Nice stuff! You sound very nervous when you talk though.

You obviously enjoy your work and got a good reaction from your fellow students.

However here is a tip you can use for the rest of your life. It is a very subtle but powerful thing. Magicians in Canada and probably the US too make a tiny mistake in their work. I don't think the British do this because we have different language patterns.

Never say "I want you to do this" or "I want you to do that" Or "What I want you to do is"

It is one of my pet peeves. The magic is not about what YOU want-it is about what the spectators want. The expression does nothing to remove the subconcious resentment towards magicians that all laymen have. This "defensive resentment" may not show itself because everyone is having a good time and it manifests itself on a subconcious level. You will take away the sting to a tiny degree if you use different phraseology.

You will get even better reaction if you do this. And you will get the reaction for the rest of your life. I am glad I told you this while you are young.

Use it.

The first spectator you performed for was a good choice. Not just because of her hotness, but also she followed instructions to the letter. She was confirming everything you asked her to do and waited for you to reply, then going ahead and doing it.

Spectators like this get slayed, not only does your confidence get a massive boost, you know that she won't ruin the effect by turning over cards too quickly or whatever.

You should do some more magic for her getting her more involved, because your pretty damn sure she will follow instructions.
