theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards

Saturday Night Contest - Roundtable :: Andrei Jikh

Do you do anything day-to-day other than Cardistry and stuff pertaining to cards (eg. Job, School, etc)? Is there anything else you have a passion for?

And/Or

How does it make you feel, knowing you’ve inspired many people to get into Cardistry?
 
1. How does deck quality effect quality effect cardistry? I.e, do you think there are only a handful of decks that are good enough for cardistry, or will a $2 Standard deck be sufficient? What's your favorite deck, and if it's not currently being produced, how many of them do you have?

2. Besides practice, what is the most important thing to developing cardistry skills? Deck choice, starting point (Genesis vol1, The System, theCuso, etc), having a mentor, or something else?
 
How do you incorporate cardistry and flourishes into magic effects? Or did you completely give up magic and put all your focus on cardistry and flourishes?

Cardistry seems to be the most anti social art form with cards, One that doesn't touch base with a spectator on a personal level like magic does. Being one who is behind Cardistry downloads/products such as Genesis Vol 1, 2, B4, Backpack cut..etc.. Why do you think someone who does magic (me) should learn Cardistry and hone and perfect it such as yourself?
