I have three suggestions.
1. Have you tried freestyling along to really expressive music, or maybe your favourite music ever? Something very very beautiful or exciting, something that moves you? Something that makes you laugh out loud and dance like nobody's watching? If you can bring something of that into your act, it will become way more interesting.
2. If you're going to do interesting body moves, do them all the way. Sometimes they are there and sometimes not, and sometimes they seem a bit half hearted. Make a major theme out of them! Get some beepy electronic robot music, exaggerate the crap out of all those moves, watch your video back and work on your lines until they're perfect, see if you can match the body moves to the tricks you're doing. Make a big thing out of it, or don't do it at all.
3. Watch that video again and just focus on looking at your face. An audience is going to look at your face frequently - that's just what people do. I'm sure you've got an expressive face in real life; you can use it to communicate feelings to your audience, or to make eye contact with them, or to draw their attention to things. Your face is a canvas. Consider what you put on it!
Here's some inspiration for you:
