Where do I start? Cardistry is far beyond a hobby, it's my passion. I remember when I was 12 and first starting to pick up on it, I was excited about every single deck of cards I owned. I developed a habit of keeping everything, every record of every move and every card. It didn't matter...

Couple months ago, Chris Kenner texts me "Are you going to the show? There's going to be media today". I make it to the show, I bring my girlfriend, my dad, and my friend Alexander Straub. I get to the theatre and I wave to Dan White, Calen Morelli, B. Smith, Blake Vogt, and Patrick Kun. I'm...

Depends on your goal and presentation. If being "magical" or possessing some sort of supernatural ability is the goal, flourishes are probably best left out. If it's strictly for entertainment purposes, I think you can get away with backflips and summersaults. Overall, I think most people...

How important is self reinvention? Did you go through a process to get to where you are today or did you always know which direction you were going?

CK!!! When you created Sybil, did you ever imagine that cardistry would advance to where it is now? Did you ever hope or think that concept would inspire people as much as it has? Also, how often do you personally practice cardistry?

CookYourself, Awesome username. For learning the one handed shuffle, it would be easiest to use a well broken in deck to learn the initial step of dividing the deck in two as the packets won't separate easily. For the faro however, I'd suggest using a deck closer to a new(er) condition, older...

MJ is awesome! He's totally a robot from outer space, I've seen proof - firsthand. No one was supposed to know. He was manufactured with strict guidelines of perfection. I can't wait till everyone sees all the extra features of Solo, they're by FAR my favorite part. I've watched them more than...

Thank you for informing us! The team was aware of the Isolations concept but we were not aware at who developed the bulk of it. If in the case of a group/team effort as you say, it's a grey area and difficult to draw the line. Furthermore, Jaspas had been given credit as per his permission. I...

To quickly chime in, Ekaterina would most likely not consider herself an "XCMer", that's silly. Ultimately, there are no differences in definition between the two terms. They both mean the same thing but the styles are slightly different. On that note, Ekaterina has some amazing moves on Pure...

Great advice Bizau! It goes to show that many different paths could be taken to achieve a successful execution. Bizau's advice is a testament to the fact that there is no set way of doing this technique. In contrast to what works for me and the advice I gave you via private message, Bizau...

To be fair, it does specifically say "Intermediate" ability level on the site, which we believe is an accurate distinction and category for things that aren't TOO technically demanding, but will require practice in order to successfully execute. Starlight, I've sent you a private message with...

I've been wondering the same exact thing for years. I still haven't identified the problem as to why cardists don't perform as often as they tout around that this is a performance art. I can only speak from personal experience and despite the lack of evidence, it is being done. I've performed...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Crazy to think the White Centurions are all gone. I rushed home from the studio yesterday to check how many I had left, unfortunately, not enough. I'm jealous of the lucky few who got their hands on one! If you do not have White Centurions, they are crazy good -...

Hey Rob! That's great work! The fact that you can't feel yourself improving is a good sign. It can be a good thing to take a break every once in a while. When you come back to it, you'll be much better. Instead of practicing the moves you can already do, try expanding your base. Go beyond what...

William Draven knows what he's talking about. Stay positive, stay optimistic, but above all stay REALISTIC. Luck is when hard work and preparation meet opportunity. To increase your luck - keep working and keep working hard. I've been very fortunate to be a fly on the wall listening to Chris...

Thanks for clearing that up JB! It was a tough choice to have made. Thousands of decks destroyed to make one slight adjustment that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Not to mention the fact that it was a subjective aesthetic choice, not necessarily an improvement. Just goes to show how...

90 seconds... that's ridiculous. The cool part is that these first editions will never be printed the same way ever again. Once they're gone, they're gone. We'll be doing multiple editions, but they won't be the exact same.

I think JB has to physically restrain me from uploading pictures of the Monarchs to the internet right about now...

111 will be very lucky.

Awesome show you guys, loved it! Can't wait to see the future episodes. I messaged Zach during the shoot and when Christen asked who I was, I was pretty heart broken. Please... no more upsets like that or you may or may not make me cry. I blame you Zach... I thought you were my friend.
