    Where are you guys?!?!

    Hit me up when you're in town. We can pop into the Magic Castle and jam. Best, Vince

    New to Cardistry? You've Come to The Right Place!

    To add 2 cents to a years-old thread: yes, Xtreme Beginnerz doesn't teach many two-handed cuts (though the basic motions of Sybil are covered, as are some basic two-handed swing, pivot, flop and turnover cuts), but that's part of the reason it's so useful for beginners. It covers so many...

    New to flourishes

    To compliment and expand upon the basics taught in Genesis V1, I almost always also recommend "Xtreme Beginnerz" by De'vo. It has a very large variety of basic moves, and includes extremely in-depth training on all of the "Major Basics", such as armspreads, springs, dribbles, cuts, fans, card...

    help please!

    Your hands are always going to feel too small at first. Unless you're younger than 9 or 10 years old, in which case you have legitimately very small hands, you should be able to do nearly any move with practice. The issue isn't the size of your hands, it's their flexibility. While your hands...

    I'm new to Flourishinng

    I'd recommend the free basic tutorials mentioned above in addition to the Xtreme Beginnerz DVD by De'vo. Best, Vince

    SIGNATURE by me

    I like it, man. It has some great potential applications, and the trick you used to illustrate it was pretty clean. Best, Vince

    Virt Tribute

    You're pretty smooth mate, good job. For the sake of upping the ante on your video production, have a look at the stickied thread in this forum, "How to Improve Your Videos Overnight". It has some great tips that anyone can use to take their videos to a new level. Best, Vince

    Erdnase vs. The cardists

    No approach is more "correct" than any other - this is a quality inherent in and vital to any art. As above, it is entirely dependent on your chosen character and presentation. Some will be suited to the addition of flourishes. Some will not. That comes down to the decision of the performer...

    In need of an experienced cardist!

    I've been in the game a good while, and am happy to help you out. Hit me up if you'd like to talk. Best, Vince

    2 Hand Cut Putting Cards Into Box

    As above, it sounds like Cradle to Grave by De'vo. He's got a DVD out teaching the sequence and several other pretty solid moves. You can find it here: http://www.xtremehandz.com/cradle-to-grave-dvd-by-devo/ Best, Vince

    Is this ethical?

    As long as they are original effects, there's no reason you couldn't teach them. The only issue most people have is when magicians teach other people's effects without their permission. If you're only teaching your own material, and being sure to credit for any sleights you use by other...

    Taking my cardistry to the "next level"

    Unless your hands are the size of a small child's, most moves are possible with practice, even if they are more difficult. Lee Asher is a perfect example of this. Look him up - his hands are like little baby hands - but he can pull off moves as well as anyone. But yes, moves like the thumb...

    Taking my cardistry to the "next level"

    I would recommend avoiding getting too "cut-heavy". Millions of two-handed cuts seem to be the norm nowadays, but there is a lot more variety out there. Xtreme Beginnerz by De'vo is one of my top recommendations for anyone, as it builds a fantastic foundation of material vital to any...

    [aris]

    Hey Pav, I've got a few comments: 1. Your opener was a little unclean with cards getting stuck behind. It's worth it to do multiple takes to make sure that you get a perfect, clean block of cards sliding out of the deck. 2. With several of your moves the packets would often get a bit...

    Wall-e

    This should be in the "Cardistry/Flourishing" section, mate. :) You can shoot a PM to a forum mod to move it for you. I can't, since my mod powers only extend to the Cardistry/Flourishing section. Best, Vince

    I'm performing live

    Hey folks, For anyone in the SoCal area who wants to see a killer show (and may have an inner nerd), I'm singing and performing a card handling set in Cabaret Awesome's "Gamer Show" taking place at Vitello's Jazz and Supper Club in North Hollywood. Details are on the event page here...

    What do you do outside of magic?

    Haha, I love it! Find me if we're ever at a con at the same time, I'm always down to jam! Best, Vince

    Is This New

    Generally speaking, it's not original. While I cannot guarantee that someone has combined those exact moves in that exact way, it is a sequence that combines motions that have been used hundreds of times, and in very similar ways to this. I'll also give the same advice as before, in that you...

    Is This New

    The short answer is yes, this already exists. It is essentially a dribble pass / riffle pass. However, your finger position is less effective than the original version, as it does not conceal the move. Now, I understand that your intention not to conceal anything may be because you are using...
