Hey team,
As I near my speech and live card trick (only three days away!!!!) I can't help but be more nervous and excited at the same time. I know I've worked so hard over the past few weeks and truly believe I've become greater at card tricks. I think the main thing besides actually seeing my card tricks is tracking the progress of the rate at which I've learned them. Before it would take me about 4-5 times of watching the YouTube video and then a bunch of other times to get it down without watching it. Now I can watch the video 1-2 times at most and be able to do it on my own in the first 1-2 tries. I find that truly fascinating as I never thought even though I would be spending so much time on something, I would still have such a drastic improvement. As I have learned my last few tricks there was a very cool one where I make it seem like I am reading 5 minds at once. Not only is it a great trick but it gets many involved.
I thought that not only to show how far I've come with card tricks by showing them but by teaching one. I did this trick many times in class and I had great reactions so I decided to teach it.
So without further adieu here it is,

Also, I never realized how much I would love card tricks. They are so much more fun then I would have ever thought and I am so happy that I chose them. Not only have they brightened my homework load but they cheer me up whenever I do them. Whenever I'm sitting in my room watching Netflix or reading an article I find myself always shuffling the cards, ready to perform a new card-trick. And then when I go onto YouTube I find myself unable to click on the card-trick video. I truly have grown to love them even more. It has been a great ride so far. So excited for the Ted Talk!!!!
