Well I was extremely bored at home and I decide to put something new in my routine and I didn't have tricks involving the aces so I came up with this (using an old principle), of course I have to practice, I just want to know your opinion and tell me what I have to improve, Thanks. btw sorry about my english..

In my opinion, too much cutting and shuffling.

The trick didn't go anywhere. You found four Aces. Yay. The fourth revelation didn't improve on the first one.

Technically, the camera was too blurry to see the sleights clearly, but they appeared alright.

haha that's what I was looking for, someone who tell me the things directly, in others words the trick sucks I know so I will try to invent another thing, thanks oh and the camera is blurry 'cause is my webcam, my cam is broken.

To be more precise, the ending was disappointing. An effect should build up to a climax. The problem with many ace productions is that once the first two aces are found, the last two are uninteresting. If you have four different productions, they should at least go from least difficult/impressive to most. It's a structural problem more than anything else.

yeah I know what you are talking about and the thing is that to build the climax I have to talk and I don't like to talk on my videos when I perform this kind of tricks live the people just scratch their heads 'cause at the beginning they shuffle the deck I have my hands empty and then I found the aces blindfolded

While praetoritevong is correct. I believe that the spectator would enjoy these revelations and that the cutting and shuffling, to the spectator at least, would make it more convincing that what you're doing is completely impossible.

It would be a good effect... but not a great effect. praetoritevong is right... it needs a climax.

I don't think what you were doing was bad at all. That's my opinion.

Keep up the good work. Add some nice patter. Add a climax.
