My camera makes my voice sound weird, and its at such a tone that it really annoys the **** out of me. Anyways Im gonna keep this up foryou to view and if anything is done wrong ANYTHING AT ALL, please give me pointers.

"EDIT" I hate the fact that there are exposure films all over youtube, and it sucks for me as a performer to have links of exposure videos right on my videos page. "EDIT"

Nicely done.

Firstly there's no need to be self concious of your voice. It sounded ok to me.

With the effect, i thought it was done pretty well. Theres always room for improvement however. Your general handling of the cards seems quite stiff, you need to loosen up, but i think that will just come with repeated practise and performance.

Hey ricky,

Nice routine, although I have to agree with majortom, your handling is a bit stiff.
You've got a good point about the tutorial as well,what a bummer!
The thing with your voice I think everyone goes through, I can't stand the sound of my own voice, but it's the way I talk and I can't do anything about it. lol
Keep practicing and thanks for popping my comment cherry! lol

If you don't want to have the expo vids on your trick call it something completly different and unique 'dexterity cards' or 'the houdini fooler' or something.

I like the latter - considering the Ambitious card is actually the routine that fooled Houdini 7 times . Way to go Mr Dai Vernon

Actually, it was one Ambitious card phase in particular that fooled Houdini, a very clever use of a gaff card .

wow thanks for the views, yeah i do need to soften up with cards i usaully get stiff because i want to execute the move PERFECTLY yet im still practicing.

EDIT-Called it houdini fooler EDIT

The handling was fine, no worries there. The problem I have is with the trick itself, whenever I've seen it (and this includes as a layman) it's bored me to tears. After a couple of phases I want it to stop and go away.

Sorry to sound negative, you did fine, but I think to make this entertaining it needs more then just repetitive "and then another one turns over" patter. Some sort of strong motivation for the goings on would double the impact of the effect in my humble opinion.

ty for your opinion, the only part i feel boring is the turn over when the 3 goes face down then face up, but personally the ending of the color change hits the veiwers hard.
