hey all! I was wondering, what was the craziest flourish you've done accidentally? For me it was a:

180 packet flip followed by a one handed waterfall over my other hand.

Now, how did you do this amazing flourish? You may ask. Well...I don;t know! I was trying to have one packet flip over my other arm, and then catch it on the other side. but I let go of it wierd and then it started to flip and spread out, and then it waterfalled after the flip!

I was training for vertigo (which I still can't manage)

And when i kicked the packet it split into two halfs, and I caught both of them in each hand, they both remained perfectly square, face down... Cool moment I must say :D

I was doing a Sybil and a card flew out. I just continued doing it and suddenly the card spun back right into the sybil. =D

Remember to learn from your mistakes, and not to never do them again, but to try to do them again. Failure isn't always something negative, sometime it's a opened door leading to areas you probably weren't going to explore anyway.

You're welcome Dizzi :p

Anyways try using my method to do the waterfall spread!

Right hand grips the deck with middle finger and thumb along the short edges and as it does so, the left hand bevels the deck to the right of the performer.

Now use your ring finger to 'KICK' the deck and twist your hand upwards. Done correctly this will cause the deck to waterfall.

Catch it.

YAY! SIMPLE AS PIE!

Nothing can be further than the truth. I don't believe in mistakes, only learning experiences. Never regret, only learn and move on.

The craziest one i did on accident is when i was practicing arm spreads and i would spread and throw it in the air and catch it in the hand the spread was on. So anyway i did it it went into the air, squared up and flipped around 360 degrees and i caught it. It was awsome.

This is true...

I was doing a sybil when i was ending the cuts, one of the piles fell and i kicked it back up (just like what dan dave did in trilogy). and it ended up at the top of the pack (finished sybil), returning to original order. Not just that, all cards were squared up properly except 2 cards fell out... THE 2 ACES... and when I picked them up I realised there was another ace at the bottom pack. 3 aces production!!! ((I know it's not all 4 aces but i think it's cool haha)

Mine would probably be a mid-air fan I did when I did the 360 deck flip but flicked my wrist diagonally (hard to explain) and the deck did 2 360s and spread in mid-air. I caught it in my other hand and it was like a perfect fan. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. =)

This, by far, is the craziest flourish that I've accidentally done. Back in the day, when I was practicing False Sybil outside in the snow, a neophyte bumped into me, causing a plethora of cards to jump in the air.

Fortunately, I was able to gather numerous cards: my left arm at a 65 degree angle grabbed a packet of cards with my pinkie, ring finger, and thumb, while my middle finger and index finger caught a few clumped cards. (I never thought that I would ever be thankful for cards that clump.)

Moreover, my right hand, which was across my body, but parallel to the ground, was able to front-palm and back-palm several cards. As my fingers met, I was able to bring the cards together, with what I like to call "The Marty Broduer."

Unfortunately, I'm not Neo, and more than 86.538% of my cards were ruined. But, it was worth it.

Cheers,
JTM
