To be honest its not a very powerful effect. It looks like it uses a double lift and then something else I wont say becouse I dont want to reveal ya trick. Well unless you are using a brand new method its not anything new.

EDIT: After watching your other videos they aint nothing new either. P.S. Your invisable palm routine is not that flash.

but i am more of a street magician. I did the trick to these people in my school and they they freaked out so much. and i have done magic to them before and this is the best reaction Ive got. also the trick takes no prep so you can use any deck of cards

Then put a performance of you doing this live...

If you do this trick in street magic, fine, that's cool that you get great reactions. But then don't post this trick on an advanced site like theory 11 where people here are looking for the best and most creative. You might want to put a performance of you doing this live to get a better review on it.

The editing was completely over the top and unnecessary, also there were several spelling mistakes which just looks really unprofessional.

You put 'Any card is choosen', it should be 'chosen'.
Also, 'The spectator puts there hand on the card', it should be 'their'.
After that you put 'Than there card switches' I'm guessing that should say 'Then their card switches. I think there may have been something else after that but I can't be bothered checking.

As soon as I see spelling and grammatical mistakes it really stops me from taking somebody seriously. A bigger problem is that the trick itself isn't really that impressive and definitely doesn't justify having a preview.

It probably is, but a mistake in a forum post isn't the same as having multiple errors in a video of an effect you are promoting. If I was making a preview of a trick I would carefully check every aspect of it if I really cared about it and wanted people to take it seriously.
If I was correcting mistakes in his posts on the forum then your comment might be relevant, but I wasn't.

My advice would be for you to spend more time around magicians, and magic in general. Watch a lot of good magic. The keyword there is good.

Also, pay attention in English. For the record, "there" refers to location, whereas "their" refers to possession. Also, one would use "than" in a comparison: "I like this more than that." "Then" refers to time or may be used as a conditional: "if this, then that."

These are mistakes that no one should make. It's very basic English. And if one forgets, use spell check or look it up in a dictionary.

But yeah, keep watching magic.

Mhmm, it's definitely not very powerful because it uses a double lift and something else you know about. :rolleyes: I hope you never ever use a double lift because then you'd be such a hypocrite. But I know otherwise right? ;)

He's not asking whether it's new, he's asking how to improve.

This site is just as much for beginners as it is for intermediate and advanced magicians. Sure a lot of the people here are experienced but we shouldn't be discouraging the beginners by saying things like "don't post this on an advanced site"; That's not helping anyone.

I do agree on the performance aspect though, if you could post a live performance of you doing this to people we can get a better idea of how it plays out. :)

~~~~~ Rant Over - Promise ~~~~~

I've watched the video, as a video I didn't enjoy it too much as there was too much editing for me to get a proper idea of how the effect flows. I know it's just a preview but it's nice to see how one thing flows from another rather than a stage-described effect.

However, by the description I'm sure it plays out very well, something like this in the mind of a lay person is incomprehensible. One moment it's there and the next it's their card and the other is in the deck, reversed!

Regarding originality, you shouldn't really call it your trick without doing a little research on other effects which are similar in nature. Ask around on the forums here whether anybody knows of similar effects, we're always glad to help out. :) It does seem like a simple transposition, so it probably has been done before, perhaps not your methodology granted, but always check; you can only gain from doing so and your knowledge will grow and help you to create more great effects.

Keep it up though buddy, seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders.

Sean pretty much summed it up. While the trick is not original, or a magician fooler in way, if presented right it can blow the spectator's mind.

I'd say look around at other versions of the same effect, and try to develop it so that it becomes something entirely your own.

Feel free to ask questions if you need help here on the forums.

Actually, while I'm still on the subject of grammar, why don't I go over "your" and "you're." "You're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are," while "your" is the possessive form of "you."

Sorry, it just pisses me off that so many people make those mistakes when they're easy things to correct. I get it if English is your second language, but for the rest of you? Come on.
