I just thought a new trick today as I was waiting for my little brother at school (weird...). I think it's an original idea but ot original moves. I've just performed it once to my mum and she didn't see anything, so I hope you guys like it and give me feedback! It's my first "invention".

Enjoy!

Ok, nice I guess.
I spotted the moment where the card got from, u know.. Not gonna reveal here something.
But I didnt expect that it was gonna be upside down hehe.

Really nice.. btw, your fingers look uber weird when recording with fisheye.

Thanks. Wouldn't be too hard to spot especially as most people know the Ambitious Card routine.

And yes, my fingers DO look uber weird! lol

It looked OK to me.
Maybe a little wierd handling of the cards when you're making the move, you pause a little too long sometimes, but I did not expect the outcome!
Very nice performance indeed!

Sorry about the pausing. In real life, I obviously don't pause for so long. This trick would last less than a minute for me. But I just did it for the video.

The handling is too much of a problem but that's probably because I've practiced a bit more now so it's more fluid. I've done this trick to several people today and they couldn't see a thing and they certainly did not expect the outcome like you! lol

Hi!
A nice classic effect with a little dramatic effect at the end, it looks great.
however, if I could suggest one thing, I personnaly think that there is a little too much of shuffling in this effect. I say the simpler the better. Spectators might just focus on it and react a little bit less at the end
Thus, great card manipulation here!

This is like triumph right?
cool trick

Kinda like a tirumph effect but without the mixing of the cards face up and face down. And the card is trapped between 4 aces.

I wish it could be simpler Durto, but I have yet to find a better method for the moves I need. I'll try hard!

It's called "The Blink"... we all do it to some extent, though it seems to fade away a bit with time and practice.

The routine was cute and you should be applauded a bit for it. However, if you want some critical advice (imagine that, coming from me ) I'd cut down on all the fancy cutting and shuffling, it's distracting and only impresses other magicians. The public is going to assume you can handle a deck of cards if you do magic, so why work so hard at over-selling the idea?

I caught two situations in the handling so you may wish to invest in some serious mirror time. It's a great start towards something great however

Stevebo..i'll pm you about how to make it so simple you wouldnt believe!

Thanks. Again, as I said before, I'm still finding a way to make it simpler. The stuff in the beginning was nothing but some deck retentions. The stuff during the routine, I couldn't think of other ways to do it. I'll just wait for mog's PM!
