Not bad at all. I especially liked the coin transfer trick, just because of its smoothness (and the fact it has left me wondering how its done :x ) As for the card trciks they were all quite convincing aswell but a tiny bit more practice in moving the cards about more smoothly and you'll have the icing on the cake :D

not bad at all.

vanishing key-performed quite nicely, just looked a bit stiff.

appearing note-this is a cool effect. but you need to relax more, and there is to much movement of the cards. just show that there is nothing on the back and front of both cards, and smoothly produce the note.

kings-that could be a great trick with the right patter or a funny story line.

jumping coin-this is a great effect. i find it hard to do with out a table, i need to practice it more. again could be better with patter.

magic-i dont have much to say for this. except a few false shuffles would have made it more convincing.

all in all not bad for your first videos. a couple of tips-angle the camera to yourself not you to it.use patter :D it makes a world of difference and practice the handling of the cards more (especially your d.l) you look to stiff.
very good :)

The vanishing paper and jumping coin were probably the best performed. You obviously know what you are doing as far as technique, now you just need to refine the methods and make it look considerably more natural. Keep practicing them until they are so smooth and natural you don't even consciously register what trick you are doing when you perform. Of course that is just a metaphor.

I love the coin transfer and think the only thing to say against the others is that they might look a bit stiff. You can clearly do them well and that should come out in the confidence you should have in your performance.
