    This is really great! It looks even better than the double undercut and is more fooling, for sure.

  • @michaeleasler5249
    @michaeleasler5249 11 месяцев назад

    I agree that a double undercut is an inferior and obvious move. Now I want to offer some constructive criticism of your video. Firstly, you have a tendency to wander; write a script and stick to it when shooting. Secondly, stop adding "right?" at the end of expository sentences. It is a meaningless question as the audience cannot provide confirmation and it diminishes you as an expert. It makes you appear poorly educated and inexperienced as a speaker. Finally, and I hate to even say it, manicure your nails and remove any dirt beneath them. Dirty nails form a poor first impression.

    James I just now read the comments that you had gotten from a couple of other people. I really thought that they were pretty strong. Yes it’s good to get critiques on what we do but like I said I think they were a little strong the comments made by these two people. Thank you for all your knowledge you didn’t just give us equivocate but also gestures and gave us the idea how your mind thinks when you’re doing equivocate which is excellent again I say thank you and yes I have seen many of your videos and I definitely learned a lot from them even as compared to other videos on RUclips that I watch for magic. Anyway that’s my two cents don’t want to ruffle no feathers but that’s just the way I feel I thought it was an excellent video and it covered everything in detail which is something I need it anyway thanks again good day to you

And not that just add because I know you want us to hit on the first time but I need practice at the equivocate how do I go about practicing that do I just do it a lot practice or is there some other idea that you have thank you again for all of your videos that you put out they are all excellent.

    • @jamespena6325
      @jamespena6325 2 года назад

      Best way to practice this is doing it to other people. You will start getting a better at understanding how the human mind picks the card and you’ll be better prepared for others. Trust me it’s a little scary to do but I promise it works. Please let me know how else I can help. And thank you so much for commenting and letting me know!

    Not trying to be mean, just giving you feedback: a 3min video should have been enough to show this trick and explain how it’s done. There is no way people would actually watch a 20min for this simple trick. You can probably check in your analytics after how long the audience stops/skips the video.

    Bossing that quarantine, nice vid man thanks, good tips to improve the move and I like the different variations you go through. I've wondered why this technique doesn't get used more and realised I think people think it's too simple, however, I've also come to realise it doesn't matter how you carry out your deception so long as it deceives. It can make you feel better doing something with a higher level of difficulty but a seemingly simpler method can be just as effective a lot of the time.
