Rob, your presentation is excellent! Although the effect is not that technically demanding, your video is far more entertaining than others I've seen where presentation is overlooked in favour of advanced sleight of hand. Well done!

This tends to be a pattern amongst amatuer sleight of hand-ists. It's cycle I'm trying to break free of. It's good to look cool and flashy but if you can't perform a trick with some meaning and purpose behind it for your audience, they'll think you're some kind of idiot who bought one magic book and has too much time on his hands, rather than someone who with a genuine skill to perform magic who has clearly put alot of time and effort into their performances.
