AWESOME! So creative and hilarious, and i love productions from flash paper, as do spectators. I guess the only thing that could have topped his magical proposal entertainment-wise would have been if she pulled out a string from her mouth with the letters, "N-O."

Craig, this was a very creative way to propose. I bet the woman in question was quite thrilled at the effort her fiance made.
If you ever get married, then I will be more willing to accept your critical comments on the matter, since coming from a different culture and continent, and merely making snarky remarks without having any first-hand experience in such matters, doesn't lend your opinion much validity.

Re: This Made the Huffington Post!
Sorry, Richard ... I showed this video to a number of my friends as I was genuinely interested as to how they perceived the magic in such a setting ( it can so often come across as cheesy ) - and maybe its an American cultural difference, but not a single one of them found the thought of shoving a can of alphabet spaghetti in ones mouth as a magic trick romantic at all.
Sure - it was creative - but classy ... at least at this end of the world ... not so much
This though was tons of fun:

It was very creative, and I'm glad it worked out for him (He chose his "victim" well apparently )
However, public proposals have always given me the willies ever since I saw this:

West threatened to say "NO!" if I proposed to her onstage, so I did it in the Seance Room at the Magic Castle.

I think South African and American culture have zero to do with one another.
Everything is relative: that's a known blind spot for you, Craig.

This caused a massive buzz here. I have heard no negative comments at all.

Re: This Made the Huffington Post!
I was going to post a video of the best magic themed proposal I've seen: magician Mike Michaels reaching through the glass wall of a casino aquarium to get the engagement ring.
However, in trying to Google this, I came across something even stranger. Apparently, the bride-to-be is a horror movie aficionado who decided last October to take a walking tour of the locations where "Halloween" was filmed. Little did she know...
