theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards

Voting Open: Self Created Display

It's aright. I just started flourishing about 6-7 months ago, I'm more of a magic man myself (4 years).
 
Alright, these tips are for both of you to reflect on etc.
But here's what I saw in both videos...

Hey Ayli!

Here are my thoughts and thing for you to work on from seeing this video...
Originality in this display was low. Okay- There was none. I've seen this display 300 times and I've only liked one of them (Tower Display by Jerry C from the Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes). The flow and smoothness of getting into and out of the display was choppy, and just wasn't "eye catching." I don't know what was with the dancing while you were displaying the cards -that's the camera mans job (yes... he dances..) I could obivously tell ther WAS a camera person due to the fact that it was moving.
Don't take this as an insult. Continue what you're doing, and build off the tips and feedback the community has for you.

As for you magicman2292...

Your display was good. The only problem I had was getting into and out of it. The movements were choppy and lacked style. Try to add a "this is my style" feel to the opener and closer. The display, again was a buncha packets. I could do way more by doing a spring and pausing it half way... easily a 52 packet display... haha

Either way, good job both of you! Good luck on your battle!
