Hi,

Welcome to theory11!

That was a pretty good routine, I learned a lot from it, it also gave me some ideas on new moves//presentation.

Thanks a lot for your contribution.

I look forward to seeing you around!

To be honest, I didn't really like it. Not trying to be mean, but there are two main reasons why this ACR doesn't really do it for me...

1: There is no real logical flow, except for the fact that every stage, the "card comes to the top." This is a common problem with all ACRs now a days. True, many people like to add as many stages as possible, but that doesn't make it any more magical. You can have a BLOW away, amazing ACR with 3-5 stages. So, make each stage more magical by slowing down, perfecting the technique, and making the patter flow from stage to stage.

2: Your DL could use some work. It is quite telegraphed, and it is quite noticeably different from when you are doing a single card turn over.

Your classic pass however is very beautiful. Great work on that one =)

The phases don't progress in a logical sequence, the first pass seems like it would weaken all of the phases except maybe the bend rise, and maybe the multiple packet rise. I recommend checking out Tommy Wonder's routine on youtube, his routine has a logical flow which get more and more impressive as he continues. Your cardvhandling is good but the routine needs work.

In reference to specific points I didn't like I would say that flipping the deck over to add on cards was unmotivated.

Yeahh... To sum up these guys, it feels too fast, too long, and it looks like you're just performing a sleight demonstration - how many different ways you can bring it to the top. At the moment it feels like that, rather than magic.

Quoted.

Your double lift needs a lot of work.
I would also work a lot on your classic pass before you perform for spectators. Try a classic dribble pass, or maybe a straddle dribble pass. Those are a bit more naturally invisible than a classic pass and/or classic riffle pass.

Agreed with most people above. I would also comment on how your Marlo Tilt was extremely obvious with you playing around with the top card.
