Yo! Thought I'd chime in since I shot Mirage with Alex. He graciously showed me some of his other coin work and it's pure sorcery. The great thing about Mirage is it's not limited to what is shown on the trailer. The DVD goes into so much depth and teaches several sequences of further proving...

Definitely a cool topic to discuss, interesting to hear people's thoughts on the subject but then only time will tell. It depends how far cardists will push themselves to gain new ground. It's hard to come to terms with myself but probably true that it won't be next hang out occupation like...

Ha let's do this Apple style... "This. Changes. Everything." In all seriousness, I have not been this excited in a long time. I hope everyone jumps on the bandwagon because it's moving forward at the speed of light. We wanted to do it right. Soon, you will know why it took 4 years in the...

Thank you for sharing. It's nice to be reminded why I love this art so much - it gives us a window of opportunity to express ourselves even in the most darkest times. I hope your friends make it out alright, stay safe.

Thank you for sharing those Will, definitely great quotes to live and entertain by. Shame I missed you at magic live - hopefully next time!

That Pokemon video just made my day. Please make more, this idea has so much potential. Definitely brought me back to the good old days. I'd love to help with the video if necessary or if possible! Great entry video, very "spinny" - I love it.

Genesis v1 has something for everyone - especially for the novice. While the Trilogy's difficulty level is higher, it would be an understatement to say it's easy stuff. If you prefer a higher difficulty level, Genesis v2 has more than enough to keep you busy for a very long time. Either way, you...

The Lionheart sequence is a fun two handed combo that's really dazzling. It hasn't been released yet but will be taught in Genesis VOL3.

That particular display is in my Lionheart sequence which is essentially a really lengthy two handed cut. It also belongs to another move of mine which you can see in the Bicycle 125 Years of History video at 21-23 seconds.

Hey AgentKuo, In your case, try to have the deck much closer to the base of your thumb. Your fingers have to be almost impossibly short for your fingers to not be sticking out when the packet falls unless the deck is too far from your thumb to begin with. You'll notice it will be much more...

My previous statement still remains largely accurate. "Affiliates" is guesswork and an assumption that you cannot make without knowing them on a personal level as to what cardistry means to them and the rest I've addressed. Yes, one can still refer to magic as cardistry but it does not mean they...

Wowza. You completely miss the point in every single post I make, I'm not sure how else to word it. We both agreed cardistry is an acceptable reference and is not incorrect but very outdated. Aside a handful of people who use it for the sake of argument, the term "cardistry" is almost never used...

Flourishing is a different discussion, make a new topic in the forums if you want to discuss that. "Handful", "a lot more", "a lot of people", "few people through youtube" are not exactly convincing phrases to prove your point. Doing this for a decade, I have never personally came across...

You have made several assumptions all of which are incorrect. I had clearly stated it was part of history. Cardistry as magic is not an alternative definition, it is an OUTDATED definition which is not the same as incorrect. My last comment was neither sarcastic nor cynical - it was accurate to...

Hey starthelegend, There are obviously many places to begin your journey. The most comprehensive collection of moves is in the Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes by Jerry Cestkowski and a MUST have. The book is ridiculously huge and will keep you busy for many years to come - it's a great...

There 2 publications and approximately 4 people in this world that refer to cardistry as a primary reference to magic, including yourself - have a good day.

Since you clearly do not listen to reason and are only debating with me for the sake of it, I will utilize my time more wisely elsewhere.

Welcome on board Mr. Borders! Looking forward to seeing and working with you in the near future!

Flourishing to describe the non magical manipulation of playing cards is by far more outdated to describe a standalone art form due to supplemental nature (ie: He picked up the cigarette with a flourish, etc.) but that's a whole different discussion. If "card artistry" to you means any art form...

I'm sorry I still don't understand what you're trying to prove with this point. I don't mean to insult your intelligence but that statement holds about the same amount of validity as if I were to tell you that if books did not exist, those books with references to cardistry as magic wouldn't...
