1st was good - you could see "something" was happening to the top of the deck...but what, i couldnt tell you...very good though...
2nd - made your right hand a bit too claw-like...which is common for the move involved
3rd - nice, very richard turner...
4th and 5th - the mavericks were ok...i'd imagine they'd be nice changes inbetween other work...
6th - very nice, again could kinda see something...
the passes - the first was ok, the second flashed too much..much preferred the third one...
the biddle pass once i'd imagine is very angle-sensitive...
vertical centre steal - i'd need to see it within the context of a routine to comment properly i think
no back force - flashed!
the palm and production - i'd have to see it within the context of an effect to see how the body movement fitted in...i liked the lennartesque appearance of the card
in fact, i'd like to see all these moves within the context of proper effects, as watching them on their own, you'll always spot something...and its obvious you're talented with the old pasteboards...i think thats the key to a good sleight, to see how it works through a presentation, only then is it good/useful...
