I liked it and the only bit of criticism I can give (very minor criticism mind you) is not to point at the picture with your left hand.

I've never been interested in any torn and restored trick so I don't really know how it was done, but when you pointed at the picture while keeping your other fingers clenched I knew that the torn pieces were palmed there. I may be wrong about that but that's what I think happened and so the effect is somewhat marred.

I really do feel like a prick when I nit pick over small issues like this. I only do it because you asked for feedback, and I hope that pointing out where even a small improvement can be made is more valuable than simply complimenting an effect.

In all honesty this is something that probably only a magician will pick up on, although some audience members can be sharper than we would hope.

Like I said a very minor point and this is still definitely ready to be shown to live audiences.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

Well done Luke!

Very well performed your magic has come so far in a very short time. It Just goes to show what dedication and hard work can do. :lol:

This is more than ready for the real world.

Keep it up, and keep the videos coming.

Valid point, appreciated. In a live performance there would be no pointing though, in the video it's simply to show that the signature is still there and the photo hasn't been switched :)

Don't feel like you're nit picking, thats what I was after, constructive criticism. It's the best way to learn because if a magician likes it, in my mind a layman will too!



Thanks Lee, it was seeing you do it a few months back that made me want to learn it!
