Oh goodness gracious me.
XCMentalist, do you realise that you shouldn't actually do a trick until it's thoroughly practiced?
I mean, you did the movements right, but there were so many tiny errors.
The double lift looked really hesitant, as if you were doing something fishy. You should be striving to look perfectly natural.
Also, you do realise that silver surfing the double down the spread is used as a convincer. Your double was placed so painfully far down the spread, it didn't even slide. It didn't look good, at all.
When you're positioning cards on top of the left hand packet, you do realise it's an action you're supposed to smooth over, because there really is no motivation for you to place cards there. You should, under no circumstances, pause, and then place the cards on top, it puts far too much focus on it. You should ideally be placing the few cards on top of it when you place the X-card in the right hand spread.
Also, your break was painfully obvious. Even people not looking for it would see it.
Practice that over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Please don't perform, let alone film, anything unless it is completely practiced and you can do it perfectly every single time.
I'm starting to agree with RDC about this forum truly dying.
Johnny, yours was fine. Do you have any vids of you performing it live?
