The coin through glass fooled me. But I'll admit, I'm no expert at coin magic, so that's fairly meaningless coming from me.

Some of the card flourishes still need a bit of work. The Hot Shot Cut seemed a bit sloppy- I would try to learn Paul Harris's simplifies handling. Your springing technique needs work- XB teaches a great way to get a lot of distance and smoothness.

Good luck.

I enjoyed the whole video and the coin in the glass is pretty neat and direct!

I was glad to see you perform the 2 card switch im curently training. I think they were well executed. But be carefull not showing your pinkyB so much, it sell the whole comcept of D/L, specialy if your not using the edge you lifted to turn the card over.

Some lovely handling of some tricky moves. Certainly a strong advert for your card and coin skills.

Coin in glass flashed.
Pass was just noticeable.
Coin change was too sudden in my opinion, but was good.
The card changing thingy, was good, but I personally find it flashing too.

But nice stuff going there. Keep it up.

mhh wasn't bad...

just work on ur flourish techniques especially on the card springing..

a tip: don't spring the cards with your 1st, second third finger and the pinky on top
but the thumb on the left corner, and 1st,2nd, and third on the opposite corner not on the short side of the deck.. U will see it's easier to spring, and the cards are going smoother...

so long

An enjoyable video. Well done. The only thing I disliked about it was the awful music.

Richie,

Having posted your phone number I presume this is promotional video intended to secure bookings.

If it is, I would get your grammar and spelling correct before you circulate it. Anywhere is correct, Any Where is not. I would also give an indication as to the area I was in and the distance you want to cover otherwise you'll get wasted calls for distances you aren't prepared to travel.

Its all relevant as to what you are trying to achieve, if you want to attract potential bookers then I would use much more subtle music which would appeal to more age ranges, I would use a better table and I would dress differently.

If your vid is just for self satisfaction then ignore the above. Your effects are all good enough as far as Joe Public is concerned.
