That was the CLEANEST tnr paper I have EVER seen. Very nice. The only thing is the way interact with your audience. I know its nerve racking, since it was your first time on stage, and in front of a room of highschool students at that. That takes balls. So for that, props. And your dialouge was funny. But as stated in a previous comment, there was alittle too much "yes, yes, yes" sets, and quite frankly, just alittle too much talking. This was most likely due to the nervousness, the best way to counter that is to let the magic speak for itself. Take "Life" by Danny Garcia for example. When thats performed, you dont have to speak more than once. Just let the magic be percieved in the audiences mind, rather than you tell them what has happened. Not everyone in the audience will react to the trick in the same way. Which is really good. But by telling them all the amazing parts may actually lessen the inatial reaction they would have had. But besides that, that performance was kick ass. Great job. P.S. You got great reactions. No joke. But please tell the camerman not to laugh hystircally in the camera.

Alright thanks for the advice, it was my first stage show but I'm doing one again soon so I'll keep those thoughts in mind.

Only two things I would say you would need to work on. You have to work on talking to the audience and the spectators at the same time, it was to often as if you were talking just to the people up on the stage and not the entire place. It's okay to speak to the audience and the spectator switching glances at the same time, so it looks like you are focused on both parts of the audience. You had to many "yes" sets, where you recap on what just transpired. You only want to do these on maybe two effects total in a set routine. I believe the effect was crossroads, is a good yes set as it builds it up and really adds to the effect. To often this was done.
