Click this for some easy-to-get-to videos of my current favourite performer, cyril takayama.
the shadow trick and the briefcase illusion are pretty good if you are pressed for time and can't be bothered to trawl through the lot of them).
even though the presentation is in japanese, the quality of his work is still obvious."

Ok its manipulation/ magic not poi and staff but I've spent a whole day in front of CAD and I have to get away from my computer fast

i just love the reactions of those people...

I was with a bunch of fish yesterday, surrounded by a school, and thought maybe I could kind of choreogragh or orchestrate them to move like that...
No go, unocoperative little buggers more interested in nibbling my toes...
lol

Pah!

Goddamn fish Andrea.
They never listen... even when you do that special finger wiggly thing that the man was doin...

yeah that chicks face at the end of the card trick... looks like what happened last time i dropped my pants in front of someone.

she doesn't invite me over anymore.

Her mum won't let you visit?

Maybe it was her Mum that he dropped his pants for...? And that's why she doesn't want to see him anymore...

That shadow trick was very cool

Whoop whoop. this one is a teat for you today, I am toatlly indebted to Ado-P for sending me this awesome link, really put a smile on my face - especially the styling on this hip reels - :omg:

Technically this is amazingly difficult, with a bit of poi and a bit meteor and a bit of juggling and with....
and I quote the site "tastefully and professionally designed costumes" !!!

Heres the link to his front page

Thanks again Ado-p - I love it

Drew

you sure that works?
or it could just be me..

don't work for me either....

Goddamn!

That guy is really good!

(video does work )

Bwahaha.. that's great I've never seen such great clowning with poi before. Nice find!

his balls are much bigger than mine.

that's saying a lot

I use firefox... maybe his site is non-mozilla compatible... I've come across those.. what do you use ucof?

Wow. That's possibly the bestest pesented, technicalist shizzle I has ever seen!

Thanks to you both!

I must of watched that vid about fifteen times in a row the after watching it the first time.

And the music... I love it.

Twas Ronopotamus who sent me this superb link.

So all thanks to Mr Flop himself

I use firefox and can view it no bother. You need the quicktime plugin...

that was tremendous!

i've had an image of this guy for a while now (which i've even posted on hop before) but had never seen his promo - as i suspected, that guy totally rocks

he makes juggling four of those meteors look like its nothing!

superb


cole. x

... and then he juggles 5 of them.!!

POI =OK, for the first clip of today I'm gonna point you over to a video of Millenium that he posted today in this video forum:
http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/show...rt/1#Post591924
its uncut footage in 3 parts
what you wanna look at is the footage between 2:26 and 3:52sec which is fire poi spinning where he really gets into the flow of it. Its nice to see some good flowing movement, and clean planes strung together with flow
(the start is fire nunchucks which is ok - but not for me-
and the 3rd part is a combination of neck wraps and isollations which is technically difficult, but looks more like a technical demonstration rather than some flow that we can really get our teeth int enjoying.)
OK thank you and well done millenium.

Lots of russian circus performances in low resolution real media.
Then w have another link sent to me By Colin J - Thanks colin.
its very funny to watch weightlifters, hoola hoopers and contortionist!!
http://www.circusland.com/top/eng/kategor.phtml?Sort=1&idkat=1&Sstart=5
Sorry its quite low res real media, Colin points out that he has managed to save them to his hard disk by raiding his cache/ temp internet folder.
and the skill leven is very high.
theres lots of them, so if you find some that you think are particularly good, please post below.

I found that I couldn't get the clips to work on the english language version of the site, BUT they worked very well on the russion version.

happy friday.
Drew

That meteoring is absolutely amazing! Bloody russians!
And thanks to ThaiTom for showing it to me first, but a much longer, better quality vid,
where can we find this tom!!??!

Love the thread drew keep up the good work!



Ronan

ps I vote that the alternate butterfly HOP lesson vid is changed to Ruslan's version!

Its like totally star wars:
Pink 5 - Ever wonder how the Rebel Alliance would have fared if a Valley Girl was at the controls of an X-wing fighter during the daring raid on the Death Star? Now you can answer the troubling questions that arise from this very concept!
http://www.atomfilms.com/af/content/pink5
so off topic - to poi, not staff, maybe a bit of lightsaber in the sequel
This really is a Star Wars Fan Flick what-ever.
