Another good clip is here, where he ’s having a smoke. Try to notice just how little he does to make it look like a lot. It is a very beautiful show and in what is technically called “Economy of movements”. That means that you use the minimum of energy and movement that is needed to make the biggest possible effect.

Just one comment: he is talking Belgian in the first 10 seconds of the show and then comes the trick.

Remember that even though it is a funny clip, there’s a lot to learn for the curious of you The keyword for this clip is “Economy of movements“.
