For anyone still here, I use my tongue and I highly recommend it. You get to taste delicious plastic while still maintaining card positions in your hand!
Thank you for this! I've been getting in to cardistry the past couple of days and just learnt this and a few others, this is the first one that's made me feel like a real life 'cardist' :')
I'm going to give you a legitimate answer since you haven't gotten one yet. Plastic decks are oftentimes frowned upon when doing cardistry, so what you are seeing is probably paper.
I thought this tutorial was great. Just enough info for me. To each their own! I find this particular set of moves fairly easy and am thrilled by watching my own hands, lol!
So am I. Sometimes I can find as many as 49 or even 50 of them! My next goal is 51. My cardistry mentor says that the day I finally find 51 of the cards, she’ll uncuff me and allow me to go upstairs, out of the basement! WooHOOOOOOO!!! 😂😂😂
I’m a noob but I thought a Sybil cut was supposed to leave the deck in the same state at the end as when you begin. It seems like when you cut the 5th packet off you end up putting those cards in a different spot in the deck because of it. Unless I’m missing something.
You heavily underexplaun certain points yet over explain points that you shouldn't. You force people to wait in really uncomfortable hands but don't teach them how to maneuver certain things.
I dislike how long it takes for you to explain a motion. I’m dropping cards as you hold them while explaining for 30 seconds. I’m not as experienced and you can’t expect me to hold them like you. This is probably the 1,000,000 th tutorial I’ve watched and not one has ever described the movements in a quicker fashion EDIT: I learned it eventually so don’t give up! EDIT2: I can do a tutorial on two different ways on my channel if anyone wants (false, not false)
SH860 that’s one of the best comments I’ve ever read on any type of tutorial video. I wish somebody had told me LONG ago about learning new things with the guitar, so it wouldn’t be so hard to UN-learn the bad habit of trying to play new things at full tempo. One bit of instruction I read in a fiction novel from the teacher to his student sums it up perfectly in three words: “Make haste slowly.”
TheCKardist I totally get it - this was the first cardistry cut/flourish I learned, and the tutorial I learned it from is *WAY* longer than this one! But it was a *lot* more thorough, too. He described each and every step, including which direction each hand turns or moves toward, *and* he closed the deck and started from the beginning not only after every step, but sometimes he started over from the beginning 3, 4, or even 5 times...on the same step! I did learn something extra from it, though: a beginner’s hands are most likely nowhere near strong enough to perform more than several minutes at a time until they’ve built up those particular hand muscles. If you’ve been keeping at it, then you’ve been doing this for 3 months by now and your hand muscles should be a lot stronger and have more stamina by now.
