Hey, Andy -

Just a few suggestions.

One thing I noticed the first time, and again this time - is your position. In the future, I would try doing your effects from a standing position. You arms are cramped up against the table, which hinders your ability to show cards in a natural way. From a standing position, your movements will be more fluid.

Second - Definitely look into some resources on your DL. The method you use isn't convincing enough. You flash too often, and your replacements suffer as a result of the awkward handling. (Yes, I know I'm about to plug this guy AGAIN) - Greg Wilson's Double Take is a worthwile investment. It will open new doors to your handlings.

Third - this effect leaves you awfully dirty for any effects following it. If you'd like an idea for some variations of the handling, hit me up in a PM and I'll help you out. There's a few things that can create an IDENTICAL effect that looks more convincing.

Overall - a good effort. Keep up the good work.

Andyroo,

as Demitri said, you really need to work on your DL. And I hope you really read all our comments careful. If I was you, I would spend more time practicing stuff we have mentioned the last couple of days, and work hard on these, and spend less time producing videos. Please do not misunderstand me. I find your vids nice, but to increase your skill and be a even better magician, you should practice your card handling and looking at this video, your DL really needs a work. Now having said that, you shuold consider another video angle and maybe stand, when you do your magic. You seem stiff and are not able to gesture and move around much in your sitting situation.
