that is mostly my poor performing (again) and partially the camera angle.

Don't be hard on yourself. You are just starting out and, to be honest, are doing very well, and when you consider how new you are to magic, you are doing an excellent job. Keep it up and keep posting those videos!

Thank you Kolisar
I'll try to work on my handling of the cards a little, then try maybe another couple of videos.

Here's another trick of mine:

It is similar to a trick of Criss Angel's. A spectator can choose any card, sign it or whatever, place it in the deck, shuffle the deck themselves and lose the card completely. The cards are then spread all over the table, and the magician finds the spectator's card by simply hovering their hand over the cards. Criss finds the card by stabbing it with a knife, and this can be done the same way. My video isn't too good though, as I had neither a spectator nor knife to hand.
Thanks again for watching.

Edit: Thought I would mention that the handling required to let the spectator cut and shuffle the deck is slightly different to the way the cards are handled in the video.

And yet another trick:

Hole Move

Here is a hole moving trick. I was inspired by watching the demo of Jay Sankey's new hole moving trick. I know mine isn't as good as his, but I managed to fool a few friends with it

Nice but I would be careful of showing the exact positioning of the hole on the front of the card at the start - just show one side and then later on show it from the other side.

That's a good idea actually. Thanks for the suggestion. I never usually think about those kind of things when I record a video of my tricks, which is why posting them on here helps me so much
Thanks,
Harry.
