Mehar, buddy, let me give you a friendly advice on this "I already talked about the 10 yards of personal space. That's not ''personal space,'' I stood that far back because there were people behind me and to the sides."
If you are doing classic color change (aka. erdnase color change), you shouldn't be far away from your audience. The fact that you moved back couple of steps just made everything weaker. Those people that were to the side and behind you still didn't see anything, at least not as clear as you want your magic to be. And on top of that, you made it harder for the actuall spectators who you were performing for to see and enjoy magic.
What you should have done is stay close to your spectators, finish the effect for them, let them enjoy it in it's fullest, and then approach that group to the side or behind, and be personal with them.
