Good Song. And I'm pretty sure that at 2:27 you captured a bit of erm, well, magic? for lack of a better word. heck, it was a good shot. other than that? as trashmanf said *:P* some of the cuts were a bit choppy and such. Work the Pandora more until posting it, I would say. Also I would really use just 1 deck when filming a video. I just think it is a little more professional that way, just my personal opinion. Is this your first video? 3/5 from me bro. Cheers, CMS

I think you should have opened up and completed the werm display. Other than that, I don't think I can do the flourishes that much better than you. Maybe you should practice easier stuff before the harder stuff.

loved the backgrounds and the filmed quality, but your cuts were painfully slow and choppy,, but hey the backgrounds and stuff (esp when the train passed) were very fun to watch, look forward to your next vid if you keep up the cool concepts. don't make excuses about humid cards btw your fans were okay and humidity doesn't make your cuts choppy I gave it a 3/5 stars because it was a little pitchy dogg

Ah geez. A tough one to rate. There were so many pros and cons that even the video out. =P Ok. First of all, I'm glad to see some rock music in a floruish video. I'm getting a bit tired of everyone using the same kind of music. I've probably seen only about 5 videos with acual ROCK songs. So that was good. Um, The flourishes, er...um...not so pretty. The whole purpose of a flourish if make the deck look pretty. Some of the flourishes were done very sloppy and ended up looking like a mess of cards in your hands. BUT, at the same time, I REALLY like the background. Very original. Not like your average video shot in your bedroom with your underwear and socks in the background. Love those shots were you would follow the train then turn to your hands while you're in mid-flourish. Some of those shots looked REALLY nice and look like something out of a hollywood movie. But, again, the flourishes really brought the video down for me. Your Akira was sloppy and your pandora was pretty ugly too. Don't let this get to your though. I know how hard those flourishes are to make look good. I'm not even saying that I'm any better. Haha. The point is, don't put it in your video until you are ready. Um...like said, a tough video to rate. I was going to give you a 3/5 but after thinking about it more, I think I'll bump you up to a 4/5. Good job. =)

Thanks for the feedback. I made this video just to have something different. You see, it was pretty hot and humid so it makes it twice as hard to handle cards. The cards kept warping and my hands were sticky. Indoors I'm better.

Okay....Im known for my big reviews in my Countries Forums so lets start: Video Editing: I liked the song. and tehree were alot of cool shots but you keept repeating the same stuff. I saw the same flourish 5 times in the first minute or so. Flourishes and so on...: Okay i will say three words "Practise, Practise, Practise..." Some of the flourishes were like learnt the other day and the next you film it. Some of the stuff was good but the video went on, and on , and on. The music and the picture didn´t go together and thats a thing i always spend alot of my editing time on. Finding the right song. As they say " The cards dont make the flourishman, the flourishman does the flourishes..." Thanks for reding, MadMan aka Mikk Pärg(Estonia) EDIT: And Find a Cameraman who can keep hes hands still ;)

It was pretty good, just try to focus on smoothness more than speed.

Chugga Chugga CHOO CHOOO Definately a nice Change in location for filming. Great idea on the setting. Lots of cool scenes a big variety with great angles. Music not bad but maybe a different choice would flow better. Nice Vid Jones Change needs to be polished up a bit. 5/5

The Background is a very nice change from the norm in most other vids. Shame about the music.
