Nothing mind-boggling that will make you pee your pants but still a video I had fun shooting when I had some spare time at home. Yes the video was inspired by the lame 90s rap videos I'm sure most of you will recognize the effect/method right away but I haven't seen anyone do it like this. Enjoy

Thanks for sharing, but I found this effect to lack a premise, purpose, or anything that remotely connects with people.

Oralroberts, thanks for your feedback. Agreed this particular effect doesn't have much of a premise, but often these mathematical effects are usually just that, a mathematical effect or puzzle.

How much more premise does this effect below really have? Other than the magician stating (paraphrased) "you're going to travel somewhere"

Or what about the "No Grey Elephants in Denmark" effect popularized by Max Maven in one of the World's Greatest Magic Specials from the 90s. Most of these 'interactive' effects usually require the spectator to follow some instructions and the magician somehow figures out at the end which seems to be impossible. The premise/purpose often questionable.

How would you do it differently?

I'm South African, and it ws aimed at South African people, but I'm sure you'll be able to make it out.

Hey Bryan,

I actually just happened to have watched your video a day or two ago, I didn't realize it was yours. It was well done and I enjoyed it. Yes perhaps I could of thought about a premise for my video a little more but I kind of liked it the way it is. Perhhaps I'm brainwashed by some of the other similar videos I've seen before like the Copperfield one I posted or the Max Maven one I've mentioned.

Regardless, I do appreciate the feedback and perhaps will think a little differently next time.

Cheers

Heya Durgy, glad I could help. That's what the Café is all about. All the best!
