Naturalness

April 11, 2009

Today I had lunch with Eric Decamps and Derrick Chung, and Mr. Decamps brought up a very interesting point. He started speaking about making your actions smooth, natural, motivated and with no tension whatsoever. He proved this point by showing me some different passes that he uses and doesn’t use and showed me what were the pros/cons off each shift. I want all of you to relook the magic you do and ask yourselves if the sleights you are doing are smooth, natural, motivated and have no tension whatsoever. If they do not meet the requirements, try to work on making the sleight flawless and if that’s not possible, try to find a possibly perfect sleight to replace the one you are currently using.
