@Will: I hate these levitations today, but I would get one if someone came up with something worthwhile.
@ Rev: You are dead on with your questions. I remember when I first bought "Metalogic" I thought It was something special and something that I was gonna kill with. I thought I was about to be the Next Uri Geller. I hated the entire effect! Well, I did get a brand new spoon to bend and work with.
So often when dealing with these bending routines, I always leave them alone because I find out what Banachek and Osterlind taught was great enough and fool proof to me. I even have my own moves added to what they have taught. One bend even Richard himself loves. But I am really picky about buying a lot of the new effects these days. They must fit me and who I am.
I gotta say this, Calen Morelli is kickin butt, he has some of the most off the wall ideas! I said it once and I'll say it again, he is like a breath of fresh air!!!
