Hey Everyone!
I hope everyone's having a great year! One of my newer fetishes with cards this year is branching off more from magic and more into XCM. Now, I'm no beginner at flourishing either, but recently I've just been getting bored of the same oldie-but-goodie flourishes that I stand by. Sybil's great, but it seems as if everyone's creating new Sybils, and claiming them for their own. But, unfortunately, another common occurrence this year has been me short on cash. This didn't bother me much anyway, since I never really liked the idea of "buying" flourishes. So I broke out my deck and started messing around with it.
The first thing I learned is that my brain could only allow me to create false cuts (which could be good or bad in some respects), but also clued me in on how many different things you can do with cards that no one has tried yet! So I logged on to YouTube, and it seems as if others have figured this out as well, and have (in some cases) created some astonishing multi packet cuts! And hey, if they can do it, SO CAN YOU!
So here's my challenge: I want YOU to create the most dazzling, original breath-taking eye candy out there and show the big dogs we have cajonas too! The only catch is that your submission MUST BE ORIGINAL! That being said, any skill level is accepted, from beginner to intermediate to freakish. I want to see what YOU have to say, and to do that we need variety. It’s time to unveil that deep dark secret weapon, or maybe just start from scratch on a new cut. Again, any cut or flourish is accepted, be it a unique add on to another move or a completely new concept (although I will pay more attention to those). No tutorials are necessary; just send me your creation.
Take a well edited (so I can appreciate it at its best) video of your original flourish and send your creations to my personal e-mail account at: moneyhun2@hotmail.com, and title it CREATE IT, so I know to open it first thing. In the message, tell me a little bit about the flourish, about yourself and also give me your e-mail address so I can contact you. It’s best if the file’s a QuickTime, but a link to YouTube will be fine if you can’t fit the file on your message.
I will choose 5-7 of the most eye-pleasing flourishes by Monday, 23rd, and announce the winners in a separate forum, but I will also e-mail them personally. The winners will create full and detailed tutorials on their creation so the masses can learn these new concepts and be enriched by them.
This is a call to all aspiring artists (and the aspired ones) to get off there arses and get out of your comfort zone! Don’t be left in the dust. I look foreword to looking over your submissions personally and will report back as soon as I can.
