I disagree, but then thats just me.

I have to say, most of you critizing him are being complete @ssholes in the way you're doing it. And no, it's not that you're not being nice, I don't care if you're telling him his video sucks, it's that you're being way too dickish in the way you say it. Honestly? I didn't even notice the crotch shots untill someone pointed them out, because I was watching what I was supposed to be watching. And for christ's sake, it's not even that big of a deal. It's not part of what he's trying to get criticism for, so shut up about it. It's supposed to be constructive, and a lot of the comments I've seen are the opposite.

But to comment on your videos, I think pretty much everone has said everything. The erdnase change shouldn't have the entire card covered, your breaks were kinda obvious, and you were very stiff and unatural looking in the color swap vid. Also, you should work on your double lift a bit, when you pull the card out, you should try to grab it more from the center, which would make it more natural. When you do the Shake/Twirl change, you shouldn't make such a drastic movement; also, I'm not saying you're doing it wrong, but I grab from the pips when I do a shapeshifter/Twirl... not really sure if there's a right way, I just find that way easier.
Anyway, good start to it, just refine things a bit to make it realy nice.

I'll send a card once I start caring.

I've seen enough videos that I can't help but notice them. I daresay the influence is from all the card manipulation videos where the teachers are loathe to show their faces and from demo videos. Apparently everybody thinks that excuses bad form.

Well too god damn bad. If you rabble want to use digital video, I'm going to be there to tell you how to do it right.

So we've already said everything you want to say, yet we're not helping. Do you listen to yourself talk?

I suggest you children get used to people like me being blunt because you're not going to get soft balls from everyone in the real world. Quit your crying and grow a pair. I'm not going to coddle you because by the time you reach your teenage years you should be ready and able to handle blunt honesty. If you can't do that, then it's not my problem.

Thats exactly what I've been trying to say all this time.

He didn't say that what you said was Wrong, its just the way you said it.

How does that make him less full of ****?

Oh the irony.

Thing is, I understood that but I think you're totally missing the point.

If even you admitted it wasn't your best, why did you post it in the first place?

What if Chrysler said "Hey, I know these cars are shoddily built, but they kind of do the job, so why don't you buy them anyways..."....oh wait...

 

[Magu Manu]

The point of posting videos to get feedback is so that you find out everything that is wrong, and improve. I obviously didn't see all the mistakes and such before I posted the video.

Consider that a lesson learned the hard way.

Sometimes you need a third person to see the mistakes.
