Pretty good.
The one thing I didn't like was the signature removal near the end. To me it just didn't fit. And if it was for the sole purpose for the reveal on your arm arm at the end, I still think that you could have maybe scribbled on the "tatoo" and made some excuse about the ink melting abit or something.

And about the king cutting at the beginning, is that a Bill malone effect?

It was good, up until the final sig remove. If I was doing that, I would remove the sig, and slap the sig onto my arm. Removing the signature, then popping the card on your arm, with the same card still on the pack doesn't make sense.

Good job otherwise!

Technically good, but I didn't like the presentation you sounded as if you were selling the trick to magicians e.g, when you said 'and you can show the ace in between the two kings', you should be saying something like 'as you can see the ace is in between the two kings'.

As others have said, completely lose the removal of signature and slapping the card on your arm, just don't do it at all.

However taking into account that it is much more difficult to present a trick to a camera than it is to interact with an audience, you did a pretty decent job.

What competition did you enter by the way?

Pretty nice. Signature removal is quite ok.
King cutting was nice. The tatoo wise, not that fit.
To me, at first you show to the audience that you take out the kings
by cutting. The starting is cutting and the ending should
involve cutting or removal as well. But having the ace to appear on you
arm is just too wierd. It doesn't really end well. That's my opinion.
 
I think the reason why these people did not like the tattoo is because the "set up" for it was not unique you did the same color change like 2 or 3 times before it. I suggest trying a duck change... but I really liked the cutting to the kings. and the double sandwich.

Actually we didn't like it because it was obvious, plus he started out doing a gambling demonstration, then he went in to almost softcore bizarre.

Tyank you guyss for all the feedback I will put everything into consideration! As for the king cutting the first to king cuts im not sure who created that someone in my ring showed me that and the last part where i make the kings visually appear I thought of that myself. when i did it live in the cmpetition i classic forced the last king i did not do two erdnases in a row.

Note: your routine was very good, but by posting it, saying how awesome it is and how it won in a competition, I'm going to pick it apart. Sorry, it's just how I am. These are some things I noticed.

1. It's great that you want to be heard, but there's no reason to yell... it gets annoying.

2. What was the point of showing no King on the top and no King on the bottom, then mixing the cards up? Just doesn't make much sense to me.

3. Throughout instead of being entertaining, you were narrating what you you were doing. "I'm going to place these Kings here." "I'm going to turn over this card." We know, we're not stupid... we can see what you were doing.

4. Stop saying "Just like that." It gets annoying after the hundredth time.

5. The wrist kill at the end was very overdone, when you took the Ace at the bottom.

Other than those things, it was actually pretty good. Just to let you know, it wasn't my intention to be mean or harsh, just helpful. It has the potential to be a very good routine, it just needs the kinks worked out of the technical side and the presentational side.

Also, you might want to work on a different Kings production... or at least structure yours differently. Like I said earlier, it kind of confused me when you showed no Kings on the top or bottom, cut them into the middle, and then almost immediately cut back to the same exact spot. Just seemed obvious and overproven to me.

And just one other thing before I leave you alone: ditch the tattoo. It's not believable that a kid your age has a tattoo, which prompts the statement, "So it's a temporary tattoo, which means he made me pick that card." It would prompt the same statement with a real tattoo, as well. So I say ditch the tattoo part. But that's just me, opinions vary, and you may decide to keep it.
