Default Mirror Force by Patrick Kun



Do you guys see any flashes? If so, please tell me so I can take it down/make it public if there are not any.

Not so much a flash, but the handling can be a little better. The turnover was a bit too fast, so slow that down a bit if you can. Also, try not to go directly into the spread as soon as you cut the cards. That may be a give away on how it's done to more experienced magicians or those who are just good at perceiving minor details like that. However, I did like the patter of "if the machine isn't working, hit it until it does".

All in all, I recommend you retake it, but it's not such a major problem that laymen will find out how it's done.

Will do! Thanks, Albert! I'll have to do it another time though, so I'll just have to leave this here...

so unnatural... i almost figured it out just from this( i already know how it's done beforehand so that might have been cheating, but it's still very easy to see). Albert's advices are spot on, you might want to take the video off to prevent more people with good eyes figuring it out

I know the mirror force well and I disagree with la0o9 just a little bit. I don't think laymen will spot it. I think it only needs a little work and I agree with Albert on where the work needs to be done but try not to forget what it's like to be a layman. I honestly don't think they would spot it. la0o9 just has great eyesight ;-)

The slapping the deck made me laugh out loud. Very funny. And the emotional music had me almost ready to storm the beaches in Normandy, but alas I'm not there so I'll just eat some curry instead

Mass Effect is quite awesome, Fin.


Also guys, I'll remake it, but then the slapping of the deck won't be the same...
