I picked Uri Geller just to see if anyone had picked Uri Geller. And for my amusement. Then I realised there was a "View Poll Results" link. Aww, snap.

WIthout owning Everythingelse, it seems to me that Flourishing 101 isn't aimed at beginners - rather, it's more like a crash course for intermediates who may have missed out on slightly easier flourishes and don't want to buy a DVD just to learn that one move - so they go over it quickly with...

Andy, First off, I liked it. Having you considered moving your hand while you make the card rise to hide finger movement? Also, closing the deck after inserting the card needs a little bit of work, your left hand does a little dance, then stays there while your right hand hesitates and...

Ben, This may just be my computer screwing up or YouTube not posting the comment yet, but it doesn't show for me. Apologies if the aforementioned is true.

Ellusionist, another popular magic shop. Google it :)

COUGHthewireCOUGH I agree on the crediting reason though. Criticism where criticism is due. Certainly not badmouthing though.

I agree Ben and Sean, with what you guys have been saying. I'd just like to throw out something else too, in terms of spectator involvement - that it doesn't necessarily have to be the spectator handles the cards literally, to count as spectator involvement; nonetheless, this is an important...

You clearly haven't been here very long, or you'd know that the majority of members, and certainly all of the respected members, have more or less general respect for E as a company which sells magic. Disregarding the odd few who join the forums simply to argue (Read: "z0mgz0rz brad suxxx t11...

I like it, actually. Here's a suggestion, after you stick the card in, maybe tilt the deck down a little to hide the depth of the card? And for people who don't read previous pages of threads, it's not ego slip. Nice idea though.

I'm in the middle of watching it now... DoveMagic, my main issue with your vid is that more than half of it takes place either entirely off camera or half off camera, making it very difficult to watch, not to mention annoying and suspicious, though your use of the gaff was good...

lol! That my friend, is brilliant... Kudos...

Two decks of cards which have uniqueness of character beyond any other deck of cards; not Rider Backs, not based on anything else, a design that is elegant. Not particularly classic but something arty, reminiscent of the sophistication one might find at a Lounge Suit-dress code function, brought...

I didn't know a thing about flourishing when I learnt it, but it was Mantis (Scott + Sean on DN). Then I realised I was meant to start off with Charliers and things off XB, Encyclopedia, etc. Oops.

I'd say the same about Scott's design as I did for $OLDIER's:

To be honest (no reflection on your or your designing/editing skills), I'd much prefer the D's, these designs overload the backs and ruin the feel completely, which, in my opinion, most people still don't understand (refer to ClassAct's post in main SM thread). I think that DD have created a...

lol that's rubbish, if you think that's "high class", then yes, the deck clearly is too high class for you. Sophistication in elegance.

Hey, Thanks for your comments as well. I totally understand what you mean by being more visual. Certainly, as Eddie pointed out, my video with patter would help augment the effect. I flourish, but as a personal choice, I don't like combining it with magic, I find that it distracts and is too...

Dude. You summed my feelings up perfectly. I could not have put that better. I agree with what you said about sophistication, at least of that kind, in society today. It's the sort of elegance you see in Georg Jensen shops and what is typically considered "rich" people's domains, but it's not...

He doesn't know anything, he has an opinion, and he now knows yours. Please don't confuse the two. I happen to like the designs, ClassAct made a most in the other thread which summed up my feelings exactly. I still stick by what my stated opinion was in the other thread too, that these cards are...

Me again, I just thought of another, John Carney's Sanverted in Carneycopia; Cuso posted a video of him performing it somewhere if I remember correctly.
