ps. im pushing WMM to its limits...

The move is very nice. But it looks very clunky and awkward when you attempt to spin the card on your finger, fluff it, and then try to mask that by pointlessly turning it over and over clumsily in your fingers.

Less is more.

yeh, originally i actually span it well, and did a better job, but on that video, the main 'move' actually flashed the tiniest of amounts (would take more than 1 view to notice) but i was such a perfectionist, i wanted a decent take on the C/S, and on this video, i think i did a pretty good job..

EDIT// after a re-watch, ive decided to take of slow mo on that last bit, as it makes it look a lot better without..

Personally, the card spin didn't even stall me—because I thought the moves were all very well executed and it looked great.

Nice job!

thanks a lot siege, it means a lot coming from you

It was nice. Move was smooth, very very fast though. Card spin as Queenie says was a bit clunky, but otherwise I liked it.
Take a look at Jordan Lapping's card spin, its in one of his videos( ) he spins it perfectly smooth for what seems like forever, and with the card design, it really does look hypnotising!

Good job! The CS was well done, but I presume you need a bit more practice since you said you flashed on an earlier take. The Ego Change was a bit off though. Try to keep the deck more square when doing the change.

Can't wait for the DVD!

thanks everyone, i know the ego was a little rushed, the angles on this vid arent the best, and the little spin annoyed me but i cba filming again, i cant wait for the DVD, so i can refine the move and improve the sound etc, but in person i havent flashed once! cheers everyone,
