I have been practicing this effect for a long time now and believe I have it very good. Please give me all the advice you can and please comment: http://vimeo.com/2064425
I personally don't know how to do the queens but I'd say all you have to do is work on smoothness and speed a little bit. It looks pretty good.
And nice shirt by the way.
All I can say is that there was a little bit of 'residue' after the ego change, while you spun the deck. Everyone seems to spin the deck after ego, yet it's not really necessary.
You could also cover it possibly in the motion of spreading. It's more of a personal preference thing, I thought it might end up looking cleaner without the spin but I'm sure it didn't take much away as well.
Excellent job on the handling, but you need to make those Queens come back!
I'd like to see a production for this routine that isn't split second in your face style. I really think it would balance out the routine if each queen was reproduced one by one in the same tempo that they went away.
That's where you spin a card on your finger right? Those are the good points from your point of view. From my point of view I liked the part where the Queens disappeared one by one.

It's not necessary, but it's not uncalled for either. Basically all you are doing is an all around square up, which is something I always find myself doing while playing with cards. You just did something to the cards where they spread a bit, so you have every reason to want to square them up.
This is all I had to say, it seems like you were hesitating how to move the cards next at certain points. Just keep it flowing and do what you gotta do!
Really, really liked it. Didn't see when or where you did the first vanish at all and I was looking out for it. All the vanishes were pretty nice and the ego...well it didn't seem fishy to me spinning the deck round and I don't know the ego so I think I have an unbiased view.

Im just saying, there was some flashing when you spun the deck. Like Sir Fansalot said, a spread seems to me like a more appropriate move, but, heck, it's your performance.
