Thanks, JP (Petrus).

And welcome to the Café... We're honored to have you, Petrus, and look forward to the young Miss Ella joining soon also. I wish her good luck, and please let her know that the magic world community here on the Café is cheering for her. I've just gotten into a bit of mentalism, and I feel a big WIN coming on for her.

I keep watching this, and it's getting very addictive. I hope she wins.....

Anyone know what coins she's using? Are they halves or Spanish coins? Not really sure, must be my eyes.

One of the best routines I have seen for a long time. It is all so fluent, the way say executes the moves. Absolutely brilliant.

Anyone found the competing clips? If she had to post on YouTube, they would have as well. You never know, her competition might be worth seeing.

Gentleman,
May we please refer to her using her proper name? I'm told her name is Claudia. "Ella" is spanish for female. So above the clip it says, "Female does 3 Fly," or something to that extent. Please refer to her as "Claudia". Or as I call her, "one of the smoothest magicians I have ever seen".

Thank you,
Pete

Pete: You're right about the meaning of the word "ella".

But also, in this case, "Ella" is her magic nickname.


Just to clarify,

J.P.

Thanks, Pete, I was just about to announce that!
Blade, I'm sure whatever coins she's using, it is not of this world because no matter what I use, it NEVER looks that good!

Thanks, Petrus, I was about to feel extremely foolish as per Pete's post on this. I know a bit of Spanish and should've picked up on that. Pete's post sounded completely logical, but in this case quite an exception, as all the folks that thought they were right but wrong are actually still right... This is what happens when you meant well to begin with..."Alls well that ends well." "Ella" it was, and "Ella" it stays.
And thanks just the same, Pete, but you can still call her the "smoothest magician..." It's clearly appropriate, as well.

I went to a few video pages and had Google translate them.
"Ella" was translated as "She", which I thought was very cool.

I was hoping you guys weren't going to start tearing her routines apart and discussing her methods here.

Also, in each of her routines, she seems to use slightly different style and paint a unique picture of herself and her routines. Sometimes graceful, sometimes serious, sometimes playful. Nice.

Mb217: A couple of days ago, I posted in the blog about your "Crimp Change":

Brother Marion is now International, RIGHT ON!

JP,
Thanks for the updates and the other vids of the contestants. I'm sure I'm biased, but Claudia "Ella" is far superior, IMO!
Mick

Hey, gracias, JP, much appreciated...

Please, I would like to make a gift of the Crimp Change to the young lady, Ella, if she is interested. A gift from myself, my friends here on the Magic Café, and the USA. I think though it is in English, she would still be able to understand how it's done and used, and it would be quite useful and beautiful in her hands. Please ask her and let me know. And thanks again for your kind words on "blogdemagia" about the Crimp Change. -Mb

Is it alright to PM you at "Petrus"?

This is probably one of the smoothest and most natural handlings of the Three Fly effect I have ever seen. Amazing...

Well, we can be a gushy bunch around here!

I watched all the competing videos. I think "our" Ella should win. I hope so.

What on earth did she do with that last coin? I watched it 10 times and still did not see.

I hope nobody reveals the vanish of the last coin on this forum.

This is an open thread, so kindly drop the subject of the coin vanish methods.

Yes, it's pretty amazing to see how much she has improved in such a short period of time!

Aupa, Claudia!

Mb217: Sir, you are a true gentlemen. Of course, I'll ask her and let you know (and you certainly can PM here).


Ok, here is the deal...

...


...

(Let me enjoy the tension. )

Here is the post with the winning video (and I also explain a little bit of what's happening here at the Café):

blogdemagia.com

Of course, it is her!!!

I want to ask you boys something...

A big favor...

And I don't want you to think I'm doing it for the visits or page views or anything (it is a Spanish blog, you know).

I want to ask you if you boys can leave a comment for her in that post (at the end of the page).
I picture this as a big round of applause.
She will read this thread and post here, she will hear the applause here, and I know she will be very happy.

But I want all our readers to hear the applause for her, as well. This would be nice for her and a good motivation for the other contestants and readers.

So if it's OK with you, please go to the end of this post and let everybody there know what you think about her. It does not matter if is in English, we would get it.

Thanks,

J.P. (at Petrus)

What is the name of this vanish? Is that hers?

Freddyshark,
As Mr. Townsend has suggested, IF this vanish is ever revealed or discussed in any detail (I personally hope it remains her secret) it will NOT be done in open forum!

Thank you again, JP, for the update, and please extend to Claudia a hearty CONGRATULATIONS from me (and I'm sure everyone else) and thank her for for making magic so beautiful!

Congrats, Ella, very well done. We were all cheering for you... It had to be you.
