Thank you very much

Very enjoyable, but not exactly flawless (many of us are not perfect, don't worry). I really saw how you have progressed and this was a nice showcasing of your knowledge of sleights. Some of the routines were a bit complicated, but I adored the fact that you put such simple (NOT easy to do) sleights into such a massive compilation of routines. I can see that you put much thought and time into the structuring and plot of the routines. P.S. I love your room, it looks soo much like a professional set! Reminds me of magic tutorial sets...do you call this your Magic HQ? =) Keep up the good work! I'll be waiting for your next video with great expectations. ::dAvid

Thanks for so much interest and time with your comment. Ha, my room does not look anything like that, that is after an one and a half hours of setting up backdrops and lights.

you would like two of my sandwich routines. We think very similarly.

As to do with anyone's comments. I am actually writing everything anyone is writing about it and ensure to improve on my non-verbals as well as angles and improving the all around product. Keep the comments coming! -Michael Stern

nice DPS and sandwich effect. where was that filmed?

Michael Stern16 years ago

it was filmed in my room, thats not to say the least that i do not have enough equipment to ensure it looks as if it were on set at a studio.

Lol looked like you were playing with your ding dong with the hand rubbing. :) Me and my teenage mind...

Nice video, nice ideas, i adore you ambitious card. Thanks,

Your non-verbals were annoying (swaying head, rubbing hands etc.). Some of the ideas you had, be it effects or sleights have great potential, but I think they need some revision and mastery. In your ambitious riser routine, the card rises, but then vanishes? Why not have it sink? Keep up the good work, Josh

That kicked ass. Nice vid.

It was good, you're a very smart guy when it comes to this stuff. When you came to your sandwich routine you flashed like a chick on mardi gras. I really like your ideas on the DPS though, very good ideas. That's probably my favourite move I do with cards. Anyway good job Mr.stern

Your breaks are very large at times and although it may be the angle, it's just a small word of advice. i really like the ideas though, keep it up! Oh and I just thought I would say - I love the reverse sandwich idea, very nice :)

Awesome video, nice setting, well produced all around. All the moves I saw were perfected, although some shots may have been at a slightly bad angle... Please don't do the same move over and over again though, as the DPS did get boring around the 5th time seeing it... :p (I love the move too, so I can understand why you filmed it so many times!) Keep up the good work. Expecting more greatness in the future. With respect, -Sanj
