You do know Trashmanf frequents these forums too right?

Can we just make the word YouTube an automatic ban on these forums? If there is one more thread like this I will explode. Just forget about YouTube, gees.

Sometimes when I practice something that hurts like the one handed shuffle, learning that hurt. LePaul hurt too, but totally worth it, it's so fun :) There have been numerous times, but all worth it :D

Trashman, his first paragraph was a quote of my initial post, if that helps your confusion.

Not really my cup of tea, then again I'm not really a fan of custom decks. A good attempt however, I would point out the reasons I don't like them but most of the time my reasons are a number of small things that just seem like nitpicking so I'll just keep quiet :)

I essentially learn all of my one handed cuts while surfing the internet. The only downside is I am shocking at them in my left hand because I just can't get balanced practice in both hands. I'm not a big fan of double handed work anyway so it's not really a problem.

Bryan, I do not consider the "'exclusive elite' I metntioned to be that actual 'elite' members of the community. It is more the vibe given by those that do flourishing as a way to show how much better they are than someone else because they have discovered some rare new hobby/art. I have...

The masked magician was awesome, I remember watching him back when I was a youngin. I always saw people like Jeff McBride do these amazing things, but it was actually getting to see how things worked that actually tweaked my interest in magic.

I do not expect everyone to be all rainbows and bunnies and say things are amazing when they aren't. You are right in that the "I thought it looked good" comments are useless, but at least they are encouraging. Comments like "wow that was the worst video I have ever seen" is not constructive in...

Just to clarify, I don't expect everyone to start sharing their signature moves and things everyone has their 'trade secrets'. It's more about the community being more open and helpful, encouraging new ideas and concepts, discussing what makes flourishing unique. Cerca Trova has attempted to fix...

One of the main reasons I got into Flourishing in the first place and moved away from magic is because the online magic community was basically a bunch of arrogant ignorant morons who spent more time worrying about YouTube exposure than what they performed and because of their almighty "NO...

I generally leave my flourishing to be more spontaneoud than a grueling training regime. I'll jsut be listening to some music, pick up a deck and just chill out for an hour or two. Just today I invented a nice cut/display thing, nothing fancy, but it's my first thing that isn't someone elses...

I've never laughed so much at a thread... I must be going insane.

I think most magicians/flourishers carry cards everywhere, it pretty much comes with the territory. If it's just a casual hobby, you generally pick up something different, if you get into magic/flourishing, then you really like it enough to never put cards down.

Might be cool even as a 1 on 1 bonus or something, or maybe even something to think of adding as extra features on the DVD's that they do release? Didn't really think of Theroy 11 making it per se, more that it was a random idea I had that would be cool.

I don't really see how there can be a new way to stop your pulse, there are either the danderous methods, or the psychological methods, there isn't really any other way to do it. It this really is some totally new method, I will be thoroughly impressed. I won't hold my breath though.

I'm sure when they are out getting footage for their DVD's that they occasionally run into people taht aren't so nice. I know on Greed by Daniel Garcia it has some footage of people rejecting and heckling him and it was really neat to watch how Danny handled it, that's what got me thinking it'd...

I used to gamble during maths class, those were good times. I used to get in trouble if I were playing with them during class and the teacher actually taught things, but around the school no one cared.

I'm not talking about the DVD by Brian Tudor, but was thinking that maybe it'd be a nice idea to have a DVD on how to deal with Hecklers. I know that Hecklers are annoying but they are an unavoidable part of magic and I think that some professional advice rather than "Make fun of them" would be...

Is it just me or does the trick seem totally obvious? If it's done the way I think it is, then it really is very very simple and can be done with any card. I don't really think it could be done any other way unless you made it really complicated.
