I know many more tricks but i will put em on my next videos

EDIT: Dont get me wrong on the title i mean the video created by me

King/Ace Transposition
Technically speaking there was nothing amiss, however the action of showing the card, then placing it face-down on the deck, then thumbing it off is unmotivated and illogical. Why do you do it? Why don't you just place it straight down onto the table? The natural conclusion is that it must have something to do with the workings.

So for this one I'd say go with a more classic DL.

Matrix
Nicely done!

Infusion
The magic gets lost in the blur. And your hands go out of shot. So I'd say it'd be best to use a better camera and a slightly wider shot for this one.

Other than that, pretty cool. In terms of the order of the effects on the video, I'd say that it would have had a nicer flow if the card effect punctuated the two coin ones, with Infusion being the first coin effect.

Good song too .

ok thanks

the video was really good in my opinion

i agree that putting the card back onto the deck and thumbing it off is illogical... but i dont think it affects the trick in anyway (it is a really great trick)

the matrix was spectacular

keep it up

How would you do the first trick without putting the card back down on the Deck?

sorry bout that... i forgot to say... that although putting the card back on the deck looks illogical... it will have a purpose

hope that clears it up lol

Well there are several ways if you're quite nifty with Tenkais and the like.

To use tenkai for this effect would be very strange and I am not sure what you have in mind. I think this discussion is a bit academic. The effect shown has an enormous misdirection build in since each card put forward is placed in the hand of a spectator. This usually misdirect not only that spectator but every one. There is no problem that the card is "kissing" the deck in a split second while the TC is excecuted, however it has to be done so it naturally fint the patter and the interaction with the spectators.

It supposed to be a "kiss" but in the performance it is a "snog" that would draw everyones attention.

To see an effect being performed without patter and participating spectators is a bit meaningless.

PS. I just watched the clip again and I now realise that the very design of the effect is wrong! The single card you want to change is moved back towards in pack (big movement) and the spectators gaze are more or less derected directly at the top of the pack. Who invented this handeling? To me it looks like the effect is purely designed....

What I mean is such a move is an alternative option, and one I have used on occasion (although not often, I prefer the DL).

How might one learn this technique that would better that trick?

Looks similar to the 2card monte
