As there's not a great deal to see at the moment, it's hard to say anything positive at all but my initial reaction was don't you need permission to quote uncredited from the script of 'The Prestige' and to auto play the Beatles' Hey Jude etc? Either way, those three sound tracks playing automatically are very annoying so definitely need to go. I know Freeweb's are only possible due to advertising but, as was pointed out to another member about their similar site not too long ago, such adverts serioulsy detract from the purpose of your site.

If you have an email account via an ISP rather than someone such as Hotmail, then it may be worth checking your terms and conditions as you may also be paying for some free web space as part of your package.

I get something like 80Mb with mine which is not a lot in comparrison to many on the market today but It's provided me with more than I need for a few years now.

If you're using a web site to promote yourself then you really need to have a photo on the home page. :wink:

Yeah the music was kinda annoying but i like the turning japanese song at the time so yeah. gave me something to listen to while making the site. It still needs ALOT of work and alot more add's and touches to it. Thank you for your help. I kept the music player on my trick page for the time being before i can add music to my clips. ANYONE know how to add music to my clips. thanks

It might be be better if you gave visitors the option of turning the music on rather than it starting automatically - and that one about internet porn isn't in good taste for a magic site. As you say, a lot of work still to be done and if I'm being completely honest, I wouldn't even know where to start with such a project so well done anyway :wink: !

Thank you so much for the input its always useful to hear improvments that can be made. Like i said before im really happy to even start this site because ive always told myself i would get around to it but never got to it.
Im gonna change the player settings like you said, it also will be a good improvement
