Junior year kicked in, so my activity on here abated, but I'm glad that there's always something being discussed that I can jump back into. I made this video as a sort of "progress report" after learning some cardistry for 9 months (I hail from card magic so I had a rudimentary foundation)...

Awesome moves and editing man!

Ha! Somebody make this their signature. I second the tally ho circle backs. Made the switch from bikes this month and they're perfect.

Hey guys, I just got my scissor cut down this past month (finally!) and thought I never could because of hand size. Here's some troubleshooting tips that may help (they sure helped me): 1. Grip those cards as far away from your thumb as possible. In other words, when in your elevated straddle...

Gasp. Thought I'd just talk about what I'm learning at the moment, L cuts, because all the cool kids are doing it and I'm cliched. Right, so what's your opinion on the L cut? In other words, do you find them necessary, useful to learn, or not? Plus, if you've learned them, how was the...

Magic. 'Nuff said. I think it's cool to see some of these other stories that led someone straight into cardistry, though; this still seems rare to me, and it will probably become less and less rare as time goes on!

Great review! I love seeing those earlier versions in action.

I will definitely try this when I feel bogged down. Interesting stuff!

I'll have to check into Rinzler, I've seen about it elsewhere. Honestly I find it difficult sometimes to see what's current in cardistry. I check back at the forums when I can and I dabble around in the wire, but it's hard to keep up in my opinion. Maybe that's a topic for a new thread.

Gonna put a second on JPillard's recommendation. I took Genesis v1 for granted back when it came out, but now that I am taking cardistry more seriously it has a place of honor on my bookshelf. Thumb cut, scissor cut, and more are taught with the problem of hand size in mind from the get-go. He...

Keep working on that Flicker Brett! I hope you'll learn to love it ;) As for me I'm getting some foundational stuff learned. This past month I finally got my mechanics hand to do a revolution cut and Jikh's bullet card twirl. This month I'm working on Kenner's 5 faces of sybil (which is pretty...

Bicycles are great for practicing in my opinion. I love the look of tally's for performance.

Brett, you've gotten a lot of help and response here, so I'll just chime in that I DO think Flicker is a great beginner move, but I feel your pain in the realm of troubleshooting. I had this sort of issue with Andre Jikh's bullet while other people said it was easy to get the knack for it, and I...

I imagine that an interest that rises out of cardistry for many is card collection. I don't earn much in the realm of cash, and what I do get usually goes toward my college tuition, so it's a rare and exciting experience for me to collect a special new deck of cards. As such, I really prize...

I'm in Lilburn, but don't have much in the realm of expertise. Just wanted to holler back to you fellow GA cardists!

I will just add welcome! I am fairly new but at the same time old, as I shift from magic into cardistry. Love to see that you are passionate and jumping into learning!

I'm with ya Duncan. I still hold a small partiality to magic (like you said, most of us started there) but right now I am practicing no new effects. Whenever I hold a deck I may be tempted to do a double lift or pass, but then I get back into practicing some knuckle-busting cuts! Speaking of...

Hi all. I have a feeling this is very likely to be an old topic already broached; if so it won't hurt my feelings to close the thread and redirect me to another one, but I had the urge to ask this question here: what are some must-learn flourishes for beginner cardists? Looking for any and...

Thanks Brett. I definitely think they're a good addition to a deck collection. Haha, I didn't think about its use in spades! That's one of my stubborn constants; I stand behind getting identical jokers in any deck

Hey everyone. I'm not as new to the forums as the user implies; used to be on here as markefferent. I’m doing a few deck reviews this summer, and I wanted to share them here for any interested. This is a not a new deck, but after seeing it in Barnes&Noble I wanted to review the Silver Steampunk...
