"Magic in 30 seconds? Check it out, here we have a deck of cards... SCREW IT! I'm gonna use a leaf! Have you ever seen a magic trick with a leaf? I did not either!"

Any advice will be welcome

No editing, up-close, good lighting, home-made.
It gives the impression that I could do that anytime, anywhere. And so it is!

Looked quite nice. I liked the mid-air rotation moment.
The floating and animation looked very smooth and natural. Not jas jerky as you often see with levitations.

Llooks good, no jerking as we normally see, the mid air rotation is a nice twist (pun intended)

I really wanted to make something float as if by magic or at least to look like a magnectic energy,
I'm pleased I could achieve a good result.

Thank you guys very much

I have seen a floating leaf before. David Blaine did it on one of his tv specials.

Hmm.. where can I find his performance?
I hope it's not like the ones you see on youtube! .-.

It's one of the extras of his 'Street Magic' special, IIRC. He does it for a kid in Haiti(?), whislt the wind is blowing. IMO it doesn't look really magical, from what I recall.

I thought it looked ok. Its a leaf attached to IT and then kinda blows in the winds currents. I think if you did it under the right circumstances, it could be great. Outside just casual with friends, but not as a set show piece or street magic.
