Yes,I admit it, I stole the purple cloth from Heida( actually a flannel bed sheet as Keegbow pointed out) because it looked less mystic when I did it in a tee shirt.The whole robed in purple adds that Tolkinesque quality that make sword balancing seem less silly. I can do this balance trick with the sword and there are people who can do the wine glass platter on the sword trick, I'm just not one of them. I made up for this lack of skill by sticking a piece of shelving under the books in a bookshelf and perching the tray with the glasses on it, and hanging the sword on a nail hammered in the end of the board. By draping the whole thing with black fabric it hid the support. Cheap trick, but I kept my glassware intact. The lighting sort of failed but it was fun to do anyway.
good image showing balance but the cloak distracts me a little, I don't know if you intended but it looks a bit like a crumpled bed sheet. still scored it high though
Fun and magical. Having the mysterious person here works better than the balancing trick would on its own. I like the purple drapes, Wish the lighting weren't so harsh on the face. Good illusion (or is it real?)
