hat's alot better :D The only negative is when the coin goes through the glass, you take the other card and ditch it off camera, now i could be thinking that maybe you did something else with something else..

OK, it was good. Some things though:
  • You don't need to show the cards that much. Really. Once front and back each is more than enough, and I would hesitate about doing even that. If you show the cards that much it screams at the spectator that you are hiding something.
  • Don't take so long with the reveal. You spent way too long just fiddling under cover of the card - ideally it shouldn't even stop moving, just one smooth motion: cover and uncover. Of course, I don't know how you did it but hey!

Its much better than the first version......
A said over shown cards..thats something i do to...
Why do you still get rid of the card off camera....would be better to flip on table....
I`m sure your method is different to mine....by viewing it.

And the cover up is a bit long.....this is something i am trying to get shorter in my version...

It was nice.
I enjoyed watching it... but I came up with a method for this one as well.

Your hands don't look natural when showing the cards at the beginning, as if you're hiding something.
When you put the hand under the table, you cover, do something fiddly with your fingers (which should have been covered) and then proceed to melt the coin.
After that, you fiddle with the top card for a bit too long and then ditch it straight away :(



Sorry if that seems harsh!

You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

I know but that doesn't effect the method
after doing it 10 times I didn't want to repeat it again
I was to tired

LOL @ Mandrake.

Anyways, when you were showing the cards at the start, why do you need to pass them across like that? That looks suspicious. But, nice covering it up when you showed both hands put forth to show the back, although it still isn't 100% convincing.

Your left hand was suspicious, the movements under the table. Like katrielalex said, just a smooth cover and uncover. Will take some practice though.

When you put the top card away, why out of the camera? Lucky this is on camera and not live.

Otherwise, everything was good. Just try and not make it too suspicious of what you're doing.

And too bad about the comment that someone put on your video. Might want to delete the video soon before everyone too many people read it...
