Here's a cool one: The Voodoo Cast. Fun to watch and play around with but I don't see it as very practical. There are other, much simpler casts that do the same thing. Take a look.

Thank you, Spydeyrch, but I'm afraid that I'd end up with an elegant but impeneratble knot, or with the hook in my eye, or both.
I understand the one-handed spey cast is a good solution for those times when you don't have room for a back cast. I ran into that situation for the first time yesterday and am looking for a way to cast if it happens again. I was about as deep in the stream as the gentleman in the Voodoo Cast video and couldn't pull off a roll cast that would carry any appreciable distance. I tried an elevated back cast (shown in Orvis videos) and put the fly into the trees.
I appreciate the video, however. Thanks again.
