HandShadowGraphy - Welcome to the exquisite world of shadows (scroll down for video of performance)

It's interesting to watch, but the real fun is in trying it yourself...

The cinema I was in last Tuesday suffered a blackout and after one minute the emergency generator also stopped working so the theatre was really pitch black. But someone had a flashlight and did some HandShadowGraphy on the big screen, in front of a captive audience. It was really fun, and I was somewhat dissapointed when,after 5 minutes, staff came in and told everybody to leave the theatre.

The video won't play right for me. It's seems to play at about 10x's faster than it's supposed to. Is it just me?
