The Invisible Palm - Revealed

don't say 'it's palmed but invisible' and have your hand palm up wide open. that's NOT how you would hold an invisible palmed card.

its good for u to performance here because ppl can help u out dont show on the street too early practice more

how many times u have practice

u do the last king too bad its like reveal for me i used to feel amusing by this trick

u pull out the five is too obvious. i think your can pull just a little bit

You did it, but I didn't like your presentation.

Didn't like the presentation. also, I think the original Invisible Palm better - really boring to see everyone do this one...

Not very good man. The trick went by hella slowly, and like miika said, you should follow the d.m. great advice of making your spectators feel on the exact same level as you so you can connect with them. You shouldn't be trying to portray someone on a higher level than your audience and try to make it look like you know something they don't, you should try to be as equal as possible.

i totally agree with kcardum's above comment. the patter needs a lot of work; it's so matter of fact - very very cold. your vanishes need work, you can see everything about how the move works. good luck.

I found that the trick was decent. work on your vanishes. one thing i hated was the way you talked. you sound like you know everything and didn't sound yourself. work on that

Extremely Boring!

meh.... It was okay. Nothing too amazing

What did your parents tell you about using bridge cards?

I have been working on this trick and have performed it live in a dinning environment and it went fairly well. Now I really should say the video was made months before I posted it first at MVD now here. I felt I would get more of an honest opinion over here then there. By the way thank you everyone who left a comment most if not all were extremely helpful.

for a new trick, it was decent. I agree with a lot of the comments above. You should refilm this now that you have practiced it lots. Or better yet, do it for someone and record it! j

One of the biggest mistakes with invisible palm performances (including WH:S) is when you spread your fingers to show that the card is not there. You should mimic palming of the card and not be as fair as you can be. You are not vanishing the card you are "hiding" it really well.. You want them to believe that you are hiding the card otherwise the solution to the trick is a clear one- you never actually picked it up. Look on the tube how Larry Jennings does his version. He is almost pretending to do palm transfers. This I think is crucial to all invisible palm tricks because the method is a rather transparent one. This is specially true if you are pattering about cheating techniques. You need to be believable..

the tricks its self was ok but the patter was kinda bad in my opinion. i only say that as constructive criticism so please dont take it personal. its not the choice of words that needs improvement although it may, its your tone of voice. it sounded really unatural and im sure u dont talk like that in real life. just be your self. ohh and one more thing, try not to restate that you only have 4 cards. although as a magician you would think it would make more sense to show 2 times in a row you have 4 cards to over prove it. your spectator will become suspicious. one time is enough to set the fact or illusion in there head. giovanni

Patter. You seemed to have just learned this, made up some patter, and not practiced enough. It seemed that you were making up what to say on the spot. While you shouldn't have what you're going to say down pat, word for word, robotic-like, you should have a few sentences you know you'll throw in, and your story should go smoothly overall. Also, you went painfully slow. While, with good, smooth patter, this might be the perfect length, I felt that I was being dragged through the trick. A lot of technical things to fix, but just practice, and remember to keep asking yourself, "What would I be doing if I really had this 'power'?" Smoothness. SG

I like the handling, I really like it. Can I use it???? By the way, it was good until you said, I've been fooling you the whole time, would be better if it looked like they had changed instantly.

Change the patter. You don't want to be the guy who's just doing this to "fool them". You could say that there are cheaters who cheat like that, but don't say that you'll show them how they will get tricked. If you do that you seem like a guy who thinks he's better than anyone else. You want to give something to your audience instead of showing that you're more clever than they are. In the beginning you have some weird handling there. You should start the trick having the kings on top of the deck. Then you don't have to first pick them up and place on top of the deck and then count them there and then place them back on the table. It will flow a lot better. When you place the card down don't do that sliding motion. It can be a dead give away. In the beginning your break flashes a lot. You might want to smooth that up as well. Also practice your tent vanish. A lot of critique, but that's what helps us to become better right? :) Keep it up!
