Zombie Ball

[pandpmagic]

cool as man

[philipriding]

yes thats right i know how this is done.........the drummer is hidding behind that box and is using a giant magnet.

[gaeaallard]

got it figured out :D

[jagofett78studios]

I can do that its easy

[85mdt]

bravo.... bella performance ;)

[CAR73LOS]

Muy lindo show. Una pregunta: La bola que utilizas para esta performance que marca es ? Parece ser metálica, no ? Muy linda la música que has seleccionado, acompaña el dinamismo de la rutina.

[bryan01478963]

yeah it's so amazing performance...i have a question what is the tittle of this music (St. Andrews Magic Show 2010).....in youtube thnx..

[davidescaramuzza]

E.T. of John WIlliams

[michealjacksonfan21]

Amazing performance

[toontownspoofer]

is that u???? :O

[magicrob75]

amateur...but a good amateur...def needs work but has potential.

[106DisturbedFan]

i thought it said zombie balls :D

[elijahvandagrift]

wow how long did that take for you to get

[fredriksil]

Is this the ET theme song from the start or does it have another name.

Very good performance btw!!

[davidescaramuzza]

@fredriksil Yes it is. Thanks!

[zacksairsoftattack]

very good, i didnt think the movements were too fast. quick question: how do people manage to move their hand so that the ball rests on the arm like on 1:18 and 1:33????

[catherineyronwode]

Good body movements, and a nice repertoire of gestures, but way too fast. Slow down, let the audience enjoy the presentation.

[danthemagicman12345]

Nice stage presence. You really should slow the routine down when the ball tries to get away. Let people absorb the beautiful animated illusion.

( It looks best when the ball moves and your hands don't is what i'm saying)

[MBtheMagician]

anzi va...visto che sei italiano te lo dico in italiano...w l'italia...

così veloce(secondo me) gli togli un po'di magia...dev'essere più lenta e devi ricordarti che la decisione di muoversi la prende la palla:non sei tu che la guidi,ma è lei che sceglie cosa fare. Se vuoi arrivare alla perfezione leggi le considerazioni di Tommy Wonder su questo numero.

Comunque decisamente bravo...

[davidjowers]

Yes way to fast.

[MBtheMagician]

it's too fast

[eugenemagic]

COOOOOOOOLLLL !!!!

[shadowyoshi360]

cool trick

[Dorcika96]

Very Good!

[MentirasInusuales]

Great job. The handlingis pretty cool, but just one thing... I think that you should put an ending, some kind of effect to end, cause in the routine the ball floats, then there's a conflict with it trying to fly away, and the ball lies down again... and is that it? there's no resolution for that conflict. That's just my opinion, but I hope you consider it. Anyway, as I said before, thumbs up.

[omar3rd]

@MentirasInusuales what you're saying is that it needs a better prestige, no?

[Mrquez]

@omar3rd Well, yes. It could be said like that.

[Zarow1]

very good.

good job man!

[TheFullTimeCat]

wow, the zombie ball done really well!

[Gimpdiggity]

Good routine!!! I enjoyed it!!

[TheGlassViolin]

highly entertaining. By the sounds of the applause I take it as a great success

[roflheh]

at 1:26 you kinda give the trick away =P

[Nightmare91o]

...not really

[roflheh]

... yeah realy?

[CaptinMagic]

Slow it down a bit so it flows with the music...

[cyberqat]

This was my signiture illusion when I was about your age.

As others have said, your basic technique is fine but you need to slow it down. Stop thinking of it as a "tricK" and instead think of it almost as a dance.

You should be able to "feel" the lightness of the floating ball in your arms as it floats around the room, its okay for it to tug at you... but gently.

Don't fight it. Dance with it.

[cyberqat]

And if you want to see a performance better then you or I will *ever* give, check out the Neil Forester video here on YouTube.

Truly a great Zombie handler. It might at least give you some ideas.

[eulooo]

ABSOLUTLY AGREE

[wolf1010]

Thumbs*

[pausec]

great trick, work a bit on your acting because truly i think it looks bad.

thats about it .

[Zendishwasher1]

i think you did a reasonably good job,like some of the others i think you should slow parts of it down.your pacing should be even and the floating motions mid air are too jerky.but you are hardly unskilled and i think you did very well considering your performing conditions.

[magicpersonguy]

agreed, slow it down just a notch

[domandmattsmagic]

you're going way to fast. slow it down a lot

[taichow4649]

not interesting. Unskilled

[magiciscool676]

I'd like to see you try... even though it wasn't the best performance.

[taichow4649]

His zombi ball is not interesting. That much.

