Some great filming! Looks like a cool camera for sure

Not so keen on the amount of flourishing and would have preferred more magic, considering the title; but I am a little biased since I don't see much value in doing a lot of flourishes. The type of crowd I perform to is not that interested in how awesomely I can cut cards, etc.. They want to see my magic and I find the impact is more pure if I don't mix in lots of flourishes; but that's just my audience. Still I was very impressed by the quality and technique. You've clearly been practising plenty and it is paying off!

Much respect for a great project. One minor niggle: I would lose the gloves. I was almost expecting to see some flourishes from the seat of a speeding motorcycle or perhaps some break-dancing, but used just for card-work the gloves looked quite out of place to me.
