you need to work on handling the cards smoother. It doesn't look natural at the moment adn you're giving things away, keep working on it and you'll get there.

It does not look natural at all. I guess you figured it out wrong.
Too much cover when the change happens. It should be a visual change, yours is not.

Aside from looking totally unnatural, the filming almost caused me to fall into an epileptic seizure.

I'd advise that if you WANT to perform the Bertram, you find a proper learning resource and do it properly, as it seems your handling skills are pretty sufficient and you're dextrous enough... you just need to learn the method!

As such, frankly, I'd take the words 'Betram' off your video, as this could be a bit misleading!

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.
