Why is D+M's Glitch under cardistry? I know he brings up the card with a flourish, but as far as I'm concerned, it's card magic.
Thoughts?

Hmmm... I've always wondered.

I actually didn't notice that. But it's stilled tagged as cardistry under the card magic section.
Hm.
Hm.
Again,
I see what your saying but your wasting your time over something trivial when you could be practicing

I'll put in my two cents to this topic, I personally think that XCM and straight magic are two completely different arts. I believe that we should respect those two arts equally. I believe it's possible to combine those two arts to create some really kick ass magic. I believe Daniel Madison's Glicth is a prime example of how to combine those two different art forms to create something truly special.
In my mind (the mind of a magician) I thought that it was some serious kick ass magic. If someone that primarily studies XCM looked at that they would think. That's some kick ass XCM with a magical finish. Even though I consider XCM and magic to be two completely art forms, I still to this day cannot find a single magician that does not do some sort of XCM. I also cannot find a guy that primarily studies XCM that has not at least know a few magic effects. I consider that irony.
Sincerely,
David

I both agree and disagree with what you said.
I agree with you up to the point where you saidI don't consider that irony at all. Chances are, if you do cardistry and are showing off your moves, at one point, at least one person will ask "Do you do any card tricks?" It may not happen every time, but it will happen. That's why I think the cardistry guys should know a few effects. Why disappoint?
Also, magicians usually like a little bit of "awesomeness".
I think magicians should know some basic flourishes like the card spring, fans, spreads, etc. because it shows that you know what you're doing with a deck of cards and you aren't some guy who picked up a magic book in the bargain bin at Barnes & Noble. Both arts compliment each other.
