It was a very thorough review that covered all the bases but the length of the video was a little too long. :-\
Long reviews aren't bad when its entertaining but your added video time was not necessary. The parts when you were searching and looking for the jokers and the court cards, added nothing to the review. From 4:15 - 4:45, 30 seconds of fiddling, nothing was happening.
How does finding the jack of clubs, putting it down on the table, putting it back on top of the deck, and then finally holding the jack to fix a warping issue helpful in a deck review?
If you want to cut out the extra time I recommend either having the cards set up in an special order before the review or cut out the parts where you were searching for cards and nothing was happening. Or you can talk about the cards while you search for other cards so there isn't that dark silence.
As for the handling portion of the review, when you fan the cards, give the audience some good eye candy and show off the pips. Your fanning skill is good enough for that and a deck review just isn't complete without card fans showing the faces.
I'm just being critical, nothing personal but I hope you take some of my advice as I see potential in your reviews.
I do like your other deck reviews though

Thanks for your advice will take note of that in the future.

Great review. I agree with DeckReview here. Also, I like how you have pauses between each key sentences you make. However during that time, instead of fidgeting with the box, I recommend you leave it in the same place and let us admire the artwork.
