Reminds me of the vid on Youtube titled "How to crack a whip like Indiana Jones".

The woman that wrote that article emailed me while I was in Australia, and she then interviewed me on the phone for the article. She found me through my YouTube videos and had me give a rundown of how to do the cattleman's crack. She specifically asked me how to wrap a remote controll with a whip, because that was the story idea that she already had. I said it wasn't really possible. I guess she kept calling around until she found someone who said it was.

I guess as a publicity move, Anthony did the right thing by giving the writer what she wanted. Perhaps with a lot of practice, the right remote, and the right whip, it might be possible. I personally think latigo or whitehide falls are too stiff and heavy to wrap a light, free-standing object like a remote without knocking it over first.

I will, however, be very happy to be proven wrong.

PS: Am I sore that she didn't use my interview? Yup.

Great article I can just see me now sending the remote through a window. I'm not sure if my wife would understand my rationale. Lots of fun, thanks for posting this.
