All that terms... AAAAAAH

[D21400]

As I told a 100 times, I am really new in Flourishing.
I heard a lot (and i mean a lot) terms:
Sybil
Cut
....
...
...
...

What does it all means.

So my question is:
What terms are their and what do they mean?

 

[magicpowder]

well the sybil is a flourish

and flourishing are fancy cuts

and cuts are well cuts/ flourishes/ bleeding wounds

5 faces of sybil is a cut created by Chris Kenner and published in his book Totally Out of Control. The basic movements of this cut have been manipulated into thousands of different variations. Notable ones are Sybilism from Dan and Dave's Jackson 5, and What the Hell Happened to Sybil by Brian Tudor.

The basic Sybil Cut can be learned everywhere on youtube. Take a look at it and then see what variation you can come up with .

i find most of the terms are self explanatory, armspread,one handed cut, etc

if you feel like expandeding that list we'll tell you more

When you first start off in Flourishing there will be Sh*tloads of terminology.

If you purchase some flourishing DVD's you will realize that most flourishes have names because they look different.

Sybil is probably the most popular cut that most flourishers start out with and is the bread and butter move for more advance flourishing

That's more magic. It's Ambitious card routine.

nope, flourishing isn't just cuts.... cuts is just a small part of flourishing.

 

[MrHoudis]

The Ambitious Card Routine is a popular magic routine which follows the storyline of a selected card which is "ambitious" and continuously appears on the top of the deck, even after being repeatedly inserted into the middle.

Kinda like your vids.... riaght?

 

[copperfield 14]

"Look at your card. If i put it in the middle it comes to the top"That trick Just youtube it.

 

[D21400]

Some explenation.
I'm from belgium and my english isn't that good. So some things I can understand just to read the words won't always help. Sorry guys

 

[Dimitri]

Kinda like your vids.... riaght?

didn't we already talk about that on pm?

 

[The Tumbleweed]

Wow, I wouldn't try to learn them all at once, most are self explanatory, some are just weird.
You should know stuff like fans and all that stuff
Packets - A clump of cards used in a flourish. ie, 5 faces of sybil has 5 packets
Packet displays - A flourish with multiple packets
One handed - Floursish done with one hand

I can't really think of many right now, but most you'll hear are just the name of cuts and flourishes, like eko, and jackson 5.

Don't lose sleep over not knowing the terminology, it took me a while.

 

[D21400]

What's a shift?

 

[JPIllusions]

ok so...

a cut is just replacing the top packet with the bottem packet of the deck. But in flourishing you do that, but with many more packets.

Sybil is just the name of a certain flourish

ACR is ambitious card routine where a card is placed in the middle and jumps to the top

A shift is one teqnique you can use to bring a middle card to the top or where ever you want it in the deck
