Work on your DL. I also recommend having the cards signed to make the effect seem more impossible. If you need instructions on how to do this, then just PM me.

I agree that the Double lift needs work, it's looks a bit weird. I suggest looking into the Strike double lift (my personal favourite) or the Push off double lift.

Having the cards signed adds very little to this effect, it's powerful enough as it is. They've just seen the card in your hand then a second later it's in their hand. I've performed this many times and nobody has ever suggested I used a duplicate.

I have no idea what you were going on about sandwiches for, it just sounded kind of stupid to me and added nothing to the effect (perhaps reduced the impact of the effect).

I'm not too sure about this as the sound quality wasn't very good but it sounded like your speech was a bit monotone and 'Blaine like', but this may just be because of the sound quality.

It's good to see you performing for real people, there was nothing really wrong with your performance but with a few tweaks I think you could considerably improve it.

like squirrel said, i didnt see how repeatedly refering to sandwhiches added to the effect and found it rather irritating, then i read your post and went "oh."

Double lift needs some work to look more natural. (its not bad though.)
You also look rather nervous when performing. The friendlier the better is what I feel.
Overall, the performance was alright. Wayy better than youtube kids infront of webcams id say. Good job! glad to see youre out and about performing

The cards don't need to be signed as Squ!rrel stated, but it's just my personal preference to do this with signed cards. If they ever do question a duplicate, they'll know that it's not possible because the cards were signed.;)

There's many ways this could be done impromptu but none will look as clean as with a duplicate. You'd have to bring the card in their hand back to the deck first and do some sort of switch. It's impossible to achieve exactly the same effect impromptu.
