Well, the first comment is that I just watched almost two minutes of you performing and I couldn't pick you out of a crowd. Disembodied hands doing stuff with cards is boring. Show some personality and show your face so we know who you are.

The last production looked like a simplified (And less interesting) version of Thunderbird by Lee Asher. It just looked like you were reaching into a stack of palmed cards and pulling them out one by one. No mystery, no build up, no intrigue.

You execute the moves decently, but I think you need to spend more time practicing. Every production had a moment of getting ready in it, and that detracted from the overall effect of producing the cards. You look like you're pausing to remember what you do next. Maybe you were trying to build suspense or something, but that doesn't work when you've just spent over a minute repeating variations of the same trick. We know you're going to produce four pre-arranged cards. Just do it and at least make it look good.

Lastly - A minute and a half of the same thing to repetitive music is boring. I only finished the video because I held on to the hope that you'd do something interesting somewhere in there.

You obviously have some skill. It needs more honing, but it's there and you've got a very solid start on that. Now you need to learn how to be entertaining.

Next time i will try something new
Repeating the same move with different versions is because
I didn't learn that move from any DVD, I just make it myself(maybe some dvd may have some similar production.)
Anyways, thank you for your commments:)

It's very similar to other productions, but that's fine. Doesn't matter. There's only so many ways one can make four of a kind come out of a deck. The problem is that you did that same basic thing over and over with no real presentation or major variation. A shorter video would have been better if this is all you want to do, but better yet would be to actually do a performance and not just do a single move. That means seeing your face, and the performance having some kind of point.
