Is there anything else I would need improvement with?

well... my routine is always a ambitious card routine. but i always do the same routine, so i decided to just mess around a bit with the tricks... but if you could judge my execution of the tricks... is there anything that i would need to improve? skill-wise?

hey guys, its been a while since my last post. well i made a video doing some street magic on my higshool to my friends, and i would really love some constructive critizism on it. I am from Puerto Rico and our native language is spanish so sorry for any inconvenience but nonetheless i didnt do...

Thank you (: i appreiate al of ur constructive criticism. Altough my question is to why is my routine not right? And how should i improve this? Also the first trick was a card production as to reveal the spectator card by dropping the whole deck and their selecrion stuck to my hand then i...

Thanks a lot for that video! deffinetly made my day and inspired me (: i have only performed at school, but everybody knows me, so its the the same feelings, since they were exactly strangers, and they knew what i did. But going to people uve never met and actually getting those reactions feels...

First let me introduce my self for those who do not know me, since im new to this forum. My name is Christian Vazquez, im 16 years old, and i live in Puerto Rico. I do not think i am the best magician around, but i do have plenty of knowledge and experience in magic and flourishing. i practice...

I agree (:

A great example of this would be David Copperfield's Grandpa Aces, wich i guess many of you have seen it. If not I encourage you to watch it to see how magic can speak for itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQQctx7254M :D

well i strongly suggest you go to www.miquelroman.com and start there, the page is a collection of free excelent quality tutorials made by proffesional flourishes and taught in complete detail, miquel (the web host) has the flourishes divided in sections, and such. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you start...

i agree a 100% on that second quote from Darwin that ChrisWiens posted. A trick does not exactly have to be simple to seem magical, but how simple the performer PERFORMS the trick and how smooth. Thus the patter and sleight of hand will make two functions: giving strenght to the effect and...

So you mean that the power of the effect/ routine you are doing will come from yourself, how you take that vessel and produce it, thus having the ultimate payoff?

well dont get me wrong, this thread isnt about me, or about what i think. im not saying i think a bunch of sleight s is better or anything, i simply want to other peoples opinions aswell (: just saying. and also i want to add that i just see that on a layman point of view, a simple color change...

Well first of all let me explain the title. As ive experienced myself and seen many other magicians aswell, some of the biggest reactions come from tricks extremely simple and wich have made me wonder, if a much more simple sleight of hand moves just give bigger reactions because of its...

very good, really smooth. Deffinetely enjoyed it. well done!

May I suggest The Biddle Trick by Brad Christian? its pretty simple, and it involves a member of the audience, wich is what makes the effect powerful, since it has no funny moves and no extremely difficult sleight of hand. It is very powerful, if performed correctly of course. I leave you the...

Wow, Thanks for all ur help, i will deffinetly take all the advice given and improve (: again thank yo very very much!

thank you (:

Thanks a lot for your help. and I have one last question, How do i deal with overcoming the fear of failure?... i mean it sounds silly, but its something inevitable that comes to mind...
