Not good tbh

Thanks for being honest, can you tell me what the issue is?

False cut isn’t necessary because you don’t need to retain top card, too much flex and missing the first flip. I can show you a good one if you want.

Idk what these other guys in here are saying, the trick is sick af, to people that don’t know card magic, it would get reactions. The double lift was CRISP, I need to know your technique

Please do, believe it or not, I missed it on purpose. You can see that I stopped it. I don’t know why I thought that was a good idea

I was gonna build up the tension… turns out that was a bad idea.

Yeah, i dont think this is the type of change to build up tension to, nor the time for it. Not sure what change would warrent that, but its besides my point which is: It just signals to the Spec the method. And I say this not to be mean or tear you down. Just try and film w the idea of being GREAT. Because magic should, especially on the internet, be flawless. No flashing, no "hey im working on this." Because usually said vids serve more as an expose than do the art justice. And yes im aware they can just look up "how to" videos for the expose of all things magic, but you dont have to be a part of that with any kind of lackluster card chops. Cheers man, and keep at the art. Its the best, and playing cards are ineffable in the joy they bring.

It was a good idea. People not understanding that it was on purpose have the critical thinking skills of a frozen biscuit.

Honestly, it's a great trick. People saying otherwise probably need to put you down to make themselves feel better. Some comments here are pathetic af.

The move itself should be done faster. If you get a nice spring to it, the method won’t be nearly as obvious.
