Hi this is the ambitious card routine with my own twist, hope you guys like it.

Unambitious Card

Yeah the trick its pretty good. Well done A few bit of advice though.

I think you need to speed up your patter, just get to the point you know? So instead of explaining the whole story of how the card must be shy and it's disguised it's self as the King of Diamonds etc. you should just say something like (when they react to the king of diamonds, "oh no you see it is your card but it's just shy", then do the change, "you see it was disguising it' self". That's all you need. I like to write my patter down and think about what needs to be in there. I think this is important, as the spectators may get bored if you do a lengthy intro to a trick.

I like the concept, but I think you would have to do it directly after an ambitious card routine (or part of one), so they get the idea that it is supposed to come to the top, without you having to explain. You could have the card "hiding" in your pocket, or under the card box or something too, just expanding on the patter and having fun with it.

Nice video though mate, good luck with it!

I agree with Mahoney that the potter needs to be quicker or shortened. There's too much talking and not enough going on with the cards in my opinion and I think that you would lose the attention of an audience.

The moves wewre executed well so that's a positive and it's just the presentation to work on a little more. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply guys, and yea for some reason I always drag out the speech too long hehe. I think I will try the writing down thing as I normally make up the words as I go and I have to think of words.

dont take this the wrong way, this is going to sound harsh but thats what feedback is all about.

I found it very boring, the trick idea was good, and the feel was there, just the patter draged it down..

Work on your patter, scripting, make it shorter, im not saying you have to make a script and follow it word for word, but it will help you avoid saying things like

" Uhh."
" Umm"
all the time, which you did several times.

Dont feel bad, I used to do that alot, and sometimes I still catch myself, its just getting out of the habbit.

With some pratice, better patter, this trick will be gold!

good luck, and hope that wasent to harsh
