Awesome!

A big part of performing a demonstration of skill like this is keeping it interesting for the average layman, and that means speaking while you do it. Nobody just wants to watch somebody quietly deal cards. A good story or patter line also gives you natural cover that can disguise any minor pauses or inconsistencies. The fact that you're this smooth at it while silent is a very good thing! I would if delivering patter while doing the sleights would affect your performance positively or negatively?

Thanks Scott. And you definitely nailed it on the point of talking. Ricky Jay was a great bottom dealer and even he would talk while dealing the cards. For the average person they are going to say ok.... So you are sailing cards around good on you. People somewhat in the know will say smooth bottom deal. And then on then on the other extreme side of the spectrum who are very accomplished bottom dealers won't care at all because they probably wouldn't look down this far to begin with..... Very good point.
