The first one with the coins was nice. Although quite a few off screens, but it was good. Smooth.

The second one with the cards wasn't very fluid. First change your left hand just moved too much. Keep it steady and flip. Second one is too quick. Try it slow. Third one, a bit more work on your lift and you flipped too early. Make sure it's out of view first, then do the magic.

The third one with the splitting of cards, you need to practice that cut a little more. But all else, it was fine. The only thing I don't like about it is how long it takes. I like the cuts where it's nice and quick. Usually better then the ones that take long.

Overall, good stuff. Keep on practicing.

Based on the fact that you made a video of them, I am going to assume you are into colour changes. There are a few flaws here and there, but it is generally pretty good. I recomend practicing a bit more, then learning the ego change. It is my favorite colour change and is very visual.

By the way, I loved your coin routine at the beginning. Don't become someone who is strictly a card magician. Learn as many different forms of magic as possible. I suggest buying Modern Coin Magic by J.B. Bobo. As for cards, you can't go wrong with Royal Road to Card Magic and Expert Card Technique. Experement with elastic band magic. Try learning some mentalism (this forum has a BRILIANT mentalist named Craig Browning as one of its members). My point is, don't limmit yourself to cards (I read in a youtube post that you were a card guy now). There is nothing wrong with specializing in cards, but make sure cards aren't the only thing you are capable of doing magic with.

Yeah, I like cards because Ive always got them with me, Ive just got my Nan in england to send me over some books about coin tricks, So I'll be learning some of those, I would really love to learn the Ego Change Ive been searching the internet for ages to find out how its done, but its a copy-righted trick is it?

Thanks for your comments
