Well - "terrible" and "not ready" were hardly the words I expected.
In regards to length, I didn't expect it to be that long. I wanted to jam-pack some changes because I'm a big fan.
As for the lighting, if I turn up the white balance any more, you can hardly see the faces of the cards.
I'm an intermediate card guy, at least in my view. I don't think I do horrible sleights, so I'm kind of confused. But to each his own.
Thanks for the compliments as well, demon.

Magicman1212, I don't think I flashed on anything. I wish people would stop complaining about my videos.
I have gotten some good critique from them - like Demon, where he suggested betterment in my routine. I was appalled that he thought I shouldn't have submitted a video.
My DL was not awful.
I know the video was too long - I GET IT! OK?
I might never make a video again. People will always find something wrong with it. Perhaps one day when I'm better by everyone else's standards, I don't know.
Please just vote on the video. Thank you.

Hey man, please remember that I said the lighting was terrible, not you.
..Couldn't you have just turned on a light?
Man..what did RD, Ke'oke and I tell you about Magicman?
please remember, you posted all your videos here because you wanted critique. We are NOT here to attack you. (well, some people are...But I'm sure you can figure out who those people are yourself.)
man, I think pretty much ALL the videos submitter here shouldn't be up. You just need some work man.
Now you saying that is ruining the point of critique. Your DL wasn't awful, but it does need some work.
People are always going to be unsatisfied with anything you EVER do in life. Ever. Just improve. If you stop showing people your magic, you can't get critique on it. Something is telling me that you don't get critiqued a lot. That's why you are fighting it. Just take what we say, think about it, and see if it will actually help your magic.
OK buddy just keep saying things about me, seriously what did I ever do to you, not listen to your advice?, say I want to be the best card magician, if any of those are the reason then get a life man, and also you know his technique is not very good but for some odd reason people are sticking up for him.
Vanish
Wonderful changes and a good variety. Liked the idea of using window, as a color change. Wait that sounded weird, anyway add a bit of presentation and you are good to go.
Ian
To long of a video but aside from that. You clearly demonstrated you can in fact do a cardini over and over without fail *high five* I can tell you have been practicing. Anyway same thing I said to Vanish, a little presentation and you are good to go in the real world.
One thing people need to realize is magic is not meant to fool magicians. If you are in magic for that reason, run the other direction. There are people who like perfection in card moves and that is okay and an honorable goal. With that said though, as a general observation (my opinion) one may have impeccably flawless card moves but have a terrible presentation. If your presentation is lacking your whole performance lacks as well.
Just because your card technique isn't perfect doesn't mean we are not going to stick up for them. Especially from a very rocky start by introducing him the real negativity of the forums, if you don't have something nice to say its a general rule to not say it. You see something wrong with the video say whats wrong with it and move on. Don't type a full gosh darn paragraph about the negative. Now onwards.
This is the key point why we make fun of you so much, you have this ability to think to highly of yourself. Taking yourself to seriously seems to be your downfall. He is obviously very new to magic so don't scare him away with your arrogant ways. Are you noting I am being very polite about this? The videos he has produced is no more harming then yours, the only ones who see it are other magicians.

Prae are you talking to me or magicman1212?
