im not going to say things u did wrong but i bet if you went out and did the magic more without the camera you might focus on the spectators at the moment more? just some advice..
I think that's pretty good work for a kid going out to perform.
Cons:
-too much dead time
-shaky camera
-lack of variety of effects
Pros:
-not being a web cam kid with one of those card-mats stuttering on youtube
-the confidence to be out the performing
-layed-back attitude of having a good time
-editing (relatively- you gotta give it to 'em, they are just kids after all)
Thank you for all the comments but in all honesty that is how I act even if there is no camera around I like to have a good time, and no I will not take out the "lampooning" because that is how I want the video and I am sorry I did not make the video boring with no goofing around. Hahaha.
So thanks for the comments on the magic bot for the other stuff I am not going to change it and expect more of that in other videos most likely.

The video was extremely boring because your lampooning was about as much fun as a trip to the dentist. You're not funny, and the video suffered because the lampooning was a waste of time. You keep making videos with your 'comedy antics' and I'll just stop watching them. You're one hell of a magician, but you're just not funny, nor interesting. I hope you don't act that way all the time, for your sake. So yeah, just ignore everyone's feedback and just keep believing that people want to see you wander around acting like a 9 year old. That's how to progress!
Yeah the drive there, the comedy of you walking around cracking jokes was just lame imo. You're no where near as good company as you think you are, nor as funny. You wasted 3 minutes of my life watching a couple of 16 year olds lampooning before I even saw any magic, and it honestly wasn't even remotely funny. I'm not getting my three minutes back though so that's how it is. You'll be funnier when you're trying less hard to be funny.
Then the magic came along and it was good. Nice simple impactful tricks. You obviously love performing and it was technically excellent. You even performed a control at one stage with the guy burning your hands and he didn't suspect anything, so that's awesome.
All in all I liked the magic, you got some good reactions and you made a lot of people smile which is what its all about! Just next time, post less lampooning and more magic.
I would say one thing to you though. There's nothing worse than a guy that laughs the hardest at his own jokes. When you perform you often react almost as much as the spectator. All I can say is its really powerful when you step back and let them react, giving them nothing. If you smile at the end of a trick, they'll smile. You're giving them that out as to how they should react. If you baffle someone, leave them completely baffled.
But that's minor.
So yeah, great magic, but seriously edit out 3 minutes of that. You're not Daniel Garcia and people don't necessarily want to see you just screwing around in your car.
Sorry, but I didnt like it, too much of useless footage there,and there are a couple of things that you need to work up
*Acting: when you did the trick for the first couple and you were like " oh, that wasnt your card right?" I mean, it feeled so unnatural, as if you already know that the card is it in their hands, I mean, obiously you got a nice reaction there, but at the end, it takes away from the final memory
*funny?: Man you were trying way to hard to be funny doing random things, thankfully im not the first one that tells you so, so I expect more magic the next time and less belly showing.
* And finally, magic its about them, not about you.
decent footage after all but nothing beyond normal, keep up the good work.
Shiki don't know what your talking about.
FoldMaster, it was not neccessary to add that cooment unless your self-esteem needed to be raised, but thanks for the comment.
Not to be insulting, but you certainly don't look old enough to drive. Aside from that though, the magic was mostly good, and the topshot was great. As always, keep practicing
