I voted Gary, but it was very close.
Man Zach, I still say our styles are almost identical.

I went for Gary aswell.
You are both very good, but I just liked Gary’s video better.
The intro was kinda funny. I did hate the music, so I turned it off.
Zach Smith’s video seemed to have more work done on the editing, with different camera positions. Sadly it was the switching cameras that was a turn off for me. While I can see why it was done, it just didnt work for me. It ruined the flow of the trick, and made it look like the trick wasn’t done in one go - but was put together by several recordings. I hate to be negative when the video (in my oppinion) had more work done in how it was put together =/

Agreed, I wanted to show a different angle for different parts of the trick, but upon further inspection, it was too much. Crap. 😕
