There are no Angle issues per say. You can do this surrounded It is an effect that you can learn in five minutes but really needs a lot of practice to give it that magical look.
Spend 3 days working on it and you will be rewarded. Its a very old principle that Mr. Sconce puts a new "Spin" on =) I have been working with it for about a day now. And I feel that I will be able to preform it for someone by Thursday at a New Years party.
Again this effect will appear as REAL magic to a laymen. Very Nicely done.

Thanks Altrez! Glad it you enjoy the effect. I like what you mention about the practice for SPIN. Taking the time to practice this effect makes it shine. Best wishes! -Matt Sconce
