All right, I think my left hand is ready to start doing two handed cardistry work.

I have spent the last year and a half doing flourishes with just my right hand, and it's going to be a bit until I can get the left one up to speed.

I just thought of a goofy two handed flourish, but I lack the dexterity and principles to do so.

What are some good two handed flourishes to begin practicing when first starting out?

Virus by Noel Heath is probably the oddest two handed cut i know. But then again i'm not really a cardist, i just enjoy knowing enough to look skilled with a deck of cards ;)

Disturb Reality's channel was where I first got interested in cardistry. The link I'll leave at the bottom is one of the first two-handed cuts I learned, and I still perform it often today. It looks intimidating at first, but there's really only one tricky part in it that requires a bit of a knack. There are some other pretty cool cuts on his channel if you're interested.

Best of luck!

 
Swing Cuts and swivel cuts were the first two-handed cuts I learned how to do. I recommend mastering those first before moving on to the knacky stuff. Sybil might be a little hard for beginners, so I recommend some in-the-hands false cuts, like the Trinary false cut, some false cuts could work as flourishes. A nice channel to get you started is "School of Cardistry", but some of their grips are incorrect, so do keep that in mind. As for "oddball" flourishes, the WERM is weird especially when you use your chin.

Hope this helped!

Great news! Glad to here your left hand is getting better. Here is a list of some flourishes you can check out.

To start off you'll need to learn the Z-Grip:

I could go on and on but this list should keep you busy.

I'm fairly new to flourishing as well, but the ones that I was able to learn fairly easily and have been working on perfecting over the last few months are sybil, class act, werm and faux. Also, I really enjoy making my own variations to simpler cuts, sybil especially since it's an easy one to add your own twists to and still keep it false.
