I had a thread in this topic forum a few weeks ago about getting ideas for a show. Anyway, this is one small performance vid from the show that I thought had a pretty fun reaction.
I think the camera girl (my GF) was laughing the most though, haha. Jim Pace's "The Web" (there were some people sponsored by Spider Skiwear =) http://vimeo.com/8150405 |

Why is it that 99.9% of all LIVE! Magic Video's are always shot in such poorly lit conditions. It bugs me to no end. If you want us to SEE what your doing, then make sure there's ample light to showcase your talent.
I watched the whole clip and couldn't see a gosh darn thing. I only assume that the routine went over well as I heard the lady scream at the end. At the very least, use some post production software (Premier, Power Director, Movie Maker, etc.) and increase the brightness/contrast levels so it can be seen. I'm not bashing you or your talent...but if you're going to try and show us what you can do, we should be able to see it...know what I mean. Christopher

I totally agree about the vid quality , etc...
However, the purpose of the vid was not to showcase my talent, as in "the Web" there is a frustration count... not really the hardest thing to pull off. Mainly the vid was to let people see one of the performances/ reactions from the party I was mentioning in a previous thread ( I probably should have just posted it in the same thread, my bad). Also, I didn't even notice that my GF had the camera at first, so I didn't do the trick for the purpose of being filmed, I was just performing at the venue. |

I actually think it is "Flustration" count. Either that or it is something I don't know.

Hehe You are right, sorry. I just finished teaching an English lesson at a University here, so I was subconsciously needing to spell correctly. ButI believe it is the "Flustration count."

Well the video was shot in Japan Danny...so there, it IS the frustration count. (Sorry satoeri...couldn't resist).
As I said...I wasn't bustin' your chops, I just wish Magi would take more time in making sure the video viewing audience could SEE the action. We work so hard to learn this stuff, yet nobody can see it. As I said in my original post...the reaction was good... Christopher

You TEACH at a University? I would have thought you were much younger.

I am 27 years old. I am not a professor, but I teach a special English program that exists only at Waseda University in Tokyo. You can check out the information here : http://www.wui.co.jp
The course is mainly an intensive conversation course required for the students in various departments, but we also have Business English, Discussion courses (for advanced students), Writing, Reading, Listening, and Cross Cultural Distance Learning courses (English conversations done via chat/ video client with students from Taiwan, Indonesia, China, etc...). Anyway, back to the magic. I was wearing the hat, because it was a skiier's party, and everyone was wearing a hat (almost everyone). If I were to take off my hat, my balding head would have made me look a lot older =). |

Brother John Hamman added an extra "h" in there just to make it even more difficult to pronounce: Flushtration Count. Interestingly, Darwin Ortiz refers to it as the Flushtration Move, not Count.

I was just checking to see if it was what I thought it was is all. Not bashing spelling. (which a native Japanese speaker does better than myself anyhow)

English is my native language, but I have been studying Japanese since 2nd year of Junior Highschoo. I also majored in Japanese Social Linguistics at the U. of Washington in Seattle.
And to Pete Biro, one of my current students is currently a member of the Waseda crew team! Anyway, I have been asked to perform again at an end of the year party for my friend's fashion chain (http://www.kapital.jp), and now need to think of some ideas to incorporate clothes in my routine... and as I am not a stage magician, and can't do the quick clothes changing stuff, anyone have some simple ideas? |

Rich Marotta has a Color Changing Tie that may fill the bill.
