To me, your misdirection is superb. Your aquital without making it an obvious aquital is your strength. I don't mind the stern look, but it could change a bit...I see you as angry. I believe you intend to portray the attitude that an American Actor once did as a commercial here in the States.
Mr. Wild, Wild West or Mr. Baa, Baa, Blacksheep--Robert Conrad--was a strapping little man who put a battery on his shoulder and dared you to knock it off./>
Perhaps a Hayashi-type smirk with a raised eye-brow could convey: I dare you to figure out what I'm doing. God knows I can't.
The big concern that I see in your magic is your presentation. The sleight of hand is excellent, but we all should go beyond it. Consistently, I've seen in every video, you have an expressionless face. There is no sign of wonder, or amazement, or confusion, or interest in your facial expressions at all. IMO this is what is missing in your magic.
In this particular video, you call this trick 'Shaolin' - this conjures images of kung fu - martial arts - concentration, focus, determination, commitment, discipline etc... - see if you can inject some of those qualities in this trick.
A good example of this is an old video of Raj's: href="http://www.magicvideodepot.com/main/members/action/viewvideo/553 6/Karate_Coin_Production/">http://www.magicvideodepot.com/main/members /action/viewvideo/5536/Karate_Coin_Production/
Superior coin handling, extreme fairness, typo in the title sequence and very visual transformations, this routine has it all! />This is getting 4 stars from me, it's more like a 4.8 but I thought the ring thing execution at :40 seconds was just not on par with the rest. The rest was so incredibly above average that it borders on perfection. But the Fsw really stands out and it hurts the routine somewhat. Had it been executed at the same level you execute your other moves, this would have been a 5 without even having to think about it. Awesome routine
