52 Pieces of Fun

After two and a half years of procrastination, here is my Cardistry work. After being at college for a while, I knew if I didn't make this, I never would. I did it!

Better be careful, I heard GQ is judging this video for a major style contest. Also, remember this isn't a magic site. YOUR LOOKS ARE KEY! /sarcasm Some people... On topic, I thought it was a great video :)

Did I say I had amazing skill? No. I said Age has nothing to do with skill, and that practice and experience is key. When did I say that I had a lot of experience? Maybe I don't have a lot of time to practice. I guess when I'm 50, and I don't practice, I'll just happen to be amazing by this logic. -Doug

Honestly, dress code aside, nothing in this video really stood out to me. It definitely looks like you need more work on your False Molecule 4 and most of the video was just shuffles. I suppose that if this is for lay, then it is ok but I didn't really like it. The last one was cool in concept though. Overall 3/5.

That last comment was a mistake. It was meant for stovermagic. =P -Doug

Thanks! -Doug

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think this video was anything special either, and I didn't expect it to be as I know I'm not that advanced. This video was only for laymen, but I decided to put it up just for the heck of it. Thanks for being honest. -Doug

Very good. Very graceful. Inspires me to want to try to learn some of this stuff.

Um, how does a ruffled shirt and a nice tie distract you? I see that he could have looked better however he is at home (I assume) since he is not performing outside or anything. Don't give the video a bad rating and a harsh comment when he is looking for comments on his actual cardistry. And maybe you shouldn't comment on how people dress. I used to not be able to wear stuff that Sinful is wearing. Would you insult what I'm wearing?

Sinful15 years ago

Well the reality is that I did want comments about the video as a whole because this video was for laymen. I just decided to put it up here last second after it was all done. Thanks for sticking up for me though because if this weren't for laymen, I would've agreed with you. I was going for showmanship here, so the way I dressed was important. Thanks for the comment though. Appreciated. -Doug

Maybe this is just me, but I am going to have to hit you on your sloppy appearance (and I am not saying your card handling skills, I am saying you). Your shirt is untucked and ruffled which can be done if the shirt isn't white and you are sporting a tie all the way to the collar. It was just too distracting for me.

RediSpades15 years ago

But they looked up to style (because you can pull of the Holister and Jean look just fine if you do it with class). This isn't, in anyway, up to date and well accepted. GQ would probably gouge your eyes out for looking like that. And yes, the way people dress can be very distracting when it comes to performing, or else I wouldn't have been distracted. (PS, all my buds said the same thing about your appearance)

Sinful15 years ago

Gotta say, I thought I looked just dandy. Thanks for your input, but I will have to disagree with you. Plus the majority of cardistry videos I see are people wearing jeans and Hollister shirts doing cardistry for their webcam. So I felt I was just a little more well put together than most. -Doug

Beautiful! I love it how you take your time and let the moments sink in like a magic trick. It is annoying when flourishers go too fast but you go perfect. This is officially the only flourishing video I like. Just great. Keep it up.

Sinful15 years ago

Thanks! I was going for showmanship -Doug

Some nice stuff, indeed! What's the name of the last flourish?

Sinful15 years ago

Thanks renome. Lethal X was the name of the last move. -Doug
