If you go for a sleight of hand type of presentation, it could work pretty well as an opener. Nice job!

I did. Your thumb fan could be more even, the same goes for the ribbon spread (btw, the carpet isn't the best place to ribbon spread, it's always dirty and you can spread equally well on glass), the card twirl looked nice, every other flourish could be a lot smoother. The music is so annoying...

Uhh, if I'm capable enough of coming up with an original effect idea, why couldn't I come up with a method of doing it or at least hold onto it until I do? I don't think this is the right way to be looking for inspiration, man. Go out, observe your surroundings, listen to some music you wouldn't...

Ditto. They're not a lot more expensive than bikes and last almost twice as long. Perfect for flourishing, great for magic and once again, awesome for sustaining all sorts of abuse.

Yeah, I saw it now (from clubs to spades), I guess I didn't notice it because of the black eight turning into another black eight.

Like I already said, I understand the presentational flexibility but I still don't think a rising scarecrow/voodoo doll/Michael Jackson fit well in a Christmas theme. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

I like this part a lot, haha! Anyway, just remember that a little humor is great in everything, but don't overuse it, you don't want to sound like a comedian doing a stand-up about obesity, not because you wouldn't sound credible (who knows who George Carlin is?) , but because as far as I...

The effect totally fooled me, I encourage you to keep up with your ideas, it's great to see someone young creating awesome magic using something other than cards and coins and if that certain someone is also not named Calen Morelli, all I can say is well done! I'm looking forward to seeing your...

Some colour change of a picture that says freedom or resembles any other attitutude of the "freedom figters" into a picture that shows a bunch of obese kids eating at McDonald's that's done in the hands (without the whole deck or a bunch of pictures) could fit in nicely. Just show the picture(s)...

Your doubles and colour changes are awesome, especially the colour change that happens from the centre DL. I didn't like spread shots that much, since they send at least one other card flying in the other direction and I'm not sure why did you put that clip at 1:11 where you're just waving with...

I love your "Improving the world" threads, they're very educating and succinct, keep up the good work! :D Oh, and by the way, some of your pronunciations are a little off (at least for those languages that I can speak up to some point), german and czech for example. It's not a big deal, and...

The effect is nice and I'm not familiar with the exact method, but I don't think a voodoo doll would fit well in a Christmas theme. Although I'm an agnostic, I was raised in a Catholic family and if I remember correctly Christmas is that day in the year when Jesus was born, who is the son of...

The performance was swift and precise, just the way it should have been. Who's the author of the change?

I also can't remember anyone advocating XCM as a performance art, although I do agree it has potential. I know for a fact that De'Vo performs professionaly, and I also saw some videos of Tudor doing some XCM in between his effects for the spectators. I'm sure A. Jikh would have something to say...

Classic pass, when done right, is one of the perfect examples of hands being quicker than the eyes. Producing the card from a back palm can also fit into that category. Interesting thread, by the way!

That's true, buying a deck or two is not worth it due to the shipping costs; I have to buy at least a brick of cards to make the shipping cost seem small compared to the products' value.

I've seen some christmas show acts using, among other things, candy canes and some small ornaments, although no act that's based on them. You didn't really describe how would the act look like so I'm not sure how many contructive criticism you're going to get, but a manipulation act with those...

The change was a bit rough, but aside from that and the control issue, a little more refining and practicing will leave you with a solid transposition. :)

I thought as much, something that visual and impromptu must be pretty hardcore. All the more reason to say "bravo" one more time!

I don't think showing him some magic books would help since he's not genuinely interested in magic, like you said. I guess you could try talking to him, explaining what magic means to you and that his actions are hurting the art, although there is a good chance he'll just make fun of you since...
