Please dont give me a bad rating I'm very new to Magic.

Nice presentation. I would just have a small objection about your Elmsley. Try to practice it to look more natural (best way is to make a "normal" count, than the Elmsley, normal, Elmsley, normal, Elsmley, etc.etc. until it looks the same). But I may be a little "fault-finder" ... keep up the good work.

i really enjoyed that, that was better than i was expecting a first time posters youtube video to be well. kudos!
as nice an effect as it is, and it really is, I'm finding one big problem with it, in showing 8 cards at the beggining then having more when you finish, perhaps lose one of those queens somewhere in the trick

As said above, work on the naturalness of your Elmsley. Personally I prefer an in hands version rather than the finger tips - should be natural and fluid - and look like you are just counting the cards. I used to practise by just doing the EC whilst watching tv - don't even look at your hands, just do it over and over again - like anything practise makes perfect.

Personally, the pile of 3 jokers and 1 queen - you might want to consider a Flushtration count to show as all queens before doing a 'magical move' and turning them to jokers.

Otherwise - looks good - this is a killer trick - one of my favourites.

And stick with the EC - there are so many other good tricks you can do with this sleight - IMHO one of the best in Card Magic.
