Now how about a tutorial for the magic trick? Btw your poem was...mind boggling, took 2 views to really understand it, very well written and your black and white theme complimented it and created a really interesting atmosphere.

@wikedlovely  The opening coin production is done with a classic (frontal) thumb palm, followed by a classic palm pass, then two Slydini lapping moves; the routine was repeated twice (two different takes) which was a calculated risk (rule: never repeat the same trick for the same audience) because I wanted the sleights to become a visual flow of hand movements (as opposed to doing yet more new tricks), bringing people back to the video poem and its meaning.

@wikedlovely oh, thanks for the thoughtful critique and compliment.

'Emo' ? This is becoming a ubiquitous terms and loosing its meaning along the way. I detect a touch of annoyance in your reply....what so you think your issue with the injunction to "become invisible" is?

I do realize that we live in an age of Ego when everyone is trying to "make a name" and "make it to the top" (whether there's talent there or not)..and, that someone advocating (ostensibly) the opposite might not be received very well...(or, someone offering more than a few coin tricks)...

@SilasStallings - Oh, sorry, here it is: To be is to do.

I feel like I should get a phone call, after watching this, alerting me I have seven days to live.

[sonofTelstar]

@MrChupacabbera - Actually, it can and has been down live (or version of it anyways); This was one version of a coin routine I developed when I was a teen. I decided to do it for the backdrop to my Invisibility poem (to make a video poem). I may reshoot this one day with a different routine.

@EpicWolfCutie ...and yet, I did "teach you how to be invisible to others", I guess you weren't paying attention.
