We just started shooting with Michael Herp for his debut cardistry DVD entitled SOLO. SOLO is a collection of beautiful, organic card flourishes from the newest theory11 artist. You can see Michael and Calen Morelli taking a break from production and having a flourish-off HERE.

Maybe some of you have never heard of Michael. You might not have seen his work. Tonight's your chance to get to know him a lot better.

Tonight, you have the opportunity to ask up to 3 questions for him to answer live in a podcast later this evening. It can be about how he got started in Cardistry, his influences, his motivations, and of course - SOLO. You name it. Remember, only 3 questions per member!

Submit your questions in response to THIS forum thread by 11:00pm EST. After 11, we will record a podcast with Michael answering as many questions as possible. One member will be selected at random to win a deck of Brown Wynn's, as used within the SOLO DVD.

Learn a little, win a lot - very excited to hear your questions and looking forward to a great discussion tonight.

UPDATE :: The podcast has been posted! Listen to it now here.

This is something I've always wanted to ask.

What makes you want to flourish? I guess more specifically - Do you get to perform your flourishes, even semi-regularly, for people other than magicians/card flourishers? Or is it just a fun activity to do in your spare time?

1. As a flourisher, do you have the need to out do other
flourishes created by other cardists you've seen, in the creative process?

2. What is the deck of cards, that gives you the best feeling of handling, fanning, flourishes and magic?

3. How do you feel you have changed the community yourself, how you inspired other people?

Thanks, Michael.

Hello Michael. My questions are:

1) How long does it generally take you to develop a flourish while undergoing your thinking process?
2) How has being a flourisher impacted your every day life?
3) What was the first flourish you ever learned?

when you create a flourish is it usually on accident or do you have in mind what you want to create?

who are your inspirations in flourishing?

what do you hope to accomplish with your skill?

1. Just like Andrei Jikh, did you feel the need to take a break from flourishing for a few months?

2.What quality do you have that separates you from the other flourishers from this generation, or better yet, what does your flourishes have that separates them from today's array of flourishes?

1) Do you do any magic?/ do you incorporate flourishing into magic?
2) Zach said that he saw a video of you doing all the flourishes on the dvd without dropping a card. Do you have a specific practice method on not dropping cards or do you just practice a lot and are that good? (You're kind of a big deal)
3) Do you watch your own videos and think "Holy crap I'm good"? or "Holy crap I'm sexy"?
