Britains Got Talent Stunt

[Stargazer]

Does anyone know how that `Japanese man did the trick of the circling ring and the circling playing card?

[itchycopark]

i dont and im good at solving these tricks watching them over and over and slowing them down to 1/8 replay but this two tricks have beat me

[wolf63]

there are some ideas of how it is done here -

here it is, I can't see how he could do that but that's "magic" probably very disappointing when you find out:

[Arksided]

I have kinda given up on BGT but being away from home (Housesitting) but that one really caught my attention must admit.

[naomi24]

I’ve no idea. Brilliant, quite brilliant.

Begs the qustion, what is a Japanese man doing on'[i}Britain's[i} Got Talent?

[Ken4155]

Just watched the full performance 3 times and i can't see any contraption in his right hand. He's obviously a magician:-)

[douglas9401]

Oh Danny, stop and think for a moment.

[dannyk13]

Douglas.about what?

[andy-hughes]

I did start off watching what he was doing, and then I started looking at Alesha Dixon with predictable results ... I missed the next twenty minutes of anything!!!!!

[andy-hughes]

Speaking of BGT, I did wonder about the reaction to the guy breaking ice with various parts of his body.

Unusual, but would you cross town on a winter evening and pay £20 to see him do it in your local theatre?

I rather doubt it!

[Arksided]

Can you do it Andy-Hughes? I doubt it, he does believe he has a talant... there's nothing wong with that... is there.

[itchycopark]

ice is eaay to break it was long piece and when the top one goes it doubles the impact on the second row down and so on ,same with the one he slid through, not impressed at all

[Ken4155]

Remember Tony Holland, Andy. Won Opportunity Knocks on 6 occasions and went on to perform at the London Paladium. His talent? Making his muscles move to Wheels Cha Cha.

[pussnboots]

Something to do with a magnetic force field, he had a bike with him piled with different objects he didn't use, the ring being metal was controlled by magnets on his person.

[andy-hughes]

Arksided - // Can you do it Andy-Hughes? I doubt it ... //

No I can't do it, but that's not the point is it?

I can't play guitar like Jimmy Page either, but the memory of seeing him with Led Zeppelin is burned into my consciousness for life.

The old adage 'You couldn't do it ...' is a false and baseless criticism of criticism.

I don't need to be to be able to do anything whatsoever, in order to have a view on someone else doing it - no-one does.

How many football fans are qualified Premier League Referees?

It doesn't stop them voicing their opinions of the people who are every Saturday, and nor should it for one moment.

// He does believe he has a talant... there's nothing wong with that... is there. //

Absolutely not, nor did I suggest that he does not have a talent, or that there is anything wrong with him believing he has a talent.

I simply pointed out that the chances of that talent being parlayed into a career where people will make an effort to come and see him, and pay for the privilege, is extremely small.

Whereas if Mr Page were to announce a concert by his estimable beat combo, millions of people, and me among them, would be hitting their keyboards and praying for tickets to watch him.

Ken - // Remember Tony Holland, Andy. Won Opportunity Knocks on 6 occasions and went on to perform at the London Paladium. His talent? Making his muscles move to Wheels Cha Cha. //

I do indeed.

But those were different times.

You only have to remember as far as the fact that 'Ant And Dec' in those days, was Hughie Greene!!!

I'll say no more.

[Arksided]

I just wondered how long before you name dropped Andy-Hughes...

[Arksided]

I like pussnboots guess, gyroscopic magnetism.

[andy-hughes]

Arksided - // I just wondered how long before you name dropped Andy-Hughes... //

Not for the first time, in your eagerness to have a pointless spiteful off-thread dig, you have rushed to show your ignorance by accusing me of something I have not done.

Allow Google to help you out with what 'name dropping' means -

// Name-dropping is used to position oneself within a social hierarchy. It is often used to create a sense of superiority by raising one's status.[citation needed] By implying (or directly asserting) a connection to people of high status, the name-dropper hopes to raise their own social status to a level closer to that of those whose names they have dropped, and thus elevate themselves above, or into, present company.

Name-dropping can also be used to identify people with a common bond. By indicating the names of people one knows, one makes known their social circle, providing an opportunity for others with similar connections to relate.[6] //

Clearly I did not say that I know Jimmy Page, merely that I have seen him play, and that puts me in company with millions of other people.

I does not, however, make me a 'name dropper'.

Next time you feel your hostility rising with such speed that you can't wait to hit your keyboard and be snide to me, make sure that are you being accurately snide, otherwise you run the risk of making yourself look not only snide, but ignorant as well.

Again.
