hey... does anyone ever get the feeling that at a certain point during the day, your hands just stop working and you like fumble around with cards while trying to flourish... for me, this point in the day is around 9 o'clock at night...

what about everyone else. or is this just me?

Yeah, dude. It happens to me a lot when I practice piano. If I'm playing for too long, they just plain stop working and do all sorts of retarded **** (above and beyond the retarded **** I already do).

It happens in the morning. When I get up, before I eat (if I do) and go to school it comes natural to grab a deck of cards, but I just can't flourish or do any magic trick, I gotta warm up first.

-Yeah, me too.
-Mostly when it's cold or when my hands aren't "feeling" it.

Yeah, I hate it when my hands are cold. It's just when I get up in the morning before I get practicing that it's hard to flourish fast. I usually just do about half an hour- 1hour, then finger excersises, then continue on for the rest of the day.
I also have a question, is the any way to kinda "warm down" after a day of practice so your hands don't feel real achy the next day?

well. warming down is kindof a weird thing to do, but the way i have heard people do it is that they just slow everything down. so try that, it will probably help, and it will get you more fluid with the motions anyway.
