Here's my performance of the bottom deal, after practicing for 4 months. I will start to practice dealing and sailing the cards in a near future. Tell me what do you think about it.

The actual mechanics of your deal seem pretty good, though you aren't pushing the top card out enough so it doesn't really look like you are taking it. There is a big hole in your rhythm when you come to deal to yourself, there is a lot of emphasis on the cards you are bottom dealing. Its all pretty good though.
 
your bottom deal is okay, for a beginner. you need to work on naturalness of the grip itself, let alone the deal. there is no room for fingerflashing, or the stiff thumb. I suggest you do all the deals in the same grip, and I suggest gene maze grip. you can contact me, and I can give you some more tips on gambling moves in general.
