I think you're right. Maybe we should start individual threads of each cut and have our own explanations and polls as to why that cut SHOULD be learned by a beginner. So that later, we can compile them together into a sticky thread ( as we can't edit anything after 5 minutes) with...

I feel like there could be a few other flourishes that could help a beginner out. I JUST learned a deck flip, I wish someone would have pulled me aside and told me that I should have learned it earlier. I think it's a great flourish for one-hand, as well as a finisher for two-hands, if you so...

i think naked Break would also be tough to forget as well

Agreed. I try to tell people WHY Charlier, Revolution, and scissor cuts are important to learn, instead of just telling them only the cuts and let them figure it out

I've actually been trying to plan and map out a free 'beginners bundle' for the Wire. Stuff is not easy.

Thank you for explaining that! Especially since I, admittedly, don't know either of those flourishes.

What makes the swing and swivel cut as 'must learn' for a beginner?

Good show and good guessing!

Thanks for the quick responses! I think my confusion came out of if it was a utility item based on if ones presentation was different than what it was intended for, or if it was strictly the items you used it with. Like with the rattle box, I'm using a coin instead of a ring, but the...

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that! I don't utilize my decks enough to warrant a Porper, but my deck boxes are wearing a bit thin. This is perfect for the budget minded!

I do have Zone Infinity, actually! Well, my daughter does. I wanted to use it in conjunction with The Alchemist. But the handling of Zone Infinity prevents me from presenting it the way I wanted to. I agree, when performed right (which we are not able to do yet), it's a complete...

I've been in magic for almost a year now and I'm very much into prop magic. One term that I see often is 'utility' or 'utility prop' Now, I just acquired a bevy of Tenyo items and a few of them seem to fall under the 'utility' classification: Namely: a card case, rattle box, and a pea can (or...

Making your own effects, like Ardius said. It's slow. Lots and lots of research. For me, I'm trying to research similar effects and trying to figure if I can create something that hasn't been done by the research of similar effects and methods. As for performing for friends and family. I...

That does help. Thank you. I'm asking because I'm in the process of mapping out a beginners cardistry tutorial for the wire and I'm trying to see what beginner (and public domain) flourishes would be good to add in--especially since I should probably learn Index Cut if I'm going to do this...

I have a question regarding the Index Cut. I personally did not know of the Index Cut until you brought it up to me. Can tou explain why you feel the Index Cut should be in a beginners repertoire. The knly thing I can think of for learning it is to build up to two-handed cuts. Is this...

While I'm not familiar with these moves. I have similar troubles with things like the 'Thumb Cut' and 'Backpack' I would go on YouTube and see if you can locate a tutorial of those specific moves and see if they hold the deck differently or in a way that you would find comfortable, or provide...

I've thought about the same thing about custom playing cards using a 'Card Case' and evolving Pokemon. Maybe check out Makeplayingcards.com or Customplayingcards.com I'm not sure about the prices, as I didn't get far enough in the process. And I know you said you aren't able to draw; get...

Wait until December for the holiday contest and win some contests. I got 1k from the holiday contest last year and managed the win 2 contests (I was also reviewing every free cardistry tutorial until my laptop crashed. Did you know there's enough free cardistry tutorials on the Wire that if...

Considering what I'm willing to pay for my magic stuff, somewhere in the twenties. But it's such a low priority right now--and will stay a low priority until I complete my children's hospital routines.
