Without commenting on presentation I think it would add to the believability of the effect if, once you make the faces come back with the clipshift, you fan the cards to make it seem normal. Just like you did when they dissapeared, do so when the appear. The audience won't notice the change of fans, don't worry ;) Gustav

Excuse my bluntness but your presentation was very boring. Presentation is at least 50% of magic. If you can do the technical aspect, that's great, but without a performance its not really anything. You should at least pretend that you're amazed, in case your audience isn't.

Great job, but when you show the deck to be normal, fan it, so that it matches the blank fan. also don't say that it is a normal deck because it arouses suspicion that it is not.

Great job with the technical aspects of the trick. The clipshift was invisible, The changes and fans were flawless. However, you need some presentation, especially at the beginning. It kills me to hear people say "I have a normal deck of cards" in a blunt, toneless voice. Try to use implication to show that the deck is normal. Build a presentation so that turning the deck blank makes sense. Also, when you display the cards the first time, Fan them so that the display will match your blank fan. Overall, great job. 4/5 -Dmagic

I thought it was good but I would show the faces of the cards by doing a fan the other way because it looks weird when you spread through to show all have faces but then fan them to show all are blank, you know what I mean.

Good work, I agree with both cut and sean. Very easy, but clean and effective. You really should have some more personality though. Kinda reminds me of how the Bucks presented the magic of the Trilogy, but that was a good thing so people could come up with their own stuff not to copy a completely boring presentation. Just seems boring but executed well 4/5.

I liked that =) One thing I would say though, is that you didn't sound very excited about your magic. What you did was incredibly astonishing to a lay person, but if you don't get excited and find something awesome about it, then they won't, other than the initial shock of the effect. Granted I know it's hard when it's just for a camera, but that's no limitation to how much fun you can have! :D - Sean
