Honest Opinions

[DellusionalCoot]

I've been doing this for about a year now and I wanted to get your opinions on what I got.


Here's my Youtube channel:

A lot of that seems pretty slick, but sometimes the camera cuts you off before it seems like the effect is really over and it all goes by a bit fast for me. I know some moves have to be fast, but it helps the magic come off if you go slowly, delicately, and really let things sink in for people. Also, it's practically impossible to tell anything about patter or presentation from these.

I didn't watch a single video and i don't need to. Your longest video is 16 seconds, that's not magic, that's just an effect. Go and perform for somebody film it then come back. Theres so much more to magic then what your hands do.

"Magic happens not in the hands of the magician, but in the mind of the spectator"

Well....I agree with the previous posters Red and Anthony. You obviously have some skill and I did watch the videos, but as mentioned, some of the footage cuts off way too quickly and what you are doing doesn't show us that you can go entertain a spectator / audience. You certainly wouldn't just walk up to a table and say "Watch this..." and then perform one of the 10-16 second moves you know.

You seem to have the moves down.

What is not apparent is if you have any routines, any patter, any presentation, or any ability to entertain with this. These are demonstrations of sleights.

My advice would be to find a way to be entertaining with this. Figure out where you'd like to perform, and build a suitable act.
