I've long been fascinated with this effect of Oswald Rae's, and my frustrating inability to create a decent presentation for it, other than - "here's a mirror, now it's bending..."
Here, in this lesson, I'll show you my 'work in progress' presentation and how I came up with it, I'll also show you some new handlings and ideas for the trick (I don't think anyone has ever done a video on that) but most importantly I hope to inspire you and give YOU the tools, to help you create your own highly personal presentations!
As we go through this journey together there will be at least FOUR videos on the subject,
1) HOW TO BEND GLASS,
2) ADVICE ON THE BENDING MIRROR
and then then the upcoming
3) THE GODFATHER TECHNIQUE - JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT...
Because I recently made a killer discovery that kicks the trick up to whole new level, I'm not going to say I solved it, but I do think it brings us closer to the perfect, in one, glass penetration illusion.
4) THE FINAL VERSION - LIVE PERFORMANCE
We shall see, for now enjoy these two videos... MORE is developing...

Flipping Your Lid, my NON cigarette version of Douglas Francis’ CIG-A-BILL. (I’ll put that up alongside this, so you can see the inspiration, just in case you haven’t got to that yet, or passed over it because Cig-A-Bill used a cigarette).
Flipping Your Lid, has a built in surprise presentatio...
