Great content as always - why is the audio buzzing/humming so much?

Awesome reviews again this week. Keep em coming

ps. I do have to disagree though about Wilson's confabulation routine. I bought the disc just for that effect and it was the worst confabulation handling I've ever seen.

Ya I'm being picky - I guess I'm feeling slightly vengeful still after they panned Psypher !

The reviews are superb and I really look forward to the episodes weekly. Thanks boys and get off the sticks...

Hmm - I didn't get any humming when I watched it? Weird.

I enjoyed the review. The Dan Army bit was hilarious.

Thanks for the comments guys! Glad you are enjoying the show.

Regarding the humming I don't understand what's happening there as only a couple of people have said they heard anytthing.

I'll check into it.

The humming could be their cellphone causing interference with their computer speakers.

First of all, it's not that big of deal...doesn't affect the value of the reviews. I work with video and am very aware of what cell phone interference sounds like.

If you want to hear it, however, go to about 8 minutes in. If you need to, pause and restart a few times while it's playing. It's a low frequency hum. I'm pretty sure I'm not insane, at least the voices say I'm not!! (Seriously it does get pretty loud around 8 minutes)

That said, I won't mention it again as I was only trying to be constructive but there are certainly more interesting magical points to the video that we can talk about.

The humming can be heard if the ambient noise in the room is low. I was watching the review earlier this morning and I could hear it. Also the bullet sound at the start is a lot louder than the rest of the video, so I have to adjust the volume during the first few seconds. Having said that I'm a big fan of the reviews and these minor issues do not come in the way at all.

I liked your Lecture as well and will purchase the bag DVD soon.

Thanks guys.

The problem is show is normally filmed by John Farr but this week and last week he has been on holiday. He normally films everything and listens on headphones regulating the sound. Without John Dave and I have had to film the show ourselves which has made it difficult to keep an eye on noise and made it all but impossible to 'get it off the sticks!'. Hopefully this will no longer be an issue when John is back!

Thanks again and I'm glad you are enjoying the show.

Craig.

I love the look of the routine. The visual of the envelope hanging down from the pad is excellent IMO. Althpugh there are some problems with the handling I think these can be cleared up and when they are you are left with a very clean looking routine!

I agree. The idea has great promise. But his handling was horrible. His silk routine was great however.

Thanks Michael.

Sometimes Eric when I'm watching a DVD an idea for something can excite me just as much as the actual effect. But your right, I'm sure there is a better way to deal with the handling.

Special request:

For the New Years 2011 show can you guys wear a tux? Now how cool would that be? !

Cant wait to see your reviews this week, especially of the Gion Deck.
