If I had the ability to make cleeeeeeoooowds dissapear and had to sound that stupid to make it work then I think I'd rather not let anyone know and keep my amazing talent to myself.

OK, I've been practicing...and it's remarkably similar to what happens when I say the name "Muad'Dib", "Cloooooood Disappear" must be a killing word too.

I tried the chant. Had thin clouds. I thought baby steps at first.
Learn to walk before I run.

I think I did it wrong, got heavier cloud than ever.
I must be holding my mouth wrong.

Cheers

It doesn't work....I was walking up & down my street at 3am today chanting the mantra..."CLOOOOWWWWWD DISSAPEAR CLOOWWWDDDD DISSAPEAR"....So I could observe Comet Lovejoy....I didn't repel any of the clouds around Sydney, but I did attract my annoyed neighbours and the local Police!!

I do that every Saturday afternoon, it doesn't work.

I have better luck in giving my cats a couple of fresh prawns and asking them to command the clouds to go away. After all they think they are gods.

Making Progress

This video has truly given me hope, for two reasons. Firstly, I can speak in a very low voice - even lower then his - and being a wannabe bass player I sound a bit like him naturally. Secondly, I notice that he says he has other, previous videos where he makes clouds grow. He started by making them grow. Now I can do that without even trying!! So now I just need to have confidence, a strong voice and not be distracted by the eyes peering over the fence and they'll be siting the next 10m scope in The Gong.

Oh happy day.

Skill?

Hey JJJ

You tapped into something there!
When we surfed we tried to encourage the swell god "Huey" to improve the wave size.
We tried many things and sacrifices until we gave up..maybe we should of contacted that guy?
Have a great Xmas JJJ..keep those images coming.

No matter how much I chanted, it didn't work for Chris and I, last night, babez.

We were huddled up in a cave on the coast waiting for the cloud and rain to clear.

Through some sucker holes, Chris managed to catch a glimpse of the spotlight-like beam teaching up into the sky. We set up our cameras, but, to no avail. He managed to get some crackers of sunrise, though!

I screwed up my roll of 120 Velvia by opening the back, too. Oops.

Last night was a bit of a fail for me. Will head back tonight.

Best of luck to you!