[magiciscool676]

Yeah but you said unskilled... it takes massive skill to manipulate one of those things good. It might not be the most interesting routine but he can manipulate it good unlike some people on youtube.

[zimmaster4]

i hear the e.t. theme

[Nestoryak]

In the beginnning that is.

[Nestoryak]

Slow it down son.....give it a personality.

[shruk4]

great jobb

[GenuineGT]

awsome trick i cant wait to learn it. 1 question did you do that at a talent show???

[juliamadotti]

I like it!

[magicmatt5]

i do the zombie too but i cant get the part where he has it near his arm i cant do it

[AnthonyBassMagic]

That was actually really good. There aren't many people who can perform The Zombie Ball as good as you just did. Good show, man!

Anthony Bass

[mrrad1]

whoa!!

[tekeaelao]

asi me gusta....conjunto

de moviminetos excelentes

[davidshareef]

good idea but to fast, slow it down and allow the magic to happen!

[xshuukoux]

How does it work? o_o

[supermagicman7]

is it ok to use some of your moves as im a bit stuck

[Vrscika]

They're not his moves so feel free to use them. This is the basic routine with the zombie ball. However, if you use the routine, don't go as fast as he did, slow it down and allow the magic to happen. It was as if his zombie ball was on steriods.(lol)

[WiitubeJohnohue]

Nice performance. I'm thinking about doing an act for a talent chow @ school.

[Aratgurth]

excelente

[rafagoto]

what an icredible performance.But you can do it slower to be more dramatic.

[pan1689]

Good job. but i think you kind of over did the flying away part. like you didi to many times and too fast as well. other than that good job

[godlerifikacija]

Perfect performance!

[LordTardus]

Great work and I really like the way you make it "seem" like it really floats.

Keep up the good work!

[seadawg93]

I like the music choice, very cool.

[yohojak]

wow. you really didnt do a bad job of hiding the poles.

[UnicyclistB]

Nice work. I recently got this trick and I'm adding it to my show as soon as possible.

[mrwhite692000]

Wow this is a really amazing routine! You've made me think twice about stage magic.

[druizduque]

La verdad que sera de las peores bolas zombies que he visto realizar, muy repetitivo, ritmo excesivamente rapido..... pesimo.

[gosher934]

cool but i no how to do it

[zifferinolpm]

Who cares?

[pipcomedymagic]

very cool ideas. a lot of potential.

the only thing i would suggest is look at the flow. it goes really fast and slow and it would work if that is how the music flows behind you but it doesn't it stays a constant feel.

if you really want to use this music and it is a good choice i would suggest putting it on repeat a few times, closing your eyes and just feeling the music. Soon you will start to see how the zombie should move.

[pitchpantom]

get a better cloth tho,i can see throw that one get a black one thay better

[zifferinolpm]

The silk you use is fine!

[pitchpantom]

nice job,i have to perform to

[marcturn]

hey great performance. But maybee a little to fast

[amageingrace]

Outstanding! Great ideas; great characterization; great rhythms. Nice work, man.

[korearocks11]

how can i email this guy??? hes amazing and i want to contact him :D

[hellman101]

I saw the gimmick...

[zifferinolpm]

No you didn't

[Zackary2]

is that around the world in 80 days??

[mattamomo]

wat the i want 1 lol

[iMaMacc]

thats a good song for the trick but i really dont like E.T. so i couldn't enjoy performing with that song playing lol know any other good songs that would work?

[gamemeister27]

The twilight zone theme song

[UnicyclistB]

try E.T.

[TheOneAndOnlyKingBil]

That's so sad, when people can't recognize the music from ET.

[therubbergymnast]

isn't this the music from david copperfield

[davidescaramuzza]

No, the music is from the soudtrack of E.T. the Extraterrestrial. I think the name of this piece is "Flying". The music composer is John Williams!

[t21smooth]

Really good music and energy. The only thing that I can say on a very, VERY, small negative was how the energy seemed to dip when it went on your leg. But bro, was that very tight. I have a zombie ball routine too, hope to put it up soon. Maybe we can bounce ideas to back and forth. Check my website: smoothini . com

[illusionist1956]

Excellent performance. I have been performing the zombie for over 30 years and I just learnt something new. Hope to see more.

Steve.

[gdlugoz]

WOW I do the Zombie Ball & I Am IMPRESSED!! This is The Best Zombie Ball Routine I have EVER Seen!

[Blueninja33]

Very Nice! I just got my Zombie ball and boy do I have a lot of practicing to do!

[FJMLAM]

nice performance.

[itshimmehim]

That was good and i like it when it goes on the leg part!
