It took me a lot of practice, but I love the Deck flip now. I disagree with a lot of the comments here. I find a newer deck is a lot harder to flip than a broken in one. I have also found that you don't need to toss your hand at all (it looks more magical this way too) Here's a couple of...

The revolution cut is a tricky one and it took me a while to get down, but it can be done, even with shorter fingers. Sadly the answer with most flourishing is more practice. As for you deck question, yes! 6 months is way too old. Open a new deck man. I have found it good practice to have 3-5...

I haven't had the chance to play with the box set colored cards, but the original colored series don't feel that great imo. They feel thin and a little flimsy. It makes for great springs, but can make a cut like madonna3 a little more challenging. I also found they don't last very long. They are...

Definitely not for beginners. I can do a one handed shuffle and a clipshift no problem, but this thing feels impossible. I wish he would have talked more in depth about it because I must be missing something. Specifics on grip, positioning and common issues would be really useful since the cut...

I bought NB3 because I loved the look of Nimbus, but I've barely touched the flourish because the prerequisite is so bloody difficult. Is anyone else having issues with this one-handed cut? Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding this move harder to accomplish than a clip shift. Any advice would be...

does he briefly explain the prerequisites in v2 or does he expect you to know them from v1. Something as simple as a slow walkthrough like in the system would be good enough for me.

My question is do you really need Genesis v1 before getting v2? I have been flourishing for about 4 years, and I already know majority of the basics taught on v1 which is why I'm wanting to skip to v2. I obviously don't know Andrei's original moves, but I'm wondering if it's easy enough to...

I had no idea there were so many Ohio magicians on this forum. I'm a regular at the Paper Crane/Penguin lectures. Hopefully I'll see some of you guys there. If not, there is always Magi-Fest

The Trilogy teaches Molecule 4 and shows some variations on molecule 2, however, it is still pretty much taught in slow motion; most flourishes are. I would suggest getting the Trilogy tho. I bought it mainly for the magic, but I got addicted to the flourishes and it was my first flourishing...

Papercuts has a good range from simple to difficult. I'm sure you will find something in there. Plus the extras and interviews are informative as well.

You could try Aladdins. Although they are kinda hard to find too

I disagree with the 5-10 dollar price. The nice thing about an open deck is that you can actually play with it without feeling guilty about opening a $100 deck. Depending on the condition, I would expect you to get at least 20-40 dollars out of it. It's just harder to find someone who is looking...

The marking system is genius on the series A. Not sure if series B is any different, but I suggest squinting at the negative space on the back of the cards ;)

That was smooth. I like it. Is it yours?

It was decent. Some good stuff, and some not so good stuff. Some other angles and better lighting would have been nice. Just some thoughts for next time.

I seem to recall several years ago that T11 announced they were making Kenner's book, "Totally Out of Control" into a DVD. I wonder what happened to this project? It would have covered Sybil since it was published in the book.

In short. Red Mirror goes over how to develop a routine, and covers Helder's 30 min. Magic Castle Routine. The tricks are good, but some of them don't translate well outside the routine. Reflections covers how to develop an effect. Helder goes in depth explaining several ways in which he goes...

You guys should try the Glitch Mob. It's the perfect music to jam too

If I remember correctly, several of the routines on Red Mirror require palming. Helder uses a lot of advanced techniques on the DVD. However this DVD is not meant to give you tricks to go out and perform on the street. Helder shows you his full 30 min. Magic Castle routine, and breaks it down so...

The Clipshift is a difficult move. I have been doing mine for over 4 years, and it took me 6 months just to get the mechanics down. While I love the move and highly recommend anyone learning it, I understand that it is not for everyone. I do not know of any one handed variations that can...
