This may sound like a dumb question but does anyone know if people that are double jointed in their fingers can do better and more amazing XCM or is that just a dumb question on my part.

Double Jointed = Better XCMers?

Well, double jointed + skill = awesome in XCM because double jointed people have more dexterity. Which means better possibilities for moves. Good question . The CTG closer was dicovered by a DJ thumb.

I'm double jointed and it makes flourishing a tad easier but honestly, I think between Dan and Dave, they have like 56 fingers
It simply means that your joints (and the surronding muscles, tendons and ligaments) are unusually flexible, allowing you to bend or rotate them in ways that other people find impossible and painful.
Basically, you can bend your joints further than other people can.

Oh, then I'm double jointed for sure, I can do lots of things with my fingers which are quite unusal
So I have very flexible hands. Didn't find any benefits at flourishing, though.

by the way double jointed DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TWO JOINTS!!! It's actually called hypermotility. and BBB already explained it.
ANYWAYS, bieng double jointed I find helps with magic. why? you can get more pressure on the cards if the top joint of your thumb bends back. etc. I love it.

I cant imagine it would hurt flourishing at all. It would create opportunities (depending on whats flexible or not) but it would be up to the flourisher to take advantage of those traits to practice and develope new flourishes tailerd to their asset. Not many people are double jointed so there wouldn't be many people coming up with this type of flourishes.
ugh
my problem is thi, two of my fingers do this the top joint is down and he rest it gets hard and i cant move it it sometimes messes me upb on xcm and magic the fingers stay ther and cant undo it unless i use my other hand

Wait... I thought double jointed is when your left arm is equally strong has your right arm? As in you can both write with both hands and stuff like that...
I never knew De'vo was double jointed.
I just thought he was just INHUMANE with a deck of cards.
