How is this trick realized?

Thanks!. Had I kept my right thumb quiet during the crucial part of the "trick", it would've been far better, I think.

I thought it was very impressive too. I finally caught a slight movement of the white stripe on your left pants leg.

The banana was clever, but needs a lot of work.

Feel free to PM me with your suggestions. Although it would be hard to put any more work into it, the original took days. But everything can be improved and I find it flawed myself. But, it's a very difficult thing to pull off convincingly. Any ideas you have for improvements will be very welcome.
 
I think I know a way to do it that doesn't require intelligent fruit.
 
I stil don't know how the banana vanish was done.

Teek to the PM machine!! ;)
 
Cafe is working as of this second.It goes down regularly as the owner is rather portly and eats the server.


Alledgedly. :D
 
OK, the guy "admitted", but since I've been unable to read the Magic Cafe forum thread, I don't know if his "admission" came before or after this other vanishing trick:



Looks like he's still going strong, or am I mistaken?

Patricio it was me who challenged him to include a clock,and as such it was after this video when his downfall began.

Kudos for thinking to do that, but in the champagne-flute-vanish-with-clock video I don't see the edit/cut. I'm slow that way.

I also don't see it in the related video robinson linked to.

I'm feeling very inferior.

Yes, I was suspecting it was you the one mentioned in the video. I have read some of your YouTube comments too.

The guy admitted he had been cheating with video software, but probably won't tell how. Fair enough, anyway. On this last video, I notice a perfect continuity on the clock seconds hand at the moment of the vanish, even the ticking sequence is perfect. The segment edited out (the glass drop) would probably be more than a second long, the time it takes for the glass to fall down out of view. So the video is still pretty neat.

I notice that the watch on that video is in place from the very beginning. We don't see the guy manipulating it as the other guy does with the wall clock. So I would think of that watch as a superimposed image, like the "picture in picture" thing.

Great. Now I'm feeling inferior, unloved, and technically inadequate.
