This contest was a surprise on many levels, I did not think we were going to get as many submissions as we did considering the starting move is just strange! The one thing I surely did not expect to happen was people turning this into a sybil fight, but it happened! I suppose that is creativity...

A little advice for those who have not submitted or those who may want to resubmit, please do not turn this move into a sybil motion, the point of this contest is to jog your creativity so you can come up with an original move.

To clarify, both the starts utilized the same mechanics, this can either be one handed or two handed as shown in the video.

Inspired by our frequent "create a flourish" contests and Dan and Dave's Prequel concept, tonight we bring you a twist on our usual cardistry adventures. The contest tonight is open to anyone and everyone, but particularly to those with a passion for cardistry. The idea is simple. We start. You...

Yo! First move is called Rain Dance and will be on Vol. 2 of Genesis. The second move is the Paddidle and the final move is a combo utilizing both Thumb Cuts and X-Cuts with a bit of flare to them. The move where the cards dribble and transform to a triangle is not yet named but was inspired by...

Beautiful stuff, love it. The pictures are amazing too. I want me one of each....in every size....of every color.

Hey guys, Genesis V.2 is coming this year FOR SURE. I wish I could tell you all the actual release date but the truth is, no one actually knows for sure. No worries though, once its done, it will be insanity - all over again. -Andrei Jikh

I personally love the new site design, it's brighter, upbeat, sleek.... and best of all - HAPPY! YAY! :o ha Not to mention the fact that it's very user friendly, intuitive, and highly advanced for browsing and locating magic/cardistry tricks and effects. Sentinels feel great, the most...

That was a great run! Thanks to all who participated! This was quite an interesting contest for me for one particular reason. MagicLemonbird (Augustus Chang) submitted an interesting video that had a technique of out jogging two cards - simple, powerful, and versatile. The move had an element of...

It is safe to assume the team grouped it into Cardistry as it is a very "flourishy" color change, perhaps it can go either way. Personally, I don't classify moves into magic or cardistry. Moves are moves, it is the way they are presented and used within the routine that gives the context of its...

There's nothing necessarily wrong with calling a move a "flourish", I was just being picky. However, a great alternative can be "card stunt". Either way, no one person on earth has the authority to set the trend on what something is or should be called. It is the effort and acknowledgement on...

Not to interject in your discussion but I personally stay away from "flourishing" as it is what people like De'vo fought for in the beginning of their career, to separate the pure nature of card manipulation from magic. Establishing its own unique name was the first step. (Whether we agree or...

When I first began my journey into Cardistry, I performed for friends, relatives, family members, etc. I was still nervous - my hands visibly shaking. I couldn't go out on the streets to perform - I was way too nervous to walk the streets of Vegas by myself at the age of 13. I persuaded a...

Alright! That was awesome! Its always a surprise to get 90% of the submissions in the last 10 minutes of the contest but that was great, I had a lot of fun watching your videos - thank you to everyone for participating! Most of the videos were great but there is one that impressed me quite a...

It is Cardistry only but no harm done if a few cool table cuts are included. Keep 'em coming! -Andrei Jikh

Awesome! This is a toughie but the prizes are well worth the effort! -Andrei Jikh

A few weeks ago, Theory11 held an uncut Cardistry video contest that tested your ability to jam for one straight minute - no cuts, no editing, just raw skill with a deck of cards. Following that week's unique and creative contest, we'd like to continue the madness with a false Cardistry...

I can assure you that when first learning this move it may seem like the angles are not practical, but they are about as practical as a t______ palm (which is insanely angle friendly), I would love to tell you what I'm talking about but that borders on exposure. This is an advanced move and...

With all due respect, I think you have beat that horse to death with the same questions that have been answered on numerous occasions. We all experience some form of emotion when creating something. Most of us have passion behind what we do, it is therefore obvious to us that Cardistry is art...

There are a plethora of uncut videos around the internet, one more is not going to prove you otherwise. That sounds like a fairly low generalization of the art -shuffling cards. Makes it seem like moving our bodies in unusual ways, or painting colors on a piece of paper, pretty dull and overly...
