Well you've obviously been practicing, now the only way to improve it is to show it to spectators over and over again
I agree with Dmagic - getting a break needs work, and both of those suggestions work well.
FYI Reset was first created by Paul Harris, though many including Bebel have their own respective versions.

Maybe have some patter, over all not bad. Also on the note, the ending was part of Gregory Wilson's "Reset with a Hook."
Nice work - getting a break is always going to look a bit suspect from that angle. I'm a big fan of Greg Wilson's Reset with a Hook, although it has to be said that this ending is a bit weak. There's many ways to get around it though - gambler's cop, vernon transfer, drop addition etc etc.
Good job!

thanks the patter was not put in because im a little sick and i dont want to talk cause it hurts and yes getting a break needs work idk i just freeze up when im on camera and usually dont peform as confterably thanks for all the kind words
I haven't seen you in forever- how have you been?
I would agree with the ending being weak the way Greg does it, but I don't mess with the whole Blackjack hand thing, I just do a quick rearrangement and set the cards down on the table- 4 Jacks and 4 Aces.
I don't understand the "hook" in Greg Wilson's routine? What is impressive about placing a jack next to an ace, they were already there. Am i missing something?
yeah, the kid who performed this was supposed to patter about cheating at cards, and at the end, greg says "and i can even cheat if i switch the game to blackjack." so ya
peace.

nice work
I liked it, very smooth. Everyone has mentioned the ending, and they are right. You want to show the queens in the second pile after you change it back to aces.
This is just my preference, I like to make the changes match up, like change the Ace of diamonds into the QD, and the AS into the QS. but I guess I'm just OCD about that.

No I do that too cedwards90 (although I'm rather OCD about it too). For Reset with a Hook to end paired in suits, the order needs to be
JH JS JD JC AD AC AS AH
The suits obviously can change but they gotta be paired in that order.

I'm not so bad - there hasn't really been that much for me to post about on here lately!
Reset is one of my favourite toys - in fact just recently I revisited the Greg Wilson handling and made some interesting adjustments allowing for a show of all four kings in the hand before the reset, at which point all four kings appear to come off the table. I showed it to a magician friend who's reaction was "so where's the duplicate kings?!"
I live for moments like that
By the way, on the subject of Reset, you should check out Larry Jenning's "Flawed Transposition" - its a Reset style trick but definitely a different animal. You can find it in his "Up in Smoke" book or the "Thoughts on cards" DVD. I wouldn't exactly say the handling was perfect, but its fun to play with and the effect is great.
Cheers,
David.
