Hey Doggy....... good to see you out making the video view rounds..... MMMMMMMM Dove water good. You behave, and stay away from my Fire hydrant,I just hosed it down again...LOL, Good to see you my friend, take care and chat soon.
Very nice, but be a bit more careful when you're changing the color of the water, a couple times your hands looked kinda fishy (no pun intended). Outside of that the presentation was perfect.
we were having some issues at that point, water temp was a factor, and it was taking a bit longer for the change to take place, so it was probably a moment where a person freaks out, and wonders ........ what the heck to do with my hands,,,LOL. Good pun my friend...... Thanks for the comment.
Saavedra, This comment from you is an honor. I watch your videos of your dove work, and they are Fantastic. I love your style and presence. and your work is smooth. Thank you so much for your kind words
Lawrens,... this contest was for live performance of Magic. It is an honor to have recieved the 2nd place, there are so many great artist such as yourself, that I would have placed above or beside me. I see lots of great routines and acts on MVD all are deserving of this honor. So as a first time video poster to MVD. I am honored, The first place winner recieves a unique DVD from Eugene Burger. All Videos posted during the last month were automacillay put into the contest. This is one that I would have been honored to see you place in, especially with your artistic approach with the linking Rings. But as I say, there were so many that should have gotten this honor. Thank you my friend for your congrats.
Now thats different.I very much liked the routining from one effect to another. The transformation of the sands to the silk streamer, is a great use for a variation on a relativly under used prop. />
and i should say, your lady is clearly a great asset to the act. Always there when she has to be, always gone when shes not.
Good assistants are worth their weight in gold arn't they.
Hey Dale, good to see you over here on this Video, Thanks for the comment, and we are glad to hear you like this version. Appreciate you noticing routining of various effects( Those things can be tough to work on and make happen.. from idea- to actually working.... (as you know)Did I type that right...LOL hope you understand that Babble.LOL. My wife audrey has always been there, and it is tough to work with your spouse...LOL I can be a bit tough on her during rehearsals. She will pick on me when we watch the taped rehearsals, and I pick on her. (dangerous) so when you find one that can fight back, i believe you are right by saying they are worth their weight in gold.
Chris, your version of the Sands is one of the most fantastic I ever saw... I do this routine too since many years, but in its basic form. I've always lack the original idea which I could include, as you did ! The appearance of the silk stunned me the first time I saw it, I had to watch again to completly taste (!) your idea. If you don't mind, just a comment here : you could take more time to fully registered the effect, maybe by applying an applause posture, clue, or gesture, with a full 1-2-3 mental count down... I felt a little frustrated to have to go fast on the effect... Is this your creation? Really brilliant ! As you said, the sands are very demanding as for preparation, chemicals and all... It's possible to get from dark to clear much faster than in your video, in which I think you experimented some problem at this point...? ^^ I have an idea regarding this issue, I'll get in touch with you... The doves's production at the end ? > Genius!!! Thanks!
Lawrens, You have been missed my friend, Glad to hear from you. Yes ... Taste! I am starting to get tongue tingling...LOL I love this explanation of yours, I find it to be such a great way to explain what we are looking for. I came up with the sand to silk transformation. It was a tough one to work on. had to build the prop, to make it look like a lot of sand, and make visual magic. I will explain more in our personnel post. Yes... that day was a little touchy on the time it took to clear.. room temp water is what I had, but Normal Tap water, but that day it seemed to take forever to change back color. It is tough to work that peice with timed music to hit for the dove production, due to color change time issue, So I have to cue music as water clears. that can be tough, but i Use remote Showtech for that, watch right hand hit pocket to change music.....LOL Eager to hear your fix for that. Man ,,,,,, glad to see you back. Lets Play Magic!!!!!!
Tyrone, this peice is called sands of egypt,or Sands of the dessertm depends on who is marketing it, 2 variations of this illusion. It is a standard, but we added in the Dove production at the end for a small kicker, It was heck coming up with the method, but FINALLY got an idea and thank goodness it worked. Thanks again for stopping in for the view. I enjoyed the vid of yours with your Daughter, good job.
Hey "D" a Big thanks to you to, for stopping in. I am enjoying making a run thru your videos... love the Pea can stuff, The scissors and Finger thing is a neat bit as well. I will be sure to get over and post on those again soon. You MVD Folks are fun.
