The "Recreational" control is not original; several people have work on this. Personally I much prefer Akira Fuji's "Sidewinder" which is a superior way of approaching this due to how much more "natural" the grip looks. Justin Miller also offer's something similar with his "Sick" control.
The classic pass tutorial: Without meaning to sound rude I honestly don't see why you did it. There are many tutorials already out there for this move, some of which have been done by magicians who are incredibly good at it. You yourself admitted that yours is not much good. I think there are too many people on youtube learning a move and a month later offering a tutorial on it and I think all of them are wasting their time and ours.
The coffin change, again, not original. Not sure what you are saying with this? You "discovered a new handling" but "its not my idea".. So its a new handling (but it's not) and it wasn't your idea? Confusing indeed. Regardless, its a much used way of displaying what is often called the "cardini" change. Tony Chang and Chris Mayhew have used this "spread variation" on a couple of their releases. Ever thought of doing the One Handed Top Palm change, and then cleaning up with the spread? It works quite nicely
The other posts on the blog are cool. It's interesting to know what you think about the ACR and I'm jealous you found such a cool looking magic book in the school library! Had my school library stocked such a gem I may have discovered my love for card magic a little earlier in life. Overall, keep up the good work; I like the blog, but I think you should do a bit more research on moves before offering them up as "original" or "tutorials".

I'll be sure to change the posts, what i meant by "discovered a new handling" but "its not my idea" is that I found Chris and Tony doing it meaning that I discovered the footage. Thanks for your feedback -Scotty btw the recreational control had just a little variation, I out jogged the replacement card with a popout move.
