Not bad. I agree with the sliding advice. Instead, you want to use the "blade" of your hand (the part that runs from the bottom of yoru pinkie to your wrist) and slide the card as you are putting your hand down. You might want to learn a rub-a-dub vanish to add in the routine. Keep it up though, it wasn't bad.
The actual sleights were not bad.
But the actual performance was kind've bad in my opinion.
Firstly, you can try to make the tent vanish a little more visual, especailly for camera.
Next- it felt like you had no idea what the effect of the trick was! You made performing mistakes, and sounded like you were very hesitant about some stuff.
The patter was exactly the same as Wayne Houchin's perofrmance, especailly the beginning.
Learn the effect well before performing it. Get INTO the effect. Feel it. Understand what you're trying to show and do that.
A little more practise and a few cahnes he and there and it'd be cool.

No problem.
For some reason, I knew you were the type of guy that would appreciate the advice.
Good job buddy!
First, when you start off, don't count the cards as you peel them off the deck. It's over-proving, and can lead to suspicion. Saying four cards, then peeling them off is enough.
Secondly, it was hard to see the fourth ace when you first showed those were the four cards you had.
Thirdly, as other have said, try not to slide on the drop. A quick pat down with a sidewards motion is enough, if that makes sense.
Lastly, and this is my opinion, you said invisible palm too much. I'd work on the patter a tad bit.
Other than that, nice job!

i thought it was good... the sliding can really kill the effect though because most spectators will be looking for the answer and the sliding can allow them to find it...
I thought the patter was pretty good... u seemed to be a little rushed but it was good... I do my routine almost the same as wayne houchin, which i guess isnt a good thing but it works for me so i continue to use it

Good job. But like everybody said don't slide the cards it a little suspicius and can give the trick away but other than that good job.
You play poker with your friends? You gamble kid? AND cheat? Kids these days ..

I really like your performing persona, I personally become extremly happy when I see young performers deliver patter like that, shows you're putting work!
I'll be PMing you soon, I think some points I'd point out might lead to exposure on these public forums
Cheers,
