Great execution, but I would still make one or two comments:
1: Spread the cards wider when you take your first card out of the bunch. It gives the impression that you struggle to take it and might get the crowd suspicious, it must look natural
2: You look way to cautionous when you handle the two pack of two cards. Look at yourself when you normally handle two cards and then try to reproduce it!
3: Thus, I like the way you "drop" your invisbly (spl!?) palmed card onto the table. I have the bad habit your almost completely cover the cards but you maneuver seem very smooth!
Keep it up!

great gork, where can I get this Trick?

Yep, your first "invisible card dropping" is the best one I've ever seen, great job

That really is great papel Can i ask what music that is?

Very tight hurried and illogical handling. Plus, no credits...

your first card replacement was fantastic!
although your (doesn't want to give it away) card switch bit was a touch on the sloppy side, it can be done so much easier by squaring up the blacks and showing them again afterwards.
you should've spread out 3 for our final palming.

and it makes the last card so much nicer to not have to put it back on top of the deck and "palm" it off there. a good card vanish will suffice, and just adds an extra touch of class to it (think about it )

Can:t see anything. IE or Mozilla. Dunno why everyone loves youtube but if you get it on anywhere else let us know.

When you were holding two cards in each hand, on your right hand (hand on left side of screen in other words), you flashed (don't know if 'flash' is the proper terminology but my teachers use this so I guess I just sort of followed with it).

There was a slight flash on the first card too.

But otherwise, everything else was relatively good.

This one:

Same as yours but a little better as it has less chances of flashing. Although the guy flashed at the end when he invisible palmed the last card.

BTW, who's the artist and band of the song in the background?

This guy's dropping of the card is not so good because he makes it seem like he's just separating a double. I like papel's vid better. he makes the illusion more convincing.

I liked both but was just saying how the way papel did it, he flashed, not just a little but quite a bit at one point. Very dangerous. This way is a bit safer. Anyways, I'm uploading my variant of different routines I've learnt from watching people on this forum and routines that I learnt from elsewhere.

I think all in all you performed this effect well. However, a little constructive critiscism.

I think it was a little rushed. The invisble Palm shouldnt be rushed other wise you lose the effect a little. If you go too fast your audience wont really get appreciate the 'magic'. And this is such a great effect, the magic of the invisble palm is some of the best around.

Your Ascanio spread could have been a little better. Ascanio created his spreads to look completely honest and free. I think you need to spread the cards a little wider, as they were pretty bunched up on the display, and the audience wont get to appreciate what your trying to show them. i.e a open spread of 4 cards.

I didnt like the amount of fiddling you did when you exchanged the packet on the table for the packet in your hand to produce the 3rd card. I think Paul Harris original handling at this point is much better... the idea is not to make much of a deal about it so the audience dont really remember what you did. (Hope Im not edging on exposure too much here?)

Your way of making the card visible is very good. I havent seen it handled that way. I liked it. Im not sure however if the production of the card should be a slow and elegant scene, rather than a woosh...theres the card job. But I did like this bit, the appearencein its own right is magical.

Paul Harris should have been credited. Its important we give magicians credit, especially when it comes out of the mind of a magical genius.

All in all, nice work. I enjoyed.
