I think TM has a problem parsing ampersands in URLs...

Try this instead:

The video was quite good. I don't know a lot about passes but they were quick and not clumsy. There was too much upward motion on the second one - you want to stop people looking at the deck not force them to!

In my opinion there was too much movement on the first pass. A spectator may not have seen what you did but they sure would know you did something. The second seemed a lot better.

The snap change was ok, maybe a touch slow. (giving the impression of the card turning over). Looks good on video have you practiced the angles for real life though?

Nice video, except the frame rate and quality ruins it. No offense. :roll:

As for the effects.... they were done well enough. The video quality and shaky camera detract from the effect, but the moves were good.

But there are so many problems with the video itself. You had some trouble with your spelling and grammar. While this is only for people to look at and enjoy, the ENTIRE presentation is something you must remember. Little things make a big difference - and the errors in here made me enjoy the video less.

First and foremost -don't put text on the screen saying "Watch K of Space".

First - it's spades
Second - that was the Queen

Also, it's New York - not New Yoke. This is a minor thing, but since that's my hometown, I can't let it slide. :wink:

Good job, though.

Godbowen,

On the first pass there is way too much movement. You need to get this down to a gentle rock. Remember the point is to perform the pass as if it were a natural movement. I recorded my current classic pass so you can have a look at it. I havent done any other covers other than the rock so that you can get a good look at it (I usually do jiggle pass).

I am in no way suggesting that this is a perfect pass, but it should show you what your trying to aim for, and with the additional covers it will start to look more natural. Try to slow it down, and watch your angles, especially the verticals.

EDIT: Just watched it again, and its quite funny. You can almost smell the concentration as I try and stop myself from doing a spread and then a jiggle. :shock:
