you might want to reshoot that shapeshifter, although it was good you had a face up card on top of the deck.
other than that, nice work. was it really worth all that money?

Yeah i didnt think about that. I was just holding the deck for the sake of it and i was already in position and didnt need to get ready but silly me had the deck up the wrong way lol, i dont think its worth reshooting just for that thoe but good pick up there.

And yes its agreat Gaff deck, bit pricey but thats E for ya. Still worth it in the end.

to be honest i wouldnt bother with the gaff deck..you could replicate half the effects in this vid with sleights and save yourself a bundle

Okay some points

1. Whats wrong with a proper Ascanio spread?
2. When you the Queens faded, you kind of held the other half of the deck above for a little bit too long, kinda looks suspicous so just work on making that smoother or what about using the 'Paintbrush Change' (you can view Evmeister performing it but he called it the Donna Change)

Apart from that, I really enjoyed the video :D

Well Done

Edit: Mog, the tricks are all performed using sleights, so the deck isn't really 'gaffed', the cards just dont look like ordinary cards. Correct me if I am wrong peeps ;)

As stated by Kev before me, work on the Ascanio Spread. This is another bit about the queens fading...The original card you had was a queen of hearts...yet the fading queens was made for the queen of spades...

Thanks,
Dominick

Ok I appreciate the contructive critisism, but whats the point in just saying 'improve this' or 'improve that' give me pointers on HOW i can improve so i know what im doing wrong. And with the queen of hearts to queen of spades, i didnt even notice that until you pointed it out :) Im not going to bother re making the vid i just wanted to show off the red gaff deck :P ANd to one of the last posters, yes I put in 2 effects from army of 52.

You know, I think a better way to do the first trick would be to have the regular kings face up from the start and have a king die one at a time. It is a bit tedious to go through the motions twice and I don't really think many people would have the patients. Plus it would make for some neat patter.
