So for simplicity sake, I will simply call it Disappearing Water... or dw for short.
So dw, I've got this! (omg... I'm so lame... *cries in a corner*)
ANYWAYS, since I've rambled enough and I'm also pretty sure that yOu'd liket o see some magic!
Effect:
As you could see, I made the water disappear WITHOUT touching the cup!!!
this is the absolute STRENGTH of the effect!
(PS for the part where people were laughing, I was drinking the water in my cup when the guy wasn't looking... Shen just didn't film it right! That's right! I blame you shen! Because I think that you won't bash me!)
Handling: Hmm... Here's something really tricky. I can say for now that the gimmick takes practice to use. Once you know your limits and ratios, you should be fine! I mean, not he easiest but definitely not hard either.
I'd give it a 4.5/10 on the same as as I was using before
Spectator's View: WTF?! Is the first reaction I got from the guy performing with me (as you could see from the vid). Now the icing ot the cake is that the audience THINKS that they know what's going on. You're drinking the water while making the other guy make a fool of himself.
HOWEVER, they also get in on the surprise when the helper's cup becomes waterless. So I'm gonna say that this gave a VERY strong impact. I first came to know this trick from the 2010 BTV Internations Spring Gala. It was performed by David Williamson (I think that he was awarded the Best Manipulation Magician of the year by IBM... or some awesome prize anyways, and the trick simply stuck to me.)
| Yes, these two performed the trick with the help of an audience. |
Design: Really not much I can say about this... but trust me, you won't care much for the design, it's really the effect that you want for this.
Care: Again, just like the pen, DO NOT EAT THIS SHIT!!! Doctor said that it's bad for your health! But yeah, keep it out of wet places and it should work fine when the time is right.
Overall: I give it a score of 82/100. Pros includes the effect and how spontaneous you can do it. The cons includes how you must snatch the cup away from the audience and nothing could be checked AFTER the performance.
But all in all, a very interesting effect and I hope that you guys will like it. Also, if anybody knows the proper name for this, I would appreciate it if you told me :)
NEXT REVIEW: Bicycle Cards (alright, I know that it's lame but hey... gotta start it someday. btw, it's the normal bikes so don't get over excited. I'll do the Gaff the Ghosts, the Arcane, the Tiger etc. some other time.)
