Practice without the aid of the thumb of the right hand if your having trouble with the finish. The thumb around halfway, sort of moves out of the way as your fanning.

Magic is too boring for me, or at least the digging part. Just digging for all the information I can gather ends up becoming useless anyway cause it won't fit my style or repertoire so what's the point? I decided a long time ago to never buy magic products just because I wanted to know and just...

Not necessarily, you can always invent something that's been printed way before you decided to create it. It's a common occurrence. Better to leave things as discoveries and not inventions.

Attacking? Maybe but I think it's pretty ignorant to cast aside things without first even attempting to try it yourself. Magic can take skill, I wasn't denying that, but unfortunately it doesn't matter how powerful your sleight of hand is when a gimmick or device enables easier methods. A...

I can't see the first part of the reply but hopefully it's showing up in the quote of this post. Well will naive humans continue to care how many people Criss Angel claims to levitate be able to do on countless TV series? It's the same problem, just that one shows up every week for people...

Do some table spreads and see how the cards react. Same thing with fans. After some working in the slipperyness should fade and the cards should start behaving a little bit more like a unit because more of the finish is fading off. Fans, armspreads, springs, aerials all require some kind of...

Ricky Jay, was the record holder for throwing cards long distance for years until Ricky Smith Jr popped up at the turn of the century. Confusing just because of the first name. Poorly presented card manipulation is just that poorly presented card manipulation. Magic presented properly is...

Why would a person want to be pelted with cups and balls when they don't care where the ball is? Why would someone care to be "tricked" and "lied to" and never really be in on the secret? There's a reason why magic will never be in the media like it used to over ten years ago. It's placed in a...

Reminds me of Lee Asher's Fiving Board Double, his method is already available on his site, but that's mainly a one-handed version of accomplishing the feat, not really sure if yours would be exactly the same.

Whatever method will work for you, for the most part the spreading should come from the fingers when most people do, again there's no real method. Even though people learn a set technique for table spreads, ie these fingers here, here, and here. Once you master the basics of the table spread you...

De'vo and Jerry Cestowski have been recognized for doing so, if you'd be able to find footage of such is beyond me, although some of the haters will just shoot it down and say it's impossible and that there is no such footage. Joe Cossari has an entire act of nothing but routined flourishes and...

Cradle to Grave is a great choice, doesn't matter what you really know they DVD provides everything for you anyway. Gives a good amount of variety and impact moves some people are looking for. This DVD is often overlooked since it's the very first DVD from De'vo and more of the later DVD's and...

4-5 days on average doesn't matter what deck it is for me. This is if I use a deck straight without switching it out for practice or performance. I extend usage by separating what decks I use for performances and what decks I use for just practice. Cheap cards for practice, expensive cards for...

If your using a method for table spreads to do an armspread that won't get you anywhere. Xtreme Beginners and the Encyclopedia would be your best bet. Tips: 1. Concentrate on eveness just like a fan, any lopsidedness will throw the whole catch or turnover. 2. Put as much pressure as...

Your cards should never be bending as much as Lepaul Spread, other wise you have some serious issues with just doing a one-handed shuffle, probably grasping the cards too much just to accomplish the waterfall. I've been doing one-handed shuffles awhile now there is no reason for decks to be...

If it's good enough for Houdini it's good enough for me. Nuff said. A person who says to practice flourishes without the EYE of a laymen is better off being a laymen with a deck of cards.

I'm just going to make my team with only half puerto rican half filipinos who work at Hooters and who table dance for charity and children with terminal illness. YEAH, I'M MAKING THAT TEAM.

Just how much frustration of asking around and sitting there staring at the TV could have been avoided if they added something like the English language to the DVD? I'm pretty sure REDUCING the amount of time for you to learn the move and get it down in practice, will allow you to start...

As far as teaching style is concerned, you'd think the purpose of a DVD is supposed to be so other people can do them right? So why not take some TIME to explain everything so you don't get 300 people going, "huh?" I would understand for a performance only DVD, but come on. We're not Tudor...

Don't like how he uses the title of: "King of Cards" Personally I think that title should just be set aside for the Dai Vernon and Houdini. Tudor is a great manipulator who sets himself from the rest somehow, I just don't like this title per se. Hahah... running time of 26 minutes? I'll...
