Ishkabibble Sandwich by Eric Jones

[Michael Kras]

Here's my performance of a great visual Sandwich effect by Mr. Eric Jones. I'd love to hear your thoughts, comments, etc. Thank you for watching! (NOTE: This is the basic technique as it was presented on its first appearance in Reel Magic Magazine)

I really liked it. Not just because of the performance but the patter was what really grabbed my attention

 

[Donald C.]

Patter was great as always, I was a little disappointed at the top shot I did not feel as if you perfected the move, I would delete the video, practice the top-shot, and then reshoot the video if you do that your technique and patter would be perfect.

 

[Luis Vega]

I didn´t like the patter... maybe because I don´t find it entertaining or
maybe is because you didn´t use it well, because the patter may be great, but the trick was very short, if I were a spectator I would think "then what?" after the the last part, if it was a part of a longer routine I agree that trick was well performed, but if not, well I didn´t love it ... also the top shot was very bad executed, as magician when I see something like that, my interest starts to vanish...

that´s just me

 

[Michael Kras]

I don't care how the Topshot looks. It has little to do with the rest of the effect.

then don´t do it, if you can´t do it correctly... is all about maintaining the ilusion and eye-candiness(if that word exists), when you do something wrong, the whole,trick,routine or even show may go down so carefull with those details

cheers!!!

Agreed, I wanted to say that, but I didn't know how to phrase it. I really want to do Tivo 2.0 for someone other than a camera, but I just can't get it to look good enough yet.

Michael,

If you submit this to the Media section, I'll make sure it gets posted tonight. Flawless presentation and amazing execution.

Real talk.

So what if my Topshot isn't as fast as other's? Well alright, I see your point. I'll just deal them off next time or something.

Repetition is the father of learning. The only way to get better at something is by doing it over and over and over again.

Wise words Mr. Raiker... but I personally feel that I'd rather spend my time dedicating my practice to other sorts of moves, moves with a certain practicality I look for... Top Shot, as gorgeous as the move can be, is not something I can see myself using regularly... therefore, I doubt I'll spend too much time on the move. I'll keep working on my false deals and bow into the darkness.

Very well done - slick.

Very well done - slick.

just like his poetry,

anyway, i watched it, and u have some great presentation. i liked that a lot, keep up the good work

 

[popchris3]

I told you my feedback (and of many other videos of yours) on Youtube comments.

Overall, this ROCKS.

 

[Michael Kras]

Thank you guys! Sorry about being a bit defensive before, I've been in a bad mood for most of the day... but I just went for a walk to clear my head and feel much better.

I do agree the Top Shot needs work... if I couldn't do it for the video as well as it should look than I should have substituted it for something else.

Aside from that, I'm overjoyed that you guys have such great support for my work and I'm glad you like this video!

It's only recently I've been coming to this website a bit more, i have seen some other effects that people have posted but not alot. & not to be nasty to anyone else but yours (Michael) has to be the best effect I've seen. You have it all down, presentation etc & a well executed effect well done.
