oh, starting my comment right now before I even start watching the video because I know what you're gonna do and it is so not ok to be that unoriginal and abuse that force like that ...... ok.... starting video.....
Yeah. its like its the only thing you possibly could think of doing.
Its just stupid how often that's been done through a camera as a promotional thing by magicians, and I'll tell you why.
A: Its over exposure of that force. B: its easy to figure out when its not live.
You see when its live, people can't just rewind after that initial "whoa!" moment. On a youtube clip, they can do it immediately. and with that they only need to rewind twice to figure it out, and then their "whoa!" quickly turns into an "oh...".
Another thing is that if more than one person is watching at the same time they will both realize they had the same card and they start figuring it out, and distancing themselves from a magic experience even faster.
Done live, making sure only the one person out of the crowd experiences the force and that move is a powerful tool, but its receiving too much use through media, in my opinion, and you are not helping.
Also, I found your persona more than a little unconvincing and lack luster.

The way you demonstrated how you would flip through the cards was different than how you did it. Consistency.
I didn't understand the sense in doing a twirl type of change to turn the card over from back to front. Didn't make sense. Either wave it then just turn it over to show it changed or do a color change. But it looked like you were magically changing the back tot he front and changing the face of the card. Just seemed a bit convoluted.
Otherwise I liked the video. You have some charisma and the editing was well-done. Song fit really well too. Also love your logo at the end there. :)
The riffle force is kinda ok, but I didn't like the pruduction of 5 of clubs. You could play arround with color changes, and using the 5 of spades and saying "that is close" is not good thing, I guess. 3,5/5
