I only recently found your channel and your videos are helping me a lot! You must have the patience of a Saint to want to slow things down like this for us beginners. I'll bet you're also a great teacher in person because of that patience. Thanks for another great tutorial here.
Thank you for this and all the other tutorials. I am a beginner and your tutorials helping a lot. They are among the best out there. You slow down, you have patience, you take your time to go into the details and give a lot of helpful hints.
I know I'm late on finding this video but I just recently got into cardistry and practiced a bit but always got upset because I could never do anything, even the basics but now I can do a trick or two and now I can do this, it's messy but months ago I couldn't even wrap my mind around doing it. So thank you for making me feel hopeful that I can actually do any type of cardistry if I try enough.
Great tutorial! I already knew this move but you gave really good tips that would have really helped me when I started learning this move. Awesome tutorial!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! There were a few aspects I was struggling with but after watching this I noticed immediate changes and it is so much cleaner now. I couldn't hit that subscribe button fast enough. By the way, I absolutely love your hair lol. Stay safe out there.
Thank you. You and Disturb Reality are the best tutorials for this move. I am going to be in a talent show and take a risk and do this flourish there. You just got a new sub!
I was playing around with the Sybil today and remembered that I learnt it properly thanks to this video, then I made sure I liked and commented to show my gratitude. Merci bien Ekaterina tu fais un tres bon job!
Another great tutorial :)) You could teach any of your go to utility moves. i.e moves used to join other flourishes together. The little spins you covered in the last vid were great...more detail on this would be good. The mechanics of the move are simple, however your hand positions really make it flow. We'd also love to see your take on Lennart Green's Top shot, we only seem to go into full on cardini when we try lol.
Wow I could of used this like 7 years ago. I started cardistry in 08/09 I wanted to learn the Sybil for the Buckeye cut. There was only one tutorial I found, whcih was from another kid using his webcam. Ah youtube has come a long way. Great content from you Ekaterina. Its still great to watch some of your old videos, you have some good performances.
You do tutorials so well! As a female magician myself it is very hard to find tutorials with women holding cars because your hands are small but because of the way you describe the techniques Ekaterina you are wonderful! A thousand hearts I'm not even fully done but I understand clearly and I'm getting better God bless you and God bless Mother Russia
Boom-boom-boom) anyway. It’s a best tutorial. I saw few videos before but after this one I’ve got how to do that and now have no problems with sybil cut. Thanks a lot!
I like to position the pinky middle finger packet in a way it almost lines up with the fingers. Then if you collapse the packets back to the deck drop the first packet slightly diagonally and you'll be left with the pinky-middle packet not fitting in. From that point you can flip it over your left hand index into a one-handed fan display before fanning it in and dropping it. Then take the slightly diagonal packet and rotate it from between the deck to the top using your middle fingers (maybe slight help of the right hand index could prove useful). Then from the top you move it down doing a rev cut and you have a very complex looking variation on the sybil cut :)
Very nice Ekatrina! this is a good one for people who enjoy the 52 card pick up game! ha haa! a good tip for pepes who have the dropseys is to put some elastic bands around your 4 or 5 packets, it helped me loads when I first started with this cut, it does make me laugh when dynamo does his version and says ok I'm going to do the dynamo cut!! he might as well say ok I'm just going to do a false cut that looks pretty 8-) Great tutorial as always
Worth pointing out: Sybil was preceded by Gianni Mattiolo's Illogical Shuffle, which was published in Apocalypse in Nov, 1985. Jay Sankey added the extra strip-out of the 1st and 3rd packets to return the deck to it's original order. But the basic Z-grip should be credited to Mattiolo.
I have an idea. how about once every month or something you do a top 5 magic trick list. your 5 favourite magic tricks of all time. the ones you pick above the rest basically. up to you, your channel XD
Great explanation, however, the one with the 5 "phases" of Sybil Cut where you extend and then setting them together like that, it doesn't become a false cut anymore. (5:31 ~ 6:31)
Really enjoy this tutorial! For some reason I struggled with this for so long. I'm making a cardistry tutorial video on a cut that i say would be for beginners. Mind if I link this or your Z cut video?
Watching other's tutorials made it look hard but watching yours one time made me learn it easily. All that is left is flow and mastery. Subscribed. Thank you! :)
Hi. In the first sybil cut tutorials I've watched from other RU-vidrs, the cuts taught were false cuts. Are all sybil cuts false cuts, or are different variations just for show rather than a false cut? I got confused at the step where you split the cards you held in your middle, ring, and pinky, seeing it took a turn from the other steps the other videos showed.
I am not sure, but isn't the idea of the sybil cut to leave the impression of a cut which actually is a false cut? i.e. after doing the sybil cut, the order of the cards remains the same as before indeed? This version looks super-awesome, but destroys the order, right?
i would just say that you should use an older deck. newer decks are more slick and slippery, and older decks are more inclined to stay in packets and not separate. I use older decks when trying new cuts. I know I'm not Ekat, but those are my two cents. just keep practicing
