Hello, everyone!
I really want to delve into the field the XCM/Cardistry as it just looks sooooo amazing! I really want to learn it and I am going to buy material but I would like some suggestions from you guys.
I own the Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes and I am happy with it but some of the eye-candy I see you guys doing, I do not recognize it in my book, so I'm assuming most of you perform material from much different sources. I thought that was surprising because most flourishers praised that book
What I am going to work on in that book are most of the one-handed flourishes and, hopefully, in BOTH hands. But I would also like to learn some 2-handed material from recommended sources as the 2-handed flourishes in that book doesn't really look all that good when compared with your guy's material (EXCEPT the paddlewheel cut).
Now, I'm not going to totally to do away with all of that material in that book. Eventually, I will get to the fan and arm spread sections and the table sections but that's not what I really want to learn right now.
And none of you have to worry about recommending me decks as I've got a ton of decks:
36 1/2 Blue and Red Bicycle's from Costco.
2 Viper's
2 Ghosts (+ Gaff)
2 Black Tiger's
2 Circle-Back and Fan Back BLACK Tally-Ho's
1 Black Bicycle
12 Brown Wynn's, one opened (for sale)
And that's about it.
What I really have my eyes on are:
--- Xtreme Beginnerz
The System - I've heard you've got to execute these flourishes at super-speed for them to look good
--- Lethal - I've heard that most flourishes taught in here are applicable to most other flourishes and that they "flow" well with others.
--- Generation Extreme
--- Trilogy (Flourishes section) - I've heard these we're great.
--- (e)Xtreme Cuts with Keone - I didn't hear many good things about the teaching-mthhods used in that dvd.
--- Jeff McBride's Card Manipulations
I do not know of any books that teaches lots of manipulations and flourishes like TEoPCF.
I also already have fanning powder and I know how to apply it sanely so....
Should I also get some hand-health tools from"
http://www.handhealth.com/
and should I get heavy metal, deck-sized blocks for muscle training like the P.A.D.S.
I thank all of you for reading and advice, for it is much appreciated.
