A good place to start with Card Flourishing?

[cwr1982]

Hi. I have been performing for a while, but have never had an interest in card flourishing until recently. My question is, does anyone have a suggestion of a good place to begin in getting started with doing some card flourishing? All input is welcome and much appreciated!!

D+M is good start. He has some that are easier then others. You will be able to work your way to the advanced. "Motion" is DVD and Dan & Dave's "Trilogy" is good to.

For me i think it should comes like this:

Cardistry Vol.1(Andrei Jikh) --- Sybil (you can learn this anyway) --- Motion( Daniel Madison) --- Trilogy & System (Dan and Dave)

D+M is good start. .

His stuff is not even close for beginners.
I say either extreme beginners by De/vo,the encyclopedia of playing card flourishes or jeff mcbrides art of card manipulation

I say if you are going to do some thing then just do it. Beginner or not if you don't try you will never succeed.

Well he evidently asked for somewhere to begin. Your end sentence is irrelevent in this.

Terrible advice.

If you're going to learn magic, it doesn't mean you just do it. There's a lot more to it than that. Same with flourishing. Same with anything else. You don't struggle through advanced physics without studying the basics. You don't study vectors without studying algebra, etc.

Starting with something that is not appropriate will put you back in your learning. visualartist's suggestions have probably been the best so far.

I'd like to put a word in on behalf of Cap Casino's Back to Basics 1 and 2 DVDs. No-one ever mentions them, but they predate XB and teach a lot of fundamental flourishes in detail, and provide a good grounding to move on to harder material.
