If, for once, you will acknowledge my advice, I shall give it to you. In fact, I shall anyway

It seems to me that you've learnt a trick, or several, and once you understand the mechanics, have video'd them. Not only do you have to have the mechanical side of the performance perfect, but also the presentation and handling. You handled the cards clunkily and without certainty. Make your moves smoove and gracious, both will come by continuous practise of the effects!

For the second time, buy a book like Strong Magic by Ortiz or The Performance Of Close Up Magic by Eugene Burger and learn how to properly present your effects.

Keep up the Magic eitherway!

thanks for the advice, I will practice my presentation alot more before I upload another video, Matt

It looked good to me! Maybe it needs to be a bit more fluid if ya know what I mean? You don't look very sure of youtself or the cards! Gotta have confidence and be smooothhh! But it's presentable for friends and stuff! I had to mute it cause the music was annoying others in the room so I didn't hear the talk, sorry!

You could impress people with that! Get the smoothness and confidence then you'll amaze people as well!!

Make the mirror your best friend till your confident you can do it perfectly on demand, you'll be far more confident and when you've got good reactions it'll help even more!! Hope this kinda helped!

I like MagicMatt. I wanna take him under my wing

Tell you what, Matt; Wild Card gives great advice. Why not perfect the version of the sandwich effect I PMed you with and then upload that in a week or so. And in the File Sharing forum, too. That's where vids go, y'all.

Get in there matty boy!

I should be amazed but Im not the effect is nice but, presentation skills are lacking. You have just performed a miracle, so act like it.
Vanishes and magical revelations are not an everyday occurence, for most people anyway, your enthusiasm and wonder should come out in your performance as well- sell the effect to your specs!

On a side note the book Expert card technique by Hugard and Braue has a couple of chapters on presentation, buy the book and read them. Take their advice because its fantastic, then have a shot at your trick once more.
