I kid, I kid. Yes, I own a copy of 5 Points and love it, but haven't read it over in a good four months. About time I picked it up again.

Michael, don't take this the wrong way, but IMHO, the sinful, aka quarter thru soda can was terrible. Again, this is only my opinion. It seemed very unnatural. Do you own the DVD, or did you learn it from somewhere else?
Edit: by the way, if you want, I can make you a private video on some tips on sinful, if you want. Just prove to me that you have the DVD. |

No offense taken. I was surrounded during that effect at some bad angles so the handling was a little bit shoppy and unnatural due to some nerves.

Devil is in the details, Michael. Details of everything, and the camera, unfortunately is unforgiving. I do like the montage aspect...but yeah, more spectators needed, otherwise the impact of the effects are actually lost. |
