Zig Zag Cig Finger Snap

Post by Yasuo Amano » Sat Nov 18, 2017 4:38 am

I’ve made a new performance video of “Zig Zag Cig”
I’m sure you’ll realize the effect I wanted, when you watch it. ;)

Very nice. Is this pure sleight of hand or you make some modification on the prop ? :) :)

I tried, but snapper-like technique alone was not enough, so I made some modifications. ;)

I'm going to bet that Amano-san has two modified units: one to snap out, and a second to snap back. Not only is his left hand with the unit out of sight after the cigarette is zagged, but there is also an edit in the middle of the video.

Mr. Kaufman
No, I use only one, that's why it took time to create the gimmick.

I think thst the break in the video has something to do with reversing the gimmick ;)
