RIGHT wherer do i start
First video when the coin is in your palm u actually get a glimpse of it as you transfere it to the can
second video how the hell can you are you performing to the lad or the camera man
if you are doin the video to the lad he can see where the coin is and you walk off to open the can, why didnt you just get a glass and make him sit at a different angle.
overall badly performed
bit harsh but true

In a recent thread a number of members debated the pro's and cons of practicing in front of a mirror.

Recording your performance onto video is in my opinion a much better way as you can then play back and watch for the tell tale bits that you need to improve upon.

I would recommend that you continue recording your effects but watch them over and over again in order to 'iron out' the overall performance. You need to be really harsh in judging yourself and only post when you are really happy with the WHOLE presentation of an effect, and not before.

If you're not happy then start over again.

I often think that the people that make it to the top are those that are very critical of themselves and they spot the blemishes that others wouldn't notice - and then they work on it some more.

I think half the time you're trying to translate what your friend is saying to english. If you did the trick in your own language, i think it'd be stronger. And try to add more of your personality into the trick
