oxdotter, your title kinda sux. Is there something about the word "aim" you can't use?

Well, I suppose it should have been "More Amazing Can Tossers." I was trying to connect it to the other submission. What title would you have used?

Definitely stay away from “tossers”.

What makes these vids for me is their utter nonchalance après toss.

Yeah, but you can tell they are trying hard on that when you look at the outtakes at the end.

"Can tossers" is such an unfortunate title.

And Arvana....they're French. C'est comment ils font.

This is surprisingly addictive to watch.

Given that they're French, "can tossers" seems a very apt title.

Vrai, rembar, très vrai.

Baqueta, you must be English!

That's pretty neat. I like the guy kicking cans on his cell phone.

I kept wondering how many times they had to retry those shots, looking like a jackass as they suavely walked away from their missed shot. Then the outtakes came. Weeee!

It got so many votes because Ant liked it and put it on Blues News. It made it out of the sift because it was cool despite some introductory flaws. There. Mysteries solved.

There was a lot of controversy in the first vid about whether or not the cans were digitally added.

It was widely believed and now proven that the secret to the success of these videos is that they try and try and try again, and all the while looking extremely casual and matter-of-fact. Editing together just the rare successful shots leaves you with a series of clips that impress upon your brain that they can make any impossible shot at will and while paying little to no attention.

A little slight of hand and a little editing magic. They're just video illusionists. (They should call their troupe "The Criss Angels.")

Can't believe this hasn't been sifted before, the videos are more than a year old. There was a pretty long documentary on them in german television. As lucky760 said, it's just a lot of bad tries involved that you just don't see. According to them they needed about 4-5000 tries for the first video.
