Good job! It always takes courage to go out and perform!
Just a few pointers for the future (which is hard to control at first): 1) It seems like you were a bit nervous, which made you speed up some of your tricks. Slow down and make sure the spectators can easily follow what you are doing. Just take a nice breather in the middle of your tricks to slow down your pace; 2) During your the biddle trick, you said something like "now spread the cards and you will see one card face down". In the future, I would try and avoid telling the spectators what will happen since it ruins the climax. Other than that, well done!

I have been debating what to do in the biddle trick, because many people don't know what to do if I don't expressly tell them. For example, many people either just turn over the top card or start spreading then stop, because they don't know what they're looking for. While I agree that in general you shouldn't say what's going to happen, I do think that in this instance there is still some suspense because they look to see 1) if it really happened and 2) if it's actually their card. Though I still think that this isn't ideal, just from my experiences better than not.
Also thanks!

Of course, i know what you mean since ive been performing the biddle trick like that before. Personally i changed up the patter up a bit so that i could later say "...and like that your card returns to the deck. Check for yourself" or something along those lines. Coming up with a good patter is always difficult

Personally, i just like to act like i don't know anything( after the false count i spread the cards BEFORE saying that i'll make one disappear), and then i just let them "help" me look for the card inside the deck( yep, incompetent magician act, but i only do it as the 3rd or 4th trick after establishing that i'm a decent magician, it loosens people up a bit). But i agree, patter is hard...

Good job going out there and performing for the crowd!
I do believe a little more practice can really improve the performance, but nice job regardless!
