Ok so i know technically this should be in the Cardistry forum section, but i felt this is something that applies to other areas too.
I learnt the pirouette flourish from the Dan and Dave tutorial a couple of months ago and managed to get it to spin well commonly and for a decent length of time. Nothing special but do-able and easy.
The problem i have had with it is this: for some random reason that i do not have any clue to, one day i just completely lost my ability to do the pirouette. Every time i went to spin it with my index finger, i would unwillingly shake my hand forward with it as though that would encourage the spin.
Whats more, i kept trying to raise it into the air for some bizarre reason and got incredibly frustrated with it. So i did the sensible thing and gave it a rest (about a month or two in total without attempting or even thinking about it once.) When i tried it again the other day, the same things happened as before, and i had this strange mental block on it.
It sounds stupid but whenever i attempt it my hand has a small spasm/jerk like i explained before and i involuntarily raise my hand to encourage the spin. I think this may be incited by the block in my head that says i cant do it anymore, but i dont see why this has happened or how to undo it. No matter how hard or slowly i try to do the pirouette, i find it impossible, when the first week after learning it i did it easily whenever i felt like it.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced this at all with anything in magic and any solutions/ideas they have on it?
Cheers!
