Nice effect.

Your handling of the folding procedure can use a bit more practice. In some areas you seem to fumble a bit (I'm assuming it's due to the size of the piece of paper?). Try to get this as smooth as possible.

There are a few minor detractors to the overall effect, but it's still a nice piece of magic. Nice job.

Hah. I have seen alot of your videos on you tube and I always wondered why you used so much material by this Francis McAllister guy I had never heard of. Now I got it!

I would say you are on a good path with that trick. I would have rather seen it performed in a live situation, but I agree with the above comment that you need to work on your handling and get it completely smooth. Also, I think your patter could use a little work too.

Keep it up.

Nice, and I agree that the switch needs a little work—the smaller billet suggestion would be a good start.

Second, as a minor improvement, I think that the folding of the paper and immediate unfolding to show it is now blank seems to have no purpose. Perhaps introduce a second envelope, which you put the switched, folded billet into, and hand this to the spectator as it being 'their' prediction.

Then, for the final reveal, you have two stronger kickers—the spectator is invited to open their prediction, revealing a blank, whilst you open the '?' prediction which has been in view the whole time.

Visually, I think that would provide a much stronger presentation.

However, a very nice little effect.

Nice but get more loose,relax and dont pay atention to every move u do,realy,the spectators arent blind,and try other misderection than talking when doin the fishi stuff,but i believe this is going to be a good trick ( advice: dont use a TT,make the vanish of the word more magical,maybe fold the paper so they can see the word and do a french drop (Jay sankey-Holy Moly) nice job
