Merry Christmas to you too for a few days ago, love hearing another Australia accent when watching card tricks :P
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

I love the accent - it honestly makes watching magic more enjoyable for me.

Now, here is what you need to work on: Smoothness. Your moves are very easy to spot for a beginner magician even, and a layman can see them if he or she tries hard enough.

Now what a magician can and cannot observe is insignificant in magic (some people will tell you otherwise but they're clueless). Your goal is to fool the layman COMPLETELY.

That's done by doing your moves very smoothly and efficiently at a constant speed that doesn't stagger or change.

Do a trick a hundred thousand times, out loud, in front of a mirror and you will master the moves required for it.

Your voice and attitude is definitely good for performance, so good job in that department.

As an addition to what Alex said, I'd say your deck of 125s looks really worn out, it clumps a lot when you spread. You might wanna use a deck in better condition for performing. ;)

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I agree, but with a small caveat.  In MOST circumstances, if a trick is good enough to fool a skilled, knowledgeable fellow magician, it will absolutely fry a layman spectator.  It's why some people set that as their goal.  But yes, fooling your audience is more important than fooling some know-it-all who reads the same books as you and watches the same training videos...
