You feed the madness, and it feeds on you. 
Some people already know I do Extreme Card Manipulation videos, from the topic I made on here a while ago, so if you didn't read that, this topic will probably come across as completely random (which is probably the point of off topic so yeh...)

Ok, so I'm a little pissed off now. I decided instead of making a Card Manipulation video, I'd do something different and make a video of actual card magic (Since I do actually like to practice slieghts occasionally, instead of continously treating my decks of cards like a skateboard).
So I made a colour change video, which is a type of card magic (obviously) and all I'm getting is people accusing me that it's fake, and that the video is just completely edited, which really annoys me because it uses proper slieghts.
The video link is below if you want to see it, feel free to tell me what you think either here, or on youtube. Including anything you think could be improved but please don't say it's all editing:

Card Magic - Colour Changes.

Also, the copyright is getting ridiculous on youtube, I had to remove my first XCM performance because youtube removed the music from it (Fort Minor - Remember The Name), saying that it was copyright and I do not have permission to use the song on my video. Since the video is completely crap without the music, I removed it.

On a side note, I am working on a new Dmod (I have been for quite a while). It's already almost Quest size, but there is lots more to be done, so it could even end up an epic. That's all I'll say for now, I'll make a proper preview thread with screenshots when it's over 3 quarters complete (which could take a long time).The Dmod's title is "The Dark Avilan".

Don't get pissed off at that, it's the greatest compliment you could get! They're basically saying the tricks are unbelievably good, and since you know they're not fake, you should take pride at that. =)

Yeh, I guess your right, but it still annoys me when people say that about my videos.

Love! True love! 
0_o Wow. I know some of the techniques that you used, and I have to say that you pulled them off flawlessly.
I only knew one, and the others just left me watching the video again. And again. And again......

Good luck on you DMOD.

Thanks, I don't usually do much magic because I think I'm better at XCM. However, I will make a couple of videos every now and then.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
As someone who dabbled in card-tricks when he was younger, I have to say, that's some impressive stuff.

the weirdest thing that i can closley relate to 'magic' would be that when my emotions hit a certain climax(i.e. happy, sad, melancholy, anger, etc.) that technology(like t.v.'s computers, things like that) either turn off or onn by themselves.

That's quite amazing... I can't stop watching it! I like the beginning where you timed it to the music

Thanks. I dabbled into card tricks too, I just took it a little further, which is also how I got into XCM. I decided I'd learn how to at least shuffle a deck of cards, since I didn't know how, and I ended up learning a whole heap of shuffles and cuts and decided I liked that better.

"That's quite amazing... I can't stop watching it! I like the beginning where you timed it to the music"

Thanks, I always try to make an intro timed to the song, it seems to keep people watching.
