In the end we both put a lot of effort into producing these sequences.
The general reception was better than we expected: without much advertising we hit around 500 youtube and vimeo views in the first week within posting.
At this point I am not sure how co-operation with Radek will continue yet I would love to produce further clip of his performances.
This sequence was meant to be a classic and dynamic promotional reel.
An idea for further co-operation I have would be to put aside the luxurious modern image of sleight of hand and produce a different piece of image which would resemble a more traditional approach to magic: more towards dark arts, something unknown instead of bold, something mysterious rather than classy.
I remember how I enjoyed the meditation sequence from the Sherlock Holmes movie.
It creates an unique, supernatural atmosphere by adding together a low-lit room with grungy walls and the echoing voices.
Setting up similar atmosphere with 'dark' music and more sophisticated tricks (this would be more explosions and levitating objects instead of cards and coins) to make it look as a ritual of some sort.
The one I was particularly interested in was If I had a heart by Fever Ray. See the video for reference, it is dark enough already, yet we could make it stand out even further.
If we have enough time and manage to secure a location to match our setting, I am sure we will produce another succesful project.
