Actually ... the reason isn't too interesting. I normally practice in front of a mirror; and in this video the playback window on the camera served as my mirror. It really helps me tighten up all of the illusions when i have direct visual feedback from an outside perspective. It certainly looks like I am looking into the camera lens; but really I am looking just off to the side of it :) Hi Eric!

I know it's irrelevent, but why did you choose to look into the lens so much? It's what they tell everyone not to do, and rightly so. Why violate this "rule"? It pulls the viewer away from the work to look "back" at you, so the work becomes harder to see. Not a quibble, but curiosity. You must have done it deliberately, eh? =E Again, again, very fine work!
