You're a great magician. But what's with the flashing and exposure? And I suggest making shorter videos, like 1min of talking and then your trick. But that's just my opinion. I subscribed.

Flashing??? Where? Which trick?

I made 2 tutorials up to now because many people were asking to learn magic to show their kids. I was just trying to make my subscribers happy. I think the tricks taught (rising ring on elastic and matchstick penetration) are in a lot of beginner magic books and are old enough to be taught to the general public to get then engaged and interested in out art. I have since had a conversations with a few magicians and they have convinced me that is not what my channel's goal is. So I wont anymore. Thanks for the sub! Smile

Check out todays trick. I link 2 Latex Livestrong Bands together is a very cool manner. Enjoy!

Flashing big time on your rendition of Pressure brother!

The match penetration was nice, and I understand your rationale, but I don't think you should've titled it the way you did since the methods are similar.

Its not really flashing..I meant to do that.. I pasted a piece of balloon on the back of my cell phone to match the balloon. Didn't that jump out to you?

Only magicians would think that is 'odd' ..because we know the method.. I think the normal person would just assume that's what it looks like when a phone is in a balloon. What do you guys think? Here is the link:

Thanks for your feedback bro, much appreciated! Smile

Eric, I've performed this enough to know that 1 out of every 10 performances, someone guesses at the method. If they saw me do that, it would be a major giveaway. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so. But that's the last word on that, it's not a big deal.

But again I suggest making your videos like... a min long ala Calen.

Eric, I thought the convincer, for the purpose of your videos, was an excellent touch and looked great.

Really impressed at your efforts so far. Keep 'em coming.

I think the real trick is how a magician can afford to give away those cool prizes. Smile

Eric,

I think the videos are great. I especially enjoyed Day 43. There was just something about that trick that really made me smile. Smile

All the best and keep up the great work! I hope we get a chance to meet one of these days.
