Great work Travmang! Both videos are awesome.. I agree with everything Albert points out and following his tips can only make things even better and smoother. From a beginner's perspective I'd like to add that I saw ZERO flashing. Yes you left a few clues as to what sleights you may be using due to movement and posture but I think most laymen would be blown away and totally clueless at what you currently have going there. Improving the T**ka* posture, the Repulse flow, and other details are well worth working on as you have already discovered; but hey, overall, what I saw was confident, high quality card handling. Keep up the great work.

The first effect really was good, except your control was a bit less than ideal( everyone understand that there's always room for improvement).

The second effect was a bit unnatural, on the change and the T**k*ai, take a look at Mark's "The city of Paris", when he showed that the top card wasn't the selection, notice his hand position, if you can get your T**k*i to look like that from even just 1 angle, you're good to go.

And the actual change in the second effect, i suggest you end with an "Orbinase" style change, with the deck being held sideways.

BTW, nice concepts.
