Nicely done. Indeed Jumping Gemini is a great effect, blowed me away when I first saw it (at that time I didnt know about D/L's, T/L's,elmsleys or so). Good job. I think the rythm in this trick is very important to get the maximum reaction out of it, and you got it down quite good. Work a bit on your elmsley though, try get it a bit smoother.
I remember when I saw this trick on the net, I don't know who performed it but he used that very same line before showing the kings -"...but that's impossible!, cause over here is a king..." was that the performance of that Raphaeli guy?
And what comes to that Close Up Pad, GET ONE! It will help your practicing alot, table moves will be easier, you don't have to struggle with "secondary" problems like cleaning up the surface before you practice and stuff like that. And best of all, your cards will last longer as they don't pick up as much dirt from the pad (if you keep it clean, that is) as from a ordinary table(sofa in your case :D ) surface.

I think every online magic shop sells them. They are not hard to find. You also might wanna check your local magic shop...

Mikey.666...

PM me I have a suggestion for you. I made/use a slight modified approach to the last revealing sequence. I will tell you about it and you can try it and see what you think.
