Happy Holidays, everyone.

I made a holiday themed video using gold ol Burglar Ball.

After some feedback from another forum, it flashes a little bit. I'm still new to performing, much less doing video. Enjoy!

Was that you in the video Brett ? Nice to see you in person.
The original idea using silk/hank was to show the penetration effect more visually which was not really clearly seen by using wrap paper. Maybe we should think another way to do it with paper. However nice idea of presentation Brett, especially the climax ;)
Wish you a great Christmas holidays and a happy new year in advance :)

Nice one Brett! Burglar ball is one of those tricks I always forget about but when i see it performed it reminds me what a little cracker it is (in this case a Christmas cracker). The ending completely slapped me round the face, I was not expecting that at all! I had to re watch it several times to get a clue, excellent use of the wrapping paper as a cover. Congratulations on a great vid, hope to see more in 2015 :)

What a great performance Brett! By the way, you remind me of the actor David Thewlis (aka Remus Lupin in Harry Potter) for some reason :)

Excellent, I love it.

So well thought out and done.

Maybe you could try the tissue paper that gifts are wrapped in to show more of the penetration.

Great ideas!

You have me thinking about ending with a box which is properly rubber banded, and EMPTY!

Presto, changeo, The Ball has vanished ...
