I actually liked it a lot and I don't mind the lifts nor would any spectator in the world.
There were three little things that bothered me though. The first one being the way you took the jokers off of the egde of the table, the second one being the extremely fast appearance of the face-down selection between them and the third one being the ending. What was the reason for having the cards placed like that, with the deck closest to the camera? It seemed like you wanted to hide something and used the deck as some sort of distraction, while obviously that isn't the actual reason.
