Love it. Also I don't know why, but you just don't look old enough to be in college.

I'm 17, so your suspicions are correct :). I skipped a grade in elementary and started elementary school early! And also I live in Canada so it's different :)

good job, you had me right up until the "now I'll put the deck behind my back", then I felt you got weak b/c of that, 3/5 stars from me dogg.

I like the misdirection for the loading, that was very good. However, you might want to invest in something that teaches the Mercury Card Fold... it would help you a lot with this. The performance wasn't anything to call home about, but overall, it was pretty good... 3/5.

I do know the mercury card fold I just wasn't that confident with it and I'm still not...

That's a cool effect overall, and you are a good performer. I gave it a 4/5. That a high 4 though ;)

Here is some constructive criticism: (1) Firstly, this isn't really a big problem, but I noticed it so it's worth addressing. When you spread the cards on the floor, why would you ask them if they see their card when all you have to do is look for their signature? Maybe just take a quick glance and say "I don't see your signature anywhere..." -- I'm sure you can think of something good to say. (2) When you say "I felt something weird when I dropped the cards." - That was good because the spectators could probably start to know whats coming, allowing for it to build, which is why I loved your performance. But, the production could be a little more powerful. Maybe move slower to create a more dramatic showing of their card.

(Read next comment... not enough room)

(Continued from before...)

(3) Lastly, the second one didn't get a very strong reaction, and I think it was because of several reasons. I think that only one or two people could actually see the whole effect, make sure to be in a visible, open area for the whole routine. Then, make sure to take the cards out of the persons hands. The girl in the second performance seemed to be distracted from the production because she was still holding some of the cards. Make sure the heat is off them so they can fully enjoy the ending.

Overall you did a great job, I have never done a routine similar to that before, but hopefully my tips can be of use. Keep up the great work!

4/5 It was good but there are slight subtitleies that could've made your performance better. For example, the patter could've been better leading to better reactions. the girl in the second portion of the video didn't seem to impressed with the trick.

Anyway, I thought you should've gotten better reactions but whatever

Good stuff but the deck behind the back thing wasn't too impressive.

More confidence!
Shadow782 says: (Score: 0) 4 months ago
Very nice, I hope you don't mind if I borrow it. A little tip about the card behind the back: before you do, patter about how the spectators hand's heat leaves an imprint on the card and how you can do find their card without even looking at the deck.
just a suggestion

Although I really dislike when the magician's use the "I'm going to find the card behind my back" idea, I do respect you for staying within your skill level.

I'd much rather see you do it this way than exposing the mercury card fold. (Which will make this trick even stronger.)

Good effect. Loved it.
