"vipercard" What part of "Only been flourishing a couple of months" is confusing you. . . . I don't see how you can call my moves basic for someone at my stage in cardistry. . . I took the liberty of watching your upload and because it seems to be drowned in effects you can't seem to make most of your moves out, and the ones i could make out (i.e The Werm) i think i done that in my video "Twice". . . . So if thats such a basic move why do you feel the need to have it in your video ? ? . . . It's funny caus i always thought fellow cardists and magicians gave advice and help one another to progress further, how about some constructive criticism from people, or it seems to me this website comment feature has no use whatsoever . . . .

Hi "trashmanf", the werm being in there twice was a mistake on my part, my editing software isn't that great and mistakes are often made during the editing process. None of the video speed was played with at all, all the moves were at the speed i performed them, so i'm sorry if you thought some of my cuts were fast, but that must mean i'm just good at them then . . . Also could you let me know where your upload is on here, i can't seem to find one ? ? ?

hi millsy, i haven't uploaded anything on theory 11 because I am still mad about them destroying decknique. IDK if i will ever upload something to support theory 11's corporate greed-driven enterprise. BUT if you really want to check them out you can find me on youtube, channel name is "trashmanfXCM" also no need to apologize about the speed of the video, I didn't mean that I thought your cuts were fast (i thought they were way slow) I just meant in parts the video seemed a little sped up. I know you didn't do it on purpose, there are a lot of videos lately that look sped up even though it wasn't intended and as I said I believe it's something to do with the compression rate. cheers!

the flourishing was okay... kind of really slow and fumbling... the color changes were WAY too slow between actual changes... I guess I think this video could have showed all the same moves and been a good 40 seconds shorter. why did you do the WERM twice? also some parts of the video looked unnaturally sped up but that's probably an issue with your video compression... anyways you have a lot of practice ahead of you 2/5 from me try to make your videos more entertaining by cutting out the parts where you're just fumbling with the cards in the future.

Thanks BaByCatXD, i think i'm taking that as a compliment. . . Just wanted to say that i love your Felidae Shuffle, i thought it was very unique and brought the overhand shuffle into the 21st century . . .

I found that you handled the cards with a certain confidence...and despite some of your weaknesses with the video...if I had watched this without any info on you, I wouldn't say that you're a beginner :P. Overall, pretty good :)

Thanks xxGOBxxBLUTHxx I love the Hotshot cut move too, i've been using it as a way to reveal a chosen card. Gonna be uploading my first card trick video soon showcasing some of the routines i've put together.

It was kind of repetitive, but I understand you dont have a huge arsenal of moves yet. For only a couple of months, your smoothness is very good. I look forward to your future videos. You may want to tone down the effects, tho. Just a thought. And what else.... Oh - that hotshot catch is a sweet little number.
