Thank you for the comments. I will work on making the production neater, I don't use the production taguth on the DVD because, quite frankly, I hate Tenkai palming.
Hey Man,
You really gotta work on that second vanish, it looked pretty bad. Although i did like your patter and the production at the end for the queens.

I agree with the second vanish... I had a bit of trouble "getting it in" (insert immature joke here).
Hey man,
I am going to sound like a little bit of an ass because I have been working on the queens for the past 4 or so months now so I apologize in advance.
First off, I think you should maybe rework the first vanish, I found it was quite obvious but then again, that is from a magicians point of view.
Second, your second vanish was horrible, you should really work on it, I literally cried, you should really listen to the bucks on how they do the second vanish.
Third, I really did not like the patter with it, you sounded like a desperate kid who can't get a girlfriend and I don't think you want your spectators/audience thinking that.
Last but not least, your production was cool but I think you should still work on it.

I don't feel the patter was bad at all, and no audience in their right mind would feel that it is true. It is obviously played for comedy. But thank you for your suggestions. I personally have only been working on The Queens for about 5 days.
I didn't think it was absolutely horrible, but it needed a bit of work. The second vanish was absolutely horrible. But, I had more of an issue with your patter and things of that nature. The patter was ok, but it was definitely cheesy... if not in the words, then in the way you presented the patter. Also, you almost made me sea-sick with the amount of rocking back and forth you did... I know you won't do that for a real audience (hopefully, anyway), but if you continue to work for the camera, you need to work on that.

I liked it. I normally perform this as a pretty quick effect. I like how you slowed it down a bit. I did like the patter. I thought the production at the end was pretty cool too. 
However, your 2nd vanish wasn't the best in the world. The last vanish was best in my opinion. That looked amazing. As for the 3rd queen, I wasn't a fan. I love the Cardini Change. The card changes RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES! It's very visual and I felt your change took away from that. However, I don't know the move you did, but I'm guessing you did that because of the angle restrictions of the Cardini Change. Other than that, I liked it. Work on the 2nd vanish. The 3rd vanish was done well, but I like the original. (It's your preference though.) I also liked the production. Good job. However, it does need a bit more work.

Thats the other thing i was trying to think of, thats one other thing that definitely needed work, and just out of curiosity if you have only been working on the queens why would you post it on youtube?Don't take that as me being rude, i'm just curious.
Of course... I filmed a test run after practicing endlessly for five days, and it ended up turning out half-decent. I just wanted to post it and get some feedback, comments, and advice. The second vanish didn't look great, so I will work on that. The patter is just my original presentation, so forgive me for not being a "hey, watch what I can do that you can't do" kind of guy when performing.
Allright thanks for the answer, maybe change something in your fist post to say after 5 days of practice or something like that. That way people don't assume you have been practicing it for a long time. And I liked your patter it was pretty cool.
I'm glad you like the presentation. I will emphasize the joke in the future... I didn't emphasize it in the video because it was off-the-cuff as is most of my humour. But this joke sounds like a keeper .
