Half Vanish 2.

[yyyyyyy]

Helloo, good to be back on the forums. I haven't done much magic recently, I've been very focused on flourishing. This is a variation of Daniel Madison's Half Vanish. The trick developed from a desire to slow down the original trick and enjoy the smaller moments. I changed the original quite a bit, so I'd love to hear some feedback.

0:11 - Interesting use of color and desaturation, but I'm not crazy about the framing.
0:19 - Slow, deliberate movements match the tempo of the music, which is a nice change from what I usually see.
0:33 - Could probably cut out some of the gestures. Too much handwashing or similar moves draws unnecessary attention to itself.
0:43 - I would have done the reveal a little slower, but otherwise a good execution.

you gotta be careful when your sliding out the card because some cards under it got moved a bit and it doesn' look as clean

Duly noted, I'll work more on my shot composition. I'm a bit rough around the edges with my execution of the trick, I'll try to tighten things up. Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated.

I knew someone would call me on that one. It was a bad day for my Erdnase. My hands were very dry for some reason and I couldn't get the card to stick, so I tried to fix it by applying more pressure but it moved the whole pack. But you're correct, thanks for your feedback.
