Again. It just didn't seem that powerful. The way you interacted with them. Plus the two tricks are a bit strange together but that's already been said.

DUDE! Much better this time around on the card to mouth. idk if that was my suggestion u took but nonetheless, great job. Just one more thing, though. Idk if u can do the classic force but if u can, try using that in your mentalism effects. It really convinces the laymen of how much free choice they have, even though they don't (lol). Hope this helps. C(B)

Yea, It Was Your Tip That Helped Me! And Yes I Can Do The Classic Force But I'm Not Really Comfortable with it. But I'll Work On It!

Technically, you did fine, although your card to mouth could look a bit cleaner (as far as placing the indifferent card in goes - try just doing a top change/second deal from the top of the deck and leaving that indifferent card outjogged). However, I didn't really like the way your little routine develops, or rather, doesn't develop. Mentalism, card to mouth, ACR, Ace Shake, and Pressure - this compilation of effects is way out of whack. First of all, mentalism is a VERY strong tool. Don't use it or display it casually, because you will come to treat it as such as lose the ability to connect - on a deep level, at least - with your audience when you really need to. Secondly, I would include CTM in your ACR; many people do this as it makes some sense with the right patter. You go from ACR to Ace Shake, and then to a cell phone in balloon effect. Eh, just doesn't make sense to me. I also didn't like the way you presented either of the effects in this video. However, I gave you a 3/5 for the mechanical aspect of the tricks.

It is good to see a good performance and reaction video every once and a while! Good presentation! Way to make something simple into something that seems big and complex! 5/5
