Nice sanwich combinations you have there.Its so nice to see a video in which the magician is talking, and not just the usual rap/death/gangster soundtrack over a few false cuts.
Routine was really good. As the others have said, although you're performing to other magicians, just don't move your hands if it's not part of the trick, so don't throw in too many dribbles (I usually do flourishes in between tricks, but during, it becomes a distraction).
But hey that's a smaller point. The routine was good, although aybe cut out three and go straight to four. I remember Sankey does something like the last phase, and he does an invisible palm type reveal for showing Mrs. Betsy's card between the jacks.
Thanks mate.Yes the invisible palm is a good way for revelation at the end.I know Bill Malone uses this revelation too.I will look at this in detail.Thanks for comments.
Kevin...Hands moving around to fast,where? if your applying to the first effect,there suppossed to.Also this is done in a "sharing with other magicians way",Not a DEMONSTATION of my act.Lower res does'nt help.
Everyones style varies.Mine is a close-up, casual, joking, with lots of participation & interaction from spectators which is why I probably move around alot(remember you have to give everyone around you a look at whats going on.).I try to be natural first then improve slowly as this I believe is the only way for me.I will look deeper into this when i get a vid of pro performance to see where i can improve.Thanks for comment.
In my opinion there was way too much movement. Both your hands keep moving back and forth, and my eyes had to follow you as if I was trying to follow a fly in the room. Steady your hands a bit. Some magicians talk a lot about framing. I think it could be helpful for you to make your magic better.
hey man, great routine. I agree with Aramis. Phase 1 appears stronger than phase 2. What I like about it is the fact you can stop whenever you want. But I am a strong believer of the number 3 in a routine. Three phases, 3 cards, 3 ... 4 seems a lot to me, but that's just me
Aramis - Yes your right.I've rally just done this casualy to share routine,so revelation should be much better than shown. />Again the order of routine is arse about face for strength,but I've found it flows easier for me.Im just one of thoses lazy persons who try to make things as easy as posible.However,thats why i've posted,so I can get some more ideas etc.
The 4th phase (optical finish) was shown to me by a magician friend named Mike,which was the combination at the end.
As you can tell,Im always thinking outside the box (so to speak) thats why I try multi-phase routines.Hit & miss, trial & error.Thats how you learn something new & unique.Thanks again for your comments there much appreciated.
Slick work as always. I think you could have timed the revelation a bit better for the first phase. To my mind, the first phase is much stronger than the second. I would do the 'in the deck sandwich' first. What do you think? I'd never seen phase 4, is that yours? Looks very cool.
Great combo, you had me "JACKED UP" (pun intended)from the beginning. Jacked up = English for entertaining, and magical, and messed with my head...LOL,,,, Great job my friend
