Not quite sure if that post violates the last part.. just pointing it out.

And although it may not, and probably won't be answered considering how close it is to 11- Were the reacitons you got after performing Crush different from what you expected while making the effect? If so, how?

And by the by, thanks for releasing what is looking like a PHENOMENAL effect!
 
Podcast has been posted! Eric was very sick tonight and we almost had to cancel less than an hour ago - but he was a trooper and make it happen.

We answered as many questions as we could - covering details on Crush, practicality of Crush, the creative process, his roots in magic, and much more. Listen to the MP3 by clicking HERE directly.

Tonight's randomly selected winner - who will receive the Crush DVD on the house - is RHR. Congrats and enjoy!
 
Hmmmmm...

Who or what inspired you to create this effect? What made you even think of creating it?

How long have you developed it and been sitting on it?

When was the point that you knew that you had something awesome and releasable on your hands?


Cheers

EDIT: Dang, logged on and I was too late :) Oh well. Congrats!
