Magic Tunnel / False Swipe

Thanks guys! And yeah I forgot to mention that the name was purposely False Swipe after the Pokemon move, it doesn't really apply to the trick though because there is no false swiping of anything lol, but oh well w/e lol.

For Magic Tunnel, I really do like the method of the D*ub*e because it seems so natural in the handling that its tough to notice it, even for magicians i feel. The problem with the one handed placement control "setup" is the camera angle is so awkward and i have no option of a different angle with what i have. So its difficult to do as you do in the repulse routine because the angle and i'd have to "repulse" the chosen card ALOT, but i do it that way in person! And yeah, I do need to refine the Repulse, I was focused more on it being really fast instead of doing the full and proper motion, plus i never really noticed the thumb thing before, good catch! I'll just have to work on the thumb motion while hopefully retaining the speed of the control!

For False Swipe, I see what you mean about the thumb again, it is a problem but I'm happy its only a small one. Refining the move is very difficult indeed! And as for the T**ka* I agree, the problem as well with that performance is when I originally got the card in that position, it wasnt quite ideal and it felt that it would fall out of my hand if I didn't have the pinky support, which is something I need to work on a lot lol!

Thanks for the honest feedback though, I really appreciate it, and I'm so glad you both like Magic Tunnel as I haven't seen those combinations of sleights used in a single trick anywhere before, although its much much better with a vocal performance because it really adds to the effect when the original card is incorrect and the spectator believes you made a mistake but then its like BLAM awesome unsuspecting change hahaha.

What do some of you other awesome people have to say about them?! <3 you all I want more feedback so I can improve!
