Overall good.
But it is to obvious as to what you are doing with you left hand. I think the movement of the left hand should be as minimal as possible when laying down the invisible card. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism.
Magic is a vanishing art.

"Invisible Palm" is what Larry Jennings called this routine, and one of the most important aspects he stressed - and took credit for - was that the two packets never came in contact with each other. For this reason alone, the Jennings version is automatically more deceptive.
Your audience isn't stupid. When you combine the all the cards cards, only to immediately separate the last ace, it is entirely unmotivated and therefore very suspicious, especially since you fail to show the face of the last ace immediately prior to its "vanish". Darwin Ortiz's "no contact rule" applies specifically to this routine, and violating it seriously weakens the "magic". Also, between the first and second sequence you display the two tabled aces, and then turn them face-down - only to display them again after you've handled the other packet. I think this inconsistency would be noticed by virtually any audience other than children and mental home residents. Find a copy of the Jennings version and study it. He solved most of the problems you exhibit in this version. TW

Yes, Thomas Wayne is 100% right.You are executing the moves well but you don't use the proper moves in this kind of effect.I see no reason for picking up the 2 tabled aces again.
Do yourself a favour and pick up the original by Larry Jennings. I also recognize some moves you are using like Arnaud Chevrier does in his Invisble Palm routine (but he does them deceptive) Work on it. All the best Jerry |

I also want to second studying Jennings. I also wanted to comment on the transfer of the third ace. You show an ace of spades, then another ace of spades, then you palm an ace of spades and have an ace of spades left? try switching that to red aces and it could be very deceptive, not so much with the most recognizable card of the deck.
