<3 all ^^

It's far better to post some details about yourself in the Introductions Section before asking members to watch and rate your videos - at the moment we know nothing on which to base any assessments.

I have a major problem with it all.

It's all been done before, but better.

It's the exact same presentational style that every street magician uses.

You should try to be unique and strive to be something fresh in the magic world.

Hmmm... I'm compelled to be honest here. As Lenoir has already said, your presentation is exactly the same as any other generic "street" performance except not as good, but even more importantly, your level of handling is fairly average. Your DLs, and your DL "get-readies" are poor. Your thumb-breaks are wider than the Grand Canyon. Your palming off is rushed (it was missed by the spectators because you were lucky) and your habit of having the selection handed back to you rather than placed back into the deck by the spectator themselves might seem like a minor thing, but it's the difference between people going "hah, cool trick" and people being blown away.

I noticed even when you made the deck cut itself while on the ground and out of your hands the reaction was still only "yep, that's my card." This is presentation.

Also, how much did it cost to get a black tiger deck shipped to Saudi Arabia?!! A bloody fortune I bet!

Anyway, salam - and get practicing.

I agree with what's written above, but also wanted to highlight one personal gripe I had about it.

Stand still.

Really, I mean it.


Watch your video back. At the start of every trick you're shifting your weight from foot to foot, looking at your hands, and doing that triple cut thing that young magicians always seem to do as if to show that they know how to handle cards.

You just look incredibly nervous. In fairness, perhaps you were, but I'm imagining it's more likely that you just didn't pay much attention to what your body was doing. If you look confident, your magic will come across better. Watch footage of any half decent magician performing for a crowd, they'll be stood still, chin up, engaging everybody at eye level.

Trust me, it really does make a difference.

Hey. Well done for even putting yourself on show to other magicians. I think a lot of people forget that they started somewhere as well. Yes a couple of things may need work and they have been pointed out. It's not all negative though. stick in there.
