Flourishing, What to Learn?

[deck]

I can do some flourishes but very basic ones and they aren't "amazing" either. So due to there being many cardsists' on the forums I thought this would be an appropriate place to ask although I'll list the ones I can do first.

One handed cuts
Charlier cut
Scissor cut
The revolution cut
A cut that makes a triangle although I don't know the name

Flourishes
The W.E.R.M also with an extended ending
The spider cut
Z cut like flourish again I don't know the name
The spring
The dribble
Fan
One handed fan
Waterfall
Flicker kind of

Other than that I don't know any and would really like to be able to perform some flourishes that do look cool and would possibly impress some people, so what should I do? By the way I have Genesis V1 but am a bit slow with some of them.

Thanks

I would suggest Sybling on dan and dave (http://shop.dananddave.com/cardistry/sybling.html) its a really easy false cut I like to do. also gyroscope is good flourish through it is a bit more difficult. (http://shop.dananddave.com/cardistry/gyroscope.html) theyre both also really inexpensive

I don't want to come across as cheap or anything but I would prefer it if they were free, but thank you though

definitely learn the sybil cut. a ton of flourishes are based off of it and its really easy.

 

[lax047]

then I would suggest looking on the wire

I have and have found that they are difficult, I would just like a name of a flourish and I'm sure I could find it on somewhere like kardistry.com

Not to be rude or anything but when you come as far you came, you kinda have to pay....
Magic is an expensive art and that's what you kind of got to accept I would highly recommend

Genesis V.1 by Andrei Jikh good for beginners, and I can see just looking at what moves you know you still have a few basics move left to learn. Also by buying this Dvd you might find some tips on the flourishes you know helpful I know I did.

But as I mentioned magic will cost you money, not saying that to scare you off but if you want to take your flourishing to the next level that what it takes.

By the way: You can find Genesis V.1 and V.2 in magic tricks on this website

Hope this helped

Hey mate,

Joker is right - to learn some of the best material, it's going to cost some money. Like with any art or field of endeavor, you often need to be willing to invest in yourself if you're going to become great at it. But, ultimately, it's your choice - you don't have to buy anything if you don't want to, it can just make things a good deal easier.

My personal recommendation for if you're starting out, and want to learn good variety, is Xtreme Beginnerz Vol. 1 by De'vo. It has a lot of fantastic material and tips on it.

Best,
Vince

Hi,

I know where the things are I've been doing magic for a year and a half, I'm happy with how I'm doing with magic its just cardistry/flourishing. I got Genesis for Christmas, so have been try to work my way through it but have mainly been practicing the basics. At the end of the day I would just really like to know some flourishes that people recommend not necessarily where I can get them.

Thanks

That's hardly everything you will or should know in the field of manipulation, but it's a few solid basics off the top of my head. Of course, don't feel pressured to learn anything you don't want to!

The best sources for most of the above are Xtreme Beginnerz Vol. 1, The Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes, Cradle to Grave, The System and Generation Extreme (teaching is terrible on this one, bear in mind). I don't own Genesis V1 or V2, so I can't comment on them, but I've heard they're good.

Best,
Vince
