For one, this is illusion Kick attempt. Not IllusionTwist. Or...atleast it came out as IllusionKick attempt anyway. But it wasn't a bad attempt thats forsure.

Prob just twist your torso more on take off so that you can look over your shoulder and open up. Looks like you are thinking of it too much as a btwist.
Now if you are going for an illusiontwist and not illusion kick, thinking of it as a btwist is fine. Just kick that leg around hard like a hyper 360 cresent and land on that beast. I kinda think of it like a BtwistRound, but with other leg (outside cresent instead).

Good luck man, almost there. :good:

open up earlier and try to keep your body more upright when you open that way your kick can come out way smoother and you wont have to pull it around so hard

Hmm...so illusion twist is a hypered illusion kick?

I suppose you could put it like that. Its more just a Btwist with a big outside kick in the middle of it. You still take off and land on the same foot though. Just kick outwards with it mid-twist.

I thought a btwist with an outside kick was a shuriken twist?
