COMMENT & RATE ON YOUTUBE PLEASE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5sh1eH2Ycs (I don't expect positive reacions, really ) EDIT: It's still processing EDIT 2: It's not processing anymore. _________________ Mon Apr 02, 2007 12:30 pm Shadow Forum Administrator Joined: 19 Dec 2003 Posts: 1613 I think it looks cool . The cuts were maybe still a little bit scratchy but still good.

Here's some constructive criticism: Lots of cuts in this video looked the same. Some need a little more smoothness (that's what Shadow meant by "scratchy"). The vid was over 3 minutes long, and 90% of the moves were cuts. I would say shorten your vids or add some more variety to your arsenal (i.e. more armspreads, arials, fans, etc.). Also, hope this doesn't sound like nit-picking, but you should probably find a different way to reveal the top card. Your way looks way too "novice", and we know you're not a novice. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAr8aujosLw http://theeman.p8.se/Fusion.wmv Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:44 pm Vo_OD00 Full House Joined: 13 Jan 2007 Posts: 56 Location: The Netherlands DeadPeopleAllOver wrote: Not too bad for 3 months.

(but only when new progress has been made) _________________ ------------ WOOT WOOT!!! respect the big guy!

May wanna work on the smoothness/distance of your card spring, but other than that, I think that it all looked ok to me. Most of the cuts were pretty smooth, especially for 3 months' work. After some more practice, you can start to increase speed/smoothness, things like that. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing another video soon! _________________ An0n ------------------------------------------------------- -Check out my Blog for help with several different sleights and tricks!
