I like this trick. I've been practicing it from the book. I'm not sure I like taking the Spades and doing all the counts with them. It doesn't seem to mesh with the trick. Maybe just doing it with one count.

I’m not sure about it either. I selected it because it was different from the plots we usually see.

Overall Nice job! would work on the double lift a bit more so it seems more natural. The initial break hold was a little obvious too. Having said that i know what to look for even as a non magician. To others it may not be as obvious so take my feedback with a grain of salt. As i said Nice job overall! :)

Thanks. One reason I started the channel was to start seeing things from a spectator's point of view. And breaks are definitely a weakness.
