Wow impressive. :shock:

Personaly, I loved the first move when you appeared the card using the fan.

My ACR usually consists of picking up doubles, glides and backslips, so that was a breat of fresh air.

Loved it :P

I agree with Katriel, you seemed very nervous and when you did a move, you sped up quite a bit compared to the rest of your handling.

This is just my opinion, but there is no need to say 'So I'm going to fan the cards', and 'Watch as I rub this card'. They can see you rubbing it, and they can see you fanning it, so there is no need to explain every little detail.

Your ideas were good, just work on the 'smoothness' of the sleights ;)

Well Done

I thought this was really good even if there were 1 or 2 small mistakes. Hell, have you seen my videos!? :lol:

Can someone point me to a site that explains the "tilt" ? It's something I've not come across yet and would like to learn more.

Again - impressive! :D

Yeah, I noticed that when I make online videos I have a tendency to add in totally unnecessary commentary, during performances things go a bit more smoothly.

I don't know, I guess I feel more natural around people but then again, I don't walk up to random folks on the street and perform for them.

:twisted: Unlikely you'll get any website here on TM, seeing as this forum does not tolerate exposure :twisted: And anyway, most sites won't actually carry these moves anyway.

I think I'm going to start a Buy Books campaign for magic and mentalists.

To quote a quote from Wonder Wizards: "They lose much who want things for so little".

Invariably the answer will be 'yes'. Such things are on many DVDs, in books etc. - I'm sure the folks at TM will be able to point you in the right direction but they won't be able to tell you how to do it.

Yea it was pretty good but you definately need to work on your transition between the moves and loosen up a bit.

Perhaps it came across a bit jumpy because I just thought of some visual things I'd do for just one person and then ad-libbed it while performing for the camera.

But yes, in general, I need to work on my showmanship. I'm not sure if I should shell out money for some sort of book or if it's something I'll learn through practice (which I do not get that much of other than with friends).
