I like the camera angles and the yellow lights give a nice warm feeling. In short, yellow ligts=good ambiance =P.

The editing was FANTASTIC and the camera angles and location were both really great but like everyone else said don't fast forward, it makes people doubt the credibility of your skills.

and the clear balls were SO cool

Great Video, Really nice editing - Very Lion King!:P

Great flourishing too, the addition of contact balls is a great idea, it looks very mystical.

I ONLY used slow motion...NO part of this video contains fast motion. The part at 51 seconds is real time.

Watch his switchblade routine on youtube.

Then you will know that this isn't sped up.

If it isn't sped up, he should change his style. It looks weird when a move looks sped up in real time. Atleast slow down a little bit, and work on smoothness and style... But don't go too slow. Because that will destroy the look of the move.

I'm very upset that everyone thinks it is sped up. Most of the video was in slow motion besides at 51 seconds so that part looks unrealisticly fast. I assure you I CAN opperate at this speed, and I'm not going to go on about it. I guess I will just upload a few more videos.
On another note thank you for watching commenting and rating my video guys.

Hi,

I am involved in a project currently with Bizar, and I would like to say that he is an extraordinarly talented artist. What you see is not sped up in in any way. This kid puts an INSANE amount of effort into his manipulation.

you can't prove that it isn't sped up by watching it. but... it'd be a lot of work, but the only way to prove you're this fast woul be to like, show a running stopwatch for a couple seconds, then do your super-fast routine an show the watch again. ive thought about this b/c this happens often... a video looks sped up but the creator swears it isn't. i think some compression software is accientally speeding up peoplese vids.

Nice video. I believe if you say that it's not fast forwarded. People used to blame me of speeding up all the time so I know what it's like. Take it as a compliment Bizar ;)

I liked this. I wanna see more.

The video was sweet. I would love to learn contact juggling. It is such a cool form of manipulation. Keep up the great work.

Also, I thought it looked like it was just real time and that most of it was slowed down.

I really dont care wheter it was sped up or not. Personally it looks like you put a lot of work into this art, so im thinking it isnt sped up. Its just brilliant, everything is great. WELL DONE!

fantabulous idea to throw in contact juggling mr. cirque du bizar!!

(Score: 0) 7 months ago

Awesome job man! I loved every second of it. The editing, lighting, and music really work well with the subject matter. Creates a very unique atmosphere. Very entertaining, with an interesting theme. 5/5, all the way.

And I can see where people would think that you sped it up, but I believe you. Plus, to those who do think he used accelerated motion, go back and check out the moves around 0:34 - 0:36. His movement there is just as fast. My guess is the odd look is a result of the angle or lighting.

Anyway, keep up the great work man. You're certainly very talented and have got a great deal of potential. I hope you keep at it.

Awesome video man. I loved the lighting, the angles, the transitions, how it flowed with the music, and the manipulations were quite impressive as well. Overall, fantastic video. The sped up part is a minor downside, but it didn't really take much away from the video for me personally. Keep it up bro.

Loved it, the camera work was great, loved the setting/enviroment for the contact juggling, and the music gave the video a very dramatic effect.

The contact juggling was great no questions asked, but the card-moves could use a bit more variety. I'm subscribing though, because presentation is a main-factor of a good video, and you got that part down already.

Play around a bit with different card-ideas, and you'll be a big name in the future.

As for anything being "sped up", the thing people thinks looks sped up in this video is a basic triple swing cut, that even most middle-aged magicians know and do. In conjunction with all the sybil work and other moves in the video, do you think THAT'S something he wouldn't be able to do without speeding the video up? Jeesh, I don't think it's sped up.

Nice flourishes, love the finishing eye cut, contact juggling was crazy. Im sure this wasnt sped up, because people like brian tudor also operates that this speed, but you have such great telent dude. Editing was also great, and for everyone hating on this video, i challenge them to do better and faster.
