It's not bad, i like the editing.

The tricks were wasn't bad either, but you could see the stick turning when you were going up with it, just once.

Nice video!

Ok, nice video, but some things needed work.

Your paddle trick was good

Your Svengali tricks were okay, but you need to work some more on your handeling.

The rest were good, but most were gimmicked, although I have nothing against gimmicked tricks, just try and work more on your card handeling and card sleights

Well Done

thanks guys for the comments and tips and get practicing now

This video is going to get a lot of "critism" if you know what I mean. To start with congradualtions for makes such a smooth quality and nicly compiled video. Also you do seem to have the workings of a great magician (I could see it during your two card monte). Just a few things to think about - Don't prolong the videos to more than five minutes, especially when the background music dies on the last minute, try using more skill related tricks instead of the trick decks, and if possible try to organize a clean yet basic backdrop instead of your house. These are just a few ideas to consider for your next video.

I enjoyed your video! I'm guessing your a beginner so I think it's fine to be doing lots of gimmicked stuff to be honest. I think it's a good idea to build up your performance persona before you start doing harder tricks. I'm sure you will soon make the move away from gimmicks as you go along, but there's nothing really wrong with it especially if you're a beginner.

Nicely made video. I quite liked the fact that is was done around your house to be honest. It's a real location rather than just a wall.

'Mind blowing'

Although the tricks were gimmicked i thought you handled them well especially the invisible pen. Saw the paddle turn a bit once but other than that great.

If you haven'tt already got can i sugest you buy RRTCM.

Pitto

I agree 100% with Pitto. Buy Royal Road to Card Magic, oh, and before Kati gets here, a good DVD to buy is
