Well pulled off, I do it a slightly different way, so it confused me the first time, the switches need a wee bit of polishing but overall it is nice!

Maybe try add a magicmystro personal idea into it, some kind of production or something youve come up with!

Nice on though!

Not bad, but you need to rethink the way you handle the final phase. Go back and look at your video. There is a very noticeable problem with the final phase.

You say - First spongeball and place it. You then pick up the second, say Second spongeball - and open your other hand, which is quite visibly empty. If you're fast, it may fly by - but there are many methods out there which you will find are superior to the handling you are using.

Aside from that, you did a good job. Just focus on that last phase some more. It's a crucial point in the routine. Spectators (even kids) WILL be burning your hands at that point, you need to be perfect at this point.

So I'm not exposing, I'm going to send you a pm about a variation you could try.
