Hey just a mix of some card tricks i did,

Don't cover the cards for too long on that coin change and the erdnase, it makes it look like you are doing something dodgey

You flashed on the Erdnase Change.

Erdnase Change: Flash, as stevebo already said. I think you know where/when

Last Trick (don't want to say the name, it spoils too much) A bit too slow for my taste, but it was good

I loved the 3rd trick (the card change). In fact I was looking for a new type of card change lately and I might try it, nice work!
The last trick can be really great as a part of an effect, I love it.
You juste thaught me some freshness, thanks sir!
(Oh yes, very well performe to!)
P.S: wich on of these is the Erdnase Change, I keep reading about it in the forum but I actually don't know what it is!

Thanks Durto, glad someone enjoyed it And to the others, most of the moves appear slow as it was done with a new state of the art technology called slow motion. Most of them clips werent in realtime, I thought all you experts may have noticed that And i did realise i made a few flashes but i guess im not a perfectionist like all you pro's here yet, i guess after i spend years, maybe a decade on card handling i will be in the same class, i can only hope! But for someone who is only learning and handled cards for a short time im pretty happy with how that vid turned out.

I got from your previous post that you're not too impressed with the responses you got. I am by no means trying to insult your performance arkos. Although you used slow-mo in your videos, maybe it wasn't necessary. For a magic video, I really don't think it's necessary. Maybe for a flourish video, it might be used but not for magic.

By posting up a video, I would've thought you'd be expecting some critisism. Critisism can help you if you think about it. It makes you understand your mistakes and you can learn from it! The erdnase change, for example, you can improve on working on covering up, and maybe next time, before you post up the video, just double check for flashes.

I've learnt from my mistakes of not practicing enough and posting up videos here on TM. Ok, so I get critisism... I now decided to work on a trick or flourish until I think it's flowing before I post it. Then I can expect less critisism from members.

I hope this clears a few things up and that we as members/magicians are only trying to help you.

No im happy with critism that will help me, but as i said i already knew about the flashes i made, if it was in reatime (not slow motion) the flash would not have been noticed, and i agree slow motion is probably not the best idea for some card tricks, i was trying to make the clip go for a bit longer so probably not a good idea, after i did all the video editing i did notice the flashes, and one you guys forgot to pull me up on was the color change i did, the 2nd part to the vid, (forget the name for it) when i show the back of the card you can see a slight gap in between cards which gives it a way kinda, so i pulled back to far.

So i did notice all these mistakes, and i wasnt being sarcastic regarding being a newbie, and hoping to become better after years or practise, stevebo how long have you been doing card magic for?

Around a year or two now. Mainly been doing card flourishes/manipulation for around 9 months now.

I did notice this . however i think it detracts from the efect of a colour change. As it does give the impression you took your time to do a "move"

Yeah i agree with you key master. I just love my slow motions thoe

Im gonna lay off them next time hehe. I have shown the clip to alot of non magicians and they cant work none of it out, so i guess thats one thing *keeps practising*
