    What do you think of my video?

    I will be sure to give that a try. I noticed that recently I haven't pushed myself like I used to. If I try and learn something new which I find hard, I just return back to my old flourishes. I'm learning nothing new that way! It is hard though to practise new things which are difficult, but I...

    What do you think of my video?

    Heyya. I've been doing flourishing for 2 years now. Yesterday I got very bored, so I filmed this video. I often feel after two years I should be better than this, but I seem to have hit a wall where I can't improve, whatever I try. Anyway, what do you think? I know some of the moves look...

    Card manipulation and guitar.

    I play guitar, and almost all the time play with using finger picking. I can't remember how good I was at finger picking before I took up cards, but I imagine the control I have over the strings does have some effect on my skill with cards. Placing my fingers in awkward positions while playing...

    You know you're a card artist when...

    -You do the Jones Change routine with any card shaped object. -People understand why I don't want them to use my deck of cards for card games.

    Why do you spend your life doing magic/cardistry?

    I know what you mean. But I think most people would agree that magic hasn't got control of their whole life, they just really enjoy doing it. I suppose by saying that magic is their life, they mean it metaphorically. But I totally agree - magic is something that coincides with your life, but...

    Good ariel flourishes

    Hey. I'm looking for some flourishes which include an ariel display, where a card spends sometime in the air for a small amount of time. InFlight by Daniel Madison is an example. I just think these kinds of flourishes look really nice, but the only flourish that I know with an ariel part in...

    Why do you spend your life doing magic/cardistry?

    Hey. September last year, a friend showed me a simple magic trick, which left me speechless. For the life of me I couldn't work out how he had done it; the only explanation I had was that he has amazing slight of hand, which would be almost impossible... He didn't, there was barely any skill...

    Single card control

    Hey. I'm looking for a good method to control a card to the top of the deck. I'll try my best not to reveal anything while asking what I need. At the moment I use a double underpass to control a selected card to do the top of the deck - which is brilliant. But, I want something now which is a...

    What's your main street magic style card trick?

    Thanks for the pointers :p And yea, I totally agree with you. DL are powerful, and if I developed my character I could probably improve my reactions a lot. I've been in card magic around 7 months now I think, and now I've started to seriously think about the patter of my tricks. Although, I'm...

    What's your main street magic style card trick?

    Yea, I find card to mouth is a good trick. I use it from time to time, and just like you, I find it a great closer for ambitious card. These are two rountines which I can work quite well now, but I am looking to learn some other things. My problem with hand to mouth on it's own is it is a very...

    What's your main street magic style card trick?

    Hey. I'm having the trouble of wondering what would be the best card trick(s) for me to learn, as at the moment I believe my collection of tricks has gone a bit stale. I don't really have any hard hitting tricks; just the convention double lifts. So, I was wondering - if somebody comes up...

    What do you guys do with used cards?

    I got into the habit of burning old decks. Old bike cards really get on my nerves, so everytime there is a fire to hand, my old cards get used as fuel :) Their very good fun to watch burn.

    Help finding these flourishes.

    Hey. Just watched a video from the 2010 Blackpool convention, and decided I had to learn some of the flourishes in the video - there much better than anything I've learned. (I'm bored of molecule cuts and the Jackson 5..) The link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO6tzhAUzcQ What's...

    I got bored, and made this.

    Yea, I totally agree. Putting a video such as mine on a site full of experienced flourisher's is a double edged sword. I'll get slated, but I'll also get people telling me that what I do is a good start; which I'm really grateful for. I guess both of the responses cancel themselves out, I'll...

    I got bored, and made this.

    Thanks :) Sadly I'm from the UK, and have never gone to Hong Kong. My brother got it for me when he travelled to Asia.

    I got bored, and made this.

    Yea, It wasn't made to be ground breaking. I never intended on sharing it :P But yea, I was just testing things out to see what comes out on a video good, and what doesn't. Although, you'll have to explain the 'the cheap cam trick vanish'. What part of the video was this? :s And yea, they...
