Personally I dont think there was much magic there. You a have a standard d'lites mess around followed by some card manipulation which couldn't really be seen that well.
not really sure whether the context was you were meant to be asleep and sleep-magicking or not?

A strange thing happend when i was watching it. When you woke up I fell asleep how spooky is that.

You throw some lights about and then flick some cards and call that magic.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

lol, seen the D'lites before, but the "Magic at Midnight" concept made it interesting. Good job!

I don't think lacklustre would be out of place considering he's performing in such conditions lol!

I thought the d'lites bit was half decent, although as Mike said, lacklustre. If you just seem a bit more surprised, it might have made it seem a bit impromptu.

I thought the card bits took away from the whole impromptu feel of the video, plus I couldn't actually see what you were doing with the cards.

I like the idea behind your presentation and thought it was quite original. The little routine with the D'Lites was OK but I think it would have benefited from a slightly longer duration and, as someone else mentioned, it would have been a nice touch if you acted a little more surprised. The card manipulation seemed out of place and superfluous. (In my opinion, your snap change was over and done with too quickly to have any impact, especially in those low light levels). I like the music.

Nice D'lites

So, you just left a camera running while you practised some magic. Is that right?

No beginning, middle or end? No emotional hook? Motivation of any sort?

You are clearly skilled at something, but unfortunately performing magic isn't the same as practising magic.
