This is a wonderful trick. I've had the idea of doing the paddle move with a straw before, but this
actually takes it to a whole new dimension.
one very important thing to consider is where
you plan on performing this trick. I can't imagine anyone performing this professionally, although
if you have a place for it in your set, by all means, go ahead!
The type of place a trick
like this should be performed is while you're hanging out with friends in a restaurant or coffee
shop. To that end, I would not recommend this trick. With a trick like this you have to be able to
hand the straw out or at the very least put it in your drink and leave it there for a bit, drinking
out of it occasionally. However, you can't actually do that with this trick as the back of the straw
is very dirty.
Ending the trick the way Michael does, by having to say "and I'll just put
it in my pocket" just doesn't fly when this is supposedly the straw you need for your drink.
It is still a great trick, and it is well taught (other than the point that he recommends
putting the straw with a sleeve on it in your drink. What are you going to do next? If it turns at
all they'll see the prep work and you can't drink from it anyway.)
I do recommend it still,
but consider where you want to perform it and if these considerations will be issues for you before
purchasing.
Great trick-some things to consider
