Just stating the obvious, but you seem to be very heavily influenced by jeff mcbride. the good part is that you do the material extremely well. the only negative is that it lacks originality. still, kudos for the skill 5/5

This is, by far, one of the best, most perfect routines for manipulation anyone has thought up.
Jeff McBride would have a run for his money. Entertaining, fast, impressive.
5/5. no doubt.

What Is the song called?

"Requiem for a tower", by Clint Mansell, but you'll also find it under "Requiem for a Dream theme" or whatever. Just get the motion picture soundtrack of Requiem for a Dream

Good song- I personally think it's overplayed, ('cause it was in a movie trailer or something like that...) BUT- the song fit your performance perfectly... What can I say? 5 out of 5's across the board... Well done.

Nah, it's from one of the best films ever - Requiem for a Dream, but true, Clint Mansell did compose a special version of it for the LOTR:TTT trailer, which is the overplayed version. It was also featured at the end of Smokin' Aces, in a bit more "electrical" version.

Veeeeeeeeeery (did I mention very?) smooth. Only thing that needs work is grabing the silk... it was kinda obvious.

Other than that, amazing.

Anyway, that was pretty damn awesome, you didn't look nervous and you performed everything smoothly and beautifully.

Great card manipulation but seems this guy was influenced by jeff mcbride
Card manipulation 10/10
performance confidence 10/10
Silk grab and transformation 9/10 A tiny bit obvious about grabbing the silk
Performance = 29/30

I thought the performance was excellent. Others have mentioned the silk grab as a little sketchy, but the transformation into the cane I think makes up for it. But that's just my opinion.

Dude. It was pretty HAWT so I'm only going to offer you the two most important pointers I have to offer.

1. Use a bigger piece of silk.
2. Hold that final pose longer. Its the hottest piece of magic i've seen in ages.

I gave it a three...

It was all executed very well, good job on that.

I didn't like the overall performance though. Seemed awkward for me.

Didn't sell it for me,

Wow! great performance, everyting was perfect, grabbing the silk could have had a little more work, but other than that perfect.

Hmm, didn't seem particularly original - it was basically Jeff McBride's stage performance without the masks. I mean, even your facial expressions were the same.

5* for sleight of hand and skill,
2* for originality.

Where did you learn your manipulations

Jack says:

(Score: 0) 53 days ago

You seemed a little uncomfortable up there. I'm sure you were nervous but it looked like you rehearsed someone elses movements. It seemed unnatural and forced.
Don't get me wrong your card work was phenominal! I'm speaking of the movement of the rest of your body. Very few people can really sell the flashy/cheesey magician "dance around". How can you make your "choreography" more natural for yourself and still keep it showy?
You're card manipulation is fantastic though!

Cheers!
