Very good!

You have the Cups, essential moves and a bit of personal flair --
now, work on confidence.  Your eye contact telgraphs your sleights.
You might try a 'Roll-Through' for variety from all Front Loads,
or other alternatives.

I like your second person narative, but never care for the 'method reveal' approach.
Other may be able to offer some alternatives   Cheesy

I'd lose the "reveal" part too. Or at least change up the wording to something like "You might have seen magicians in the past who do this..."   "I don't do that" Or something similar.

Also, speed up the pacing of the patter. It works as a solo tutorial in front of a camera but it wouldn't work in front of people. Too many opportunities for them to blurt out things you don't want them saying.

Lastly, be careful stealing from the back of your table. Although I wasn't trying to catch anything, my eye was immediately drawn to the "dirty" hand each time. Steals are much better done when combined with other moves. You put a small ball away, that's the time for the steal, not a few seconds later as you reach behind the table for no reason.
