Very nice routine and good chops. It may be just alittle too repetitious with the balls all appearing under the center cup twice. Overall excellent.

Not bad. Some nice moves.
You say "Just like that" WAY too many times. Once would be enough. I agree about the repitition. Get rid of a middle phase perhaps. The wand spin vanished looked good as well.

It all looked great. I understand this was pretty much a demo for our benefit, but in performance I'd do what Frank says and cut it down a bit.
What's that thing on your shoulders? Oh yeah, it's your HEAD! So few of those are seen nowadays on video clips. I'm glad you decided to let us see all of you and not just be another faceless finger flinger. And you stood still behind your table too without rocking back and forth like an extra in "One Few Over the Cuckoo's Nest." I liked that too.

I agree with all that's been said. Technique was great, program was too long.

I liked it. You did a good job. Now, I really enjoyed the opening phase. It was nice to see something different from the norm.
I will also say Frank hit the nail on the head when it came to "Just like that". Keep working it you have some really nice moves. My two cents, SeanD13 |

The handling, moves, sequences, etc. are fine. I would really like to see you INTERACT with some spectators and see how you PLAY TO THEM, how you ENTERTIAN them now that you can do the trick well.
The only negative is that near the end of the routine when you go to your right rear pocket it seems like your hand is back there TOO LONG... and it looks like you are scratching yourself. Perhaps you need to get pants with a looser fit and a pocket that is easier to access when you do this routine. BTW: "Just Like That" was Tommy Coopers signature tag line. But, in your context it didn't bother me, matter of fact I would use it more... like a running link.

I liked it a lot, all the moves are fine,the only thing I would change is the patter, seem too improvised to me.

Very entertaining routine.
Your wand through all three cups needs some work. The wand need to stay straight to make it look believable. I think wand through one cup always looks more realistic as it is hard to keep the wand looking like it is going "through" the cups and out the top (not the top left or right). Everything else looks great. Enjoyed the opening sequences the most. Stay out of that back pocket for too long! -todd

I think you did a good job on your routine. The final loads could have been just a touch cleaner. It looked like you had a little problem getting them out of your pocket.

In the final loading sequence you say: "and the ball goes UNDER the cup, just like that...." when in fact the balls are on top of the cups. You are telegraphing to us what you are really doing - that is, the final loading under the cups......

Basically a nice routine. I would do the cup through cup move before I started doing the penetrations. By doing it where you do it, you break the momentum of the routine. I couldn't remember whether you had shown the center cup empty or not.
You need to see Bob White's DVD. Also, work on some more exciting patter. I have to agree with the others who have said that the wand penetration through all three cups is a bit much. One cup is enough.

Nice, but routines with more than two cups make me dizzy. You hair has potential - use it.
