Where is the best start for cardistry? I know how to spring, swivel, and pirouette among other stuff. So far I've learned a few moves from Fontaine Cards but I feel like I completely skipped the basics.

There really isn't exactly a 'starting point'.

You know some moves, and that's good:
How about:
Basic knowledge of grips
Charlier cut
Revolution cut (and their different variations)
Scissor cut
Fan variations (optional, but I'd recommend doing so)

I might have some more in a bit

Everything you need to get started is right here :) :

Covers a LOT of the basics and the instruction is extremely top notch; you will be learning from one of the best and you will learn things correctly, which is important if you want to pick things up rather quickly. When I got into cardistry it gave me a better understanding of the basics and really helped me progress. I highly recommend you check it out!

I recommend http://home.thevirts.com/category/learn/tutorials/
The Virts are experts and Huron is one of the best teachers out there. Flourishes like Flicker and Rev 2 are essential to any flourisher's repertoire. (You might want to start at the grips video even if you know the grips already. There is valuable information on how to transfer grips and whatnot in the video).
P.S. Genesis is amazing if you can afford it then it is probably worth the buy (assuming you really do want to do cardistry).
