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.

Wow, that's something! Lightning might have been softer, but probably a ribbon. 9

Wine glasses made it interesting. The sword made it amazing.

might have looked better if the wine did not blend into the background. Nice shot though.

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?)
