I had to watch for 5 minutes before there was anything engaging. You have 30 seconds to capture an audiences attention. A song has to grab a person in the first few notes, magic is the same. at 6ish minutes and 48 seconds, that whole manuever where you reached for the hour glass to cover the card was awkward and just plain bad. There was no reason to reach across the table with the wrong hand except to hide the card (and the dirty work). You need to do a little more research and come up with a better method, there are plenty of them.
I love the whole idea. I have an hourglass myself, I can actually stop the sand at any time. It is a great prop that sadly I've never used but always have in the back of my mind. I've always wanted to do a time based act.
In the end my advise is to keep at it, I think you are on the right track.
Thank you so much for your help. I only noticed the things you mentioned after recording the whole presentation. I really have to improve the cover of some moves as you said and I still don't like the text very much. I'll try to make another video with the same routine or idea, but improved. Maybe I can make it in english, I don't know... I only uploaded the video the way it is because it was for an online championship(wich i'll lose
) in a brazilian forum of magic and it was the last day... It was almost like an improvisation.
Well thank you once more, I'll try to follow your advices. Can I have your msn?
