Please take into account I'm only doing card magic for a week...

no offence, but if you have only been doing cards for a week, why is it on youtube?
I'm not reallya card person so I can't say much else

I agree.

You should be investing your time in practice and not making videos to post that could expose how the trick is done.

Sorry to sound harsh, but I'm an amateur that has been learning sleight of hand for 2 years daily. And up until now I have never felt confident enough to upload a video, or found it unreasonable to do so for lack of perfection and risk of exposure. Perhaps I'm a slow learner...

But please study the art thoroughly, focus on a few tricks, try to learn them by heart and do them naturally and casually with a flowing patter. Then, maybe then you could go and upload a video.

And as for the video, it makes want to go through a deck practicing the M.F. in less than 5 seconds screaming "look ma, I found a trick on yootoob!".

to echo what "just me" has stated why after a week are you putting on you tube

you are not getting slated it just seems like you need to be practicing more on sleights and moves

i didnt get the point of the trick am i missing somethin turning spread the cards and then reveal an ace turn deck over again spread cards show a card face down and remove then spread and show the ace again then end

Agree with the above.

I mean magic is not about learning a trick and wanting to perform it and look "cool" so to speak. I saw what you were trying to achieve, but a trick like that you really need to talk and create a story or something that gives viewers direction as to whats happening.

Card magic is not only about the trick, its about the WAY you perform the trick.....its an art, needs to be nice to watch, its your work and skill. no offense but when performing your spread of the cards for example....it does say "amateur"...things like that you should perfect and itll be second nature and you wont have to think about your card handling looking good because you have practiced it sooooo much its just second nature.

So like the above comments, get a list of maybe 2-3 tricks you wish to learn and work at them everyday....not just performing the sleights etc but also your presentation.....

Im sure in a few months time you will look back at this video and see exactly what we mean.

But keep at it bro, youll get there if u put in the hard work.
