Here's my entry https://instagram.com/p/1Ymw33wOMj/

Great video. Embarrassingly, I only recognized about 5 of the 10 (McBride, Siegfriend & Roy, Criss Angel, Copperfield, Amazing Jonathan)--and that's only because I live in Vegas. It's always good to broaden the horizons!

I won't be able to view it. But I am interested in what people see in pure-cardistry (as opposed to hybrid cardistry and magic) to make it lucrative. I agree that it won't happen in a year, and that it could happen years down the road. I'm trying to keep an open mind about it. But I have...

It's an impressive move--and one of the few one-handed color changes out there. All I know of in the realm of one handed changes is this and Clipshift. I prefer it to Clipshift only because, I think, one can make Mechanics Pass look more natural looking in a performance. I think the trade-off...

I've been working on this move for nearly two months this now and, quite frankly, I can't make the move look good at all. I have had the speed for a good month now. I'm past the point to where it doesn't bust my knuckles and hurt after a few consecutive runs. But I can't make it look as...

I still have my first deck--which is a bit dingy at this point. I've flourished the bejeesus out of my first 3 decks since July of last year

Pretty impressive! Any decks that you want to use, but don't have 4-of-a-kind?

I'd recommend you to to sites like Mobygratis and Soundcloud and find music. As far what TYPE of music? If it was me, I'd find something along the lines of calm ambient music or trip-hop. Nothing with an overbearing beat. And I have asked about music with royalties and acquiring permission...

That looks nice! It's also done on a beach. So much better than windy, windy Las Vegas right now. I thought the only way to do 'Werm' was to use your chin or face. Unless you can do Werm without as many sections. In that case, I might be able to do something with it. I'm not sure if I can...

Yeah, the 'Stay Cool' gimmick, from what I have heard, doesn't hold up for extended use--so you can't 'stay cool' for very long. Sadly, I'm not exactly sure how one would go about engineering a belt change effect.

Look up 'Stay Cool'. Although you'd be using a belt buckle instead of sunglasses. I think you'd need to be changing one of those HUGE rodeo belt buckles to have a large enough focal point, IMO.

I think the hard part about smooth incorporation of cardistry moves in the middle of a routine is making the flourish a relevant addition and not just a superfluous, flashy detractor (unless you're going for the most complicated double lift ever). For example. I do a one-handed 'cutting the...

Nah, not splitting hairs. I'LL split the hairs now. :p Themagi01's comment does leave a bit of an open ended 'what is going on here?'. If the desired end-effect is the spectators positive reaction--and (to me, it seems) that all cardistry IS is the acknowledgement from others to recognize...

For a minute, I thought it was a magic app. But after watching the video, it looks really fun. I would like to know more!

I think he's saying that cardistry is just a good way to get your foot in the door without having to approach someone. Cold calling. He's lumping the term 'trick' together with cardistry trick and magic 'trick' (more correct term would be 'effect') together.

Oh no. It's going to be a WHILE until I finalize everything. I have two flourishes that I'm practicing and are definitely going to be used. I have about 4 others that I'm still debating on for some reason or another. I'm looking at Werm and I have it written down as a potential candidate...

I gave up a while ago in favor of working on other projects. I just need a kickstart.

You could still create a completely exposure-less set and still have the attitude that you're Copperfield-on-the-streets. While I agree that we shouldn't underestimate the laymen. I don't think that NOT using exposed effects is going to solve the problem. Regarding Penn and Tellers performance...

If I've interpreted this correctly. The issue is a need for an attitude change for magicians towards an audience/spectators?
