Not too bad, I do like the mis direction tricks, I like how you keep the heat off the deck when you start it. By messing up ;) then you recover, that keeps them guessing. One thing I would do is do a revel of the cards to start out saying something like, This deck has giving me alot of problumes, show all the cards are norm. This will setup in their minds that is it a normal deck. Then you could go on with your missed up trick.
Nice work I give it a 8 out of 10. :D

To a spectator who's never heard of svengali decks it goes like this:

Okay, I chose the King of Hearts. I'm set.
Okay, he just put my card in the middle of the deck. Wonder what happens next.
He's lifting the top card...HA! That's not my card! David Blaine can make it go to the top you know!!
What's he doing? Is he doing something sneaky? He's using sleight of hand. Maybe he's got something up his sleeves (spectators are always so paranoid about sleeves)
Oh I get it- he moved that card second to the top.
Now what's he doing? WTF? All the cards are now my card.
WTF? Now they're not my card anymore.

The ending is weird but cool. It does take away from the "teleport to the top" trick, but that was weak in presentation to begin with. At the end you just showed the entire gimmick and flashed it right in front of their face and they don't know what's going on. Nobody will suspect that the cards are different lengths, so that's the power of the svengali. People don't have a clue what's wrong with the deck. So it's a nice trick, but be wary that people will always want to see the deck afterwards, so don't be caught guillty with 26 kings.

Thanks do you know any good ways not to get caught.
???

You might find a good way. Maybe go right into another trick.

Well done, but I suggest watching CC2 for a smoother card switch. From 1st to 2nd.
