the only thing on the handling i would say would be to neaten up that overhand shuffle. other than that i could suggest you learn a ShapeShifter change for that trick perhaps. and maybe a thumb fan (or a lepaul spread if you're feeling brave) to kick it off with.
go forth and learn! good work!

That was good, but on your first shuffle make it much more sloppy, as I could clearly see the in-jogged card.

ah, the alternative to a much practised and neat overhand shuffle, the consistantly sloppy shuffle!

Yeah i need more practice. Thanks for the tips and comments you guys =)

If you are going to in-jog you need a 'messy' shuffle or it sticks out (obviously ) like a saw thumb.

I like the last change but I don't know where you learned it from if you taught yourself it needs a lot more practice if not, you have been taught badly, get 45 by Jay Sanky or as Larry said learn the shapeshifter change - it just looked a bit unnatural.

Good first attempt though

cool trick ,good job.

its okay to be sloppy with the card when in jogging, but, it was merly the angle you had the cam so you could see almost a top view, and just do it a bit more clean, Like you are in control of those cards

To be honest, please:

- work on your smoothness
- work on your card handling in general
- work on your shuffling (your outjog is way to visible)
- work work work

Don't forget that putting work like this online, which is kind of "un-finished", reveals basic secrets in magic. Please continue practicing. You should also consider if the last change, should be the "main move/change" of your trick. I consider that move a "remedy" move.

I am not being harsh, but I am just trying to stress the importance of working hard on your card handling, and that your current level reveals too much. Work on your smoothness and you will eventually do well.

when you took the top card off the deck it looked like you were struggling a bit with a DL not sure if there was one in there but i would try to smooth it out a bit

good trick though
