Nice job buddy. 
One thing that concerned me was the speed you went with your counts, try and keep a steady rhythm when doing those things, rhythm is essential to a convincing illusion - no one is chasing you, stop running.
On your first display of the cards (Joker,Selection,Joker). Take it slow, read through the description of the display again, read through it slowly with cards in hand. I know it seems like such an easy thing to do, but trust me if you do it slowly and you do it right, it's totally deceptive and looks so natural with a rhythm. In the nicest way possible, when you displayed them it seemed kind of moveish?... Erm, like there was a huge spike in the tension-o-meter. where you did this move or what have you; does that make sense?
The point of that move is to display the cards openly and fairly and at such a rhythm that when the time comes, everything is covered and everyone is deceived out in the open.
Read through that display section again, and go over it slowly, study how it's been structured to not only deceive the eyes but so that the sense of rhythm and fluidity is never lost.
Hope that helped you there buddy. I only watched it once, and that's all I have to comment on.

You certainly have the moves down.
My only and only thing i dislike is the overcounting of the cards, but i mean it depends on how you present it.
BUT it was great, hope it gets great reactions for you

Thank You for the advice. In your opinion do you think I should delete it and tape it again in a couple of days?

In my opinion, I'd take it down, but keep the video so you can compare them yourself and see.
I've added you as a friend on stickam

I thought it was pretty good but I would stop trying to do a card spin every 10 seconds. Is that the exact patter that you use when you perform it for people?
