A lot of work you say? I will definitely pay less attention to my doubles in the future, so thank you! I mean really, how much attention does a simple DL need? :)
First of all, a DL is far from simple. But I think what he means is not paying attention to the move when you are doing it. If you focus on the deck while you are making a move, the audience will also focus on the deck, exactly when you don't want them to. So you give them something else to think about and do the move at a different moment. There is no such thing as an invisible double (or an invisible pass, for that matter, and I've seen the best up close). Max Malini had it right. You wait until they're not looking.
Hope this helps.
I liked the effect but I watched it without sound so it was very boring for the first half of the clip.
i liked the color changes but I thought your doubles need a LOT of work, you are being so careful and paying attention to turning over that card, that it focuses me (the spec) on that and it's obvious that there's a sleight occuring. do it on the "off beat" as part of another motion or something, or do it alot faster. 3/5 stars from me dogg.
Okay, i'm going to be the "odd duck" here and go against the grain... I really didn't enjoy that very much. Your patter, though a good idea, was kinda plain... There was no reasoning behind the "heat" theme other than heating up a card... it was just weird and kinda broken... You studdered along and your wording and way of delivering the lines just turned me off...
Now, to the effect...
Handling was good, could have been smoother but we all could be smoother. The color changes took a little to long to execute in my opinion and made your right hand become kinda obvious. Also, at the end, use a block pushover instead of that double thingy...
Please take nothing i've said as "Bashing" you... I am simply giving my opinion and hope that it will help you.

Good performance, would have been better for a living person of course, but I'll take what I can get ;) You seemed nervous, which you proved to me that you don't need to be. I would recommend you justify your moves more, they seem a bit fishy. Other than that, good job! Also, I liked your attire, it went along well with what you're doing.
Peace
Michael,
Very nice work. You seemed a bit nervous early on but once you got rolling everything looked very smooth and your patter was solid. Gave it a 5/5 bud I really liked your presentation. Great job and look forward to more of your magic videos.

Great performance ,very smooth. The audio made it seem like you were stumbling over your words a little bit, but I can see that you performed the trick very well. 5/5
