pretty nice effect, but put the music lower....i can't hear what you're saying d:

I couldn't tell what was happening or was supposed to happen because the music covered your voice.

I'm so glad to hear others complain about this problem and it's not to the original poster, I encounter it a lot of the time and even with Tv Commercials in which they play with the sound in order to get your attention and in so doing, drown out the actual sales pitch. Toss on the fade of trying to create a music video rather than sell a product and voila! The marketer shoots himself in the foot and looses public interest/support.

UNDERSTAND, I'm not ridiculing our young friend here, I'm pointing out how the sound thing is a growing problem; evidence that people aren't focusing on the chief priority.

The effect was so so but yeah...delete the music out altogether on this performance so we can here the patter / presentation.
One weakness of the effect is that you don't flash both sides of the card when you take it from the wallet.

Ya I understand about the music thing. I was just playing around with some video editing stuff and wanted to see how it worked.
But sadly I can not show both sides of the original drivers license. But, I dont think a lay person would really be focused on that part of it. I don;t think they would suspect that at all. I think sometimes we think too much as magicians and what we think and not so much what lay people think. But, I have worked out a way to be able to show both cards before and after.

 

[RickEverhart]

Yeah...you are probably right about a layman not calling you out on the original license not being shown both sides. It was just the first thing I noticed but it could be just the way we magicians analyze everything. Good luck with it and keep performing it
