it might look a bit more convincing if you DL and place it face up on top of the deck and then flip it back over and place it back on the deck...as opposed to just holding the DL.. then take the card on top and put it on the bottom...maybe even place it in the middle somewhere...in my opinion you dont really need to show there is no duplicates

also try combining this with some other effects to make a small routine kind of like an ambitious card routine...it will look better if you have a few different things that you do with the jack..

you must be a beginner...dont get discouaraged you are doing good..keep it up :D

Hehe, i remember this trick from my first magic books when i was around 6-7 years :) Its a great move, and it actaly works on a lot of people, and the reaction can be very large somtimes. But you have just seen the wery start of a great world :) So, keep it up.

I agree with grum7n7, practise on your DL. Try to flip it over to the top of the deck, and use your little finger to keep the brake. I uses that way all the time, and it works fine :)

Show the bottom card first and then show it's arrived back on top.

Euan has got a poin there. You should show the bottom card first because thet't the best way to build up a magical finish - the card being on the top again. If you want to show the jack first, then you might as well spred the whole deck to show there are no duplicates (and there is no need for that because this is a trick which you would normally perform with a borrowed dec or a deck you've just finished playing cards with).

Work on your DL. It's nice to see a preparation for DL on a video because that's the only "real" move in the trick, so the effect depends upon the smoothness of your DL.

Keep up the good work and keep uploading videos.
