You focus too much on the tricks and not enough on the show segment. Your job is to entertain the crowd with your skills, so try to come up with a routine for your shows, so that you spend less time juggling and doing random tricks.

Work on your flow & crowd interaction, learn some transitions (and put them to use) and put in a few crowd pleasers into your routine (hat slip, acrobatic tricks, sole juggles, t-shirt trick, etc.) and don't EVER repeat that shit you were doing with your hands near the end (from 4:17), looks terrible...

Good luck!

To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
It's what you do that counts, but it's how you do it which separates you from the rest.
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules.

Alright man yes I see your point. Okay no more hand stuff :| And umm need to learn sole juggling now. And Im not sure how I'll learn acrobatic stuff :\ I'd love to learn flipping and all but theres just no place available near me to learn it properly :| Plus Im scared :P And oh yea I can do the transition thing. I guess I'll just make some up.
But hey thanks alot for your post Miran!

Acrobatic stuff - it can be very simple stuff like a handstand (neckstall, foot/hamstring clutch), doesn't have to be something from Abbas Farid's last video ;)
If you want to learn more advanced acrobatic stuff, find some gymnast or someone who's into tricking who's willing to help you out.

Hands - by all means, feel free to use them in your shows, but please, not that stuff you were doing (the basics are usually good enough - Arm rolls, Carousel, etc.) :)
