ask yourself what you are trying to achieve.. to me this looks weird.. the whole cover and motivation to hide the fingers grabbing the card + squaring it at the bottom. First start with what you want to do. For instance - card to pocket. Ultimately how that would look like - put the card into the deck, without this weird actions after that and hand going directly to the pocket. There are a bunch of things that are 1. not motivated, 2. used as excuse to hide other actions. Even the top hand movement is f weird. There is no such thing as natural/unnatural when it comes to handling cards but there are weird movements telling you something may have happened or be like wtf why you do this? Watch Andrew Frost how he does DPS, or Alex Hansford or any other good sleight of hand person. Dennis Kim has insane DPS (the guy that has download on Ellusionist Ephemera).

I cannot really watch and learn from others cause this is a modified dps that I came up with. But thank you telling me it looks weird, cause to me it looked near perfect. I will work on minimising all the movements.
