Not bad at all! So I give it a three. (Which is after all entitled "not bad".) You fidgeted way too much with the deck; you didn't seem to be very comfortable. That's very understandable, but I would definitely put an effort into going slower and being more relaxed. Also, you really need to built up to the moment of magical happiness with some good patter or timage. Overall you didn't do a bad job, and you get an extra kudos for getting it filmed!
jenson lol i didnt even know ur vids were up.
seems like i got some competition in vancouver now.
im posting my vids soon too dude lol.
btw awesome performance.
You know what the best part of that video was? The music. I hate change so its great that just about every magic/flourishing video has this same song behind it. The fact that it was an instrumental kind of put me off but it wasnt too much change for me (thank god for that).
On a serious note, the performance was pretty good but try not to be so fidgety with the deck, you came across nervous and like you didnt really have full control of the situation. Just try to act with a bit more confidence. I would give you a 3.5 but since i cant do that ill give you a 4. But please take those notes into consideration, and i look forward to MANY more videos with this music behind it.
Music in the background was a bit necessary, the performance was a bit too fast also. Build it up a bit more!!! Nice job for going out there though, I could tell you were nervous. 4/5
Not bad. Not bad.
As most people have said, it is very rushed. This is one that doesnt need much "cover" so you have plenty of time to show the two cards at the start, and slow down the change. Most of this trick is the presentation, because you can get a terrible reaction from card changes, and you can get great ones. Slow the presentation down, and be more natural with the deck, keep it loose and open. Otherwise, even subconsciously, the audience thinks that more is happening than what they should be.
You fiddle to much with the deck. Doing that excessively draws suspicion to the spectators that something funny is going on.
Also, you don't seem to comfortable and was kind of rushing things. Try to slow down a bit.
However you did seem to make their day so good work.
You said "okay" waaay too many times and it seemed you were uncomfortable.
Also, why are you doing the trick like 3 feet away from them? Couldn't you do this closer so they can see it more clearly? [I apologize if you can't since I don't own it but I think there shouldn't be any problems not performing this closer up]
