      @@DespairNemesis better yet, I learned from a comment a while ago: When the video is paused, you can go forwards and backwards *frame by frame* with . and , buttons (dot forward, comma back). I didn't see anything in .25 speed, but with that method it can be seen really nicely, and to me that makes his sleight of hand even MORE impressive!

  • @AzNightmare
    @AzNightmare Před 4 lety +27

    *Because of the advantage of video playback (in slow motion) on CZcams, I was able to follow most of the tricks with an idea how it was done until the very end when he kept making 3 balls... lol. The slight of hand is simply next level and that's what I appreciate the most. Even down to how he ditches sponges, right in plain sight, as simple as just dropping it behind the table while he places a sponge down at the same time to conceal it, it was so perfect and it would not have been picked up in a live performance.*

No one uses sponge balls for some reason, and much like the loathed “linking rings”, they get a bad rap. I really like sponge balls and after this, I love them !

    Loved this act. The sponge balls hold a dear place in my heart, it was the first trick I saw and the first trick I actually learned when I was about 4 years old at the old magic shop at knotts berry farm in the wild west section. This act genuinely made me smile the entire time because he's taught himself tricks traditionally done with other props like the infinite water bowl trick, and penn and teller's own magic song. Beautiful display of skill, can only dream of how he did it.

    @MagicNomadic Před 4 lety +11

    THAT was amazing and I have to disagree with Penn on saying sponge balls is "hack" or amateurish, which when a magician rags on something like that it's because they can't do it.....it's not a self working trick and actually takes practice to even do on a basic level. Any magic that actually takes place in the the spectators hands is the strongest magic you can do, this guy is smart. I will be buying his book as soon as hit the comment button!

    • @livedandletdie
      @livedandletdie Před 4 lety +2

      It's not that it isn't hack or amateurish but it's used to teach kid magicians the importance of palming, loading, stealing and etc.. and it gives a great effect, however what Xulio did inventing a whole new category of pure sponge ball magic, is a tad too many steps beyond basic sponge ball magic, I can't even imagine how many hours he has spent creating and perfecting these tricks, but seeing as his first YT video is from 2012 and there is a slightly poor palming in that video, and that's just 1 slightly bad palming out of several near perfect palms in that video. I guess he started practicing in 2011 or 2010 And in 9 maybe 10 years, that's really amazing to think how far he's driven these tricks. The persistence is amazing in and of itself, then creating the performance around the tricks, chaining them together so beautifully is an art itself that takes time and effort.
      It's not just any simple trick it's truly taking the simplest lowest and lousiest tricks and mastering them beyond belief.
