Gone. It's athletic, but so is ballet. If it has music, it's out. If it has pretty props, it's out. If the athletes are expected to make delicate hand movements, dance steps, or bow after, it's out. If aesthetics make up any part of the final assessment, it's out.>> ^ant:

Hahah! That sport was the laughing stock of the Olympics. Any sport that requires you to look good doing it isn't a sport. Period. Those aren't athletes. They're dancers. Glad they're gone. Figure skating should be next.

How about gymnastics?

I don't see anything in this video that has the slightest appeal to me.

If I had glasses like this, I'd want them to serve as my computer screen. Allowing me to create a workspace when I could have large space to work, zoom in and out at will and turn my head or rotate in my chair to see more open workspace or pre-designed things I could use.


If they could give you a screen in your glasses wirelessly and capture hand movements without needing a physical input device...that'd be something really impressive and powerful.

Think about a room of people wearing these glasses, able to create a shared "thing" in the middle of the room everyone could walk around, see, and work on. Ideally a hologram would be better since you could make sure you're all seeing the same thing, but the glasses would go beyond what a projected screen or television could ever do.

Very nice

I mean, he does an awful lot of very unnatural hand movements and positions to hide things and the like, but overall, very nicely done.

Nice trick but all his hand and finger waving shit was annoying and in my opinion detracted from the performance.


With a string of tricks this long, I think the flourish helps distract from some of the actual odd hand movements he has to do. You get distracted watching one hand while he does something with the other. Like when he flips a card with his left hand under the fan of cards, or when he blatently puts the card in his mouth.

It also sort of camouflages things by blending with the moves he has to do. If he only did it when needing to do an actual trick you'd pick up on it way easier.

That was awesome. All the tricks look like they could be pulled off with a normal deck of cards, except the card that changed when we waved it. No idea how he did that if that wasn't a trick deck.

Ha, don't have the time to watch that now, but watched up to him talking about disturbances and flutters and ripples in the force, and the guy's hand movements for 'ripple' made me laugh, so this looks good... upvote

For a fun game, watch the body language. Note when the respondents look down, look to the sides, and blink.
Body Language of Lies:
• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.
• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.
• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.

Don't believe everything you read about liars. Good liars can make eye contact and lie. Great lairs can make you believe it.

Also, it's not a lie if they believe it.

Jerry, just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it.

with a bit of development this could be good , Its a nice bridge between close up slight of hand magic and dance.

I think in terms of dance this only really works if you A) isolated the hands from the body , with light or a screen or cgi, or B) incorporated the hand movements into a dance that used the full body.

the reason it looks some what obsurd and "stupid" in this video is the fact you have a guy with a straght face doing it taking it seriously , its like ministry of silly walks from Monty python but with hands.

Such rapid, dexterous hand movement... It's going to get used for Porn.
...Everything always gets used for porn...

They didn’t seem to get the facial features right, but it is really remarkable how the body and hand movements seem so life like and natural. They really have come a long way with the technology.

Fantastic, although... what is it with choirs and the love of cheesy hand movements? Really... don't do that 'rains' hand move... urgh

In Dayton, Ohio, citizens are upset over an incident where a blind woman, Denise Harris, 49, suffering from cancer was tasered by police — apparently while she was on the floor. The police insist that they needed to taser her “to control her hand movement.”

Family and neighbors insist that they told police that she was sick and was afraid. The initial police statements indicate that she was hit with the taser to facilitate cuffing — a very problematic rationale.

The police were reportedly trying to arrest Harris’ son on suspicion of robbery when things got ugly. In fairness, police often face hostile relatives in arrest situations, but it remains unclear why a taser was needed to be used for cuffing a blind cancer-victim (who is also suffering from diabetes).

needless portentous hand movement that dose nothing to benefit the music piss off
