I really like these smaller flourish videos. I'm not really interested in crazy cardistry moves but simple little things that look cool are less intimidating to learn.
but you still have to drop the cards a million times (and pick them up) to perfect it... even he's dropping them so I'm not even going to waste my time
If you like cardistry (like I do), i would recommend the Beta One playing cards. They have lasted for ages, but I use them more for practice than performing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r4PzyhCS8Iw.html
Just get used to it homie, I lived in Alabama for 4 years and practiced magic the whole time. Get a deck clip and just make sure to wash your hands. You can't stop the moisture from getting on a deck of cards if you are using it outside, so just use an older deck to practice with if you know it's gonna be exposed for a long time, or you might drop a couple in the dirt.
My most common small fidgety flourish probably is that instant replay Paul Harris move that you did in this video. I'll thumb one card into my right hand, rotate in backwards into my palm and do that move. I'll use it at the end of any trick where you reveal the card and then add an extra rotation on the card to take it from face up to face down on top of the deck. I also like doing it from the deck to the hand and the hand to the deck with two cards at the same time like 52Kards showed on his channel with the trick from David Blaine.
Alex hi, I've been watching you for a long time, I really like the style of how you show flowers and tricks. Everything is clear, smooth and very pleasant to watch. Please give me advice on how and how much to train properly to the same level as you. If you do, thank you very much. I'm from Russia, by the way.
Thank you so much for teaching these, Alex! I’ve been looking for the multiple packet Instant Replay move for awhile now. I love these small card flourishes - nothing too fancy but fancy enough to look amazing and look like you know what you’re doing haha ♥️
You're the Best teacher master Alex . So many magic tutorials In social media , but you are My one of favorite ever. I'm from Philippines 🇵🇭 💪💪👌 Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉🎉🎈🎉🎂🎂
My favorite move to perform is the first flourishy false cut you taught a while back on your trip to cardistry con. I do it all the time everywhere I go
Going with the deck flip idea, I did by accident lol, you have 1 card kind of bent just slightly but do the deck flip and I. The flip 1 half goes left hand other to the main main hand.
Thanks for another great vid. I think use of flourishes as part of a routine are great but as was mentioned in the vid, there will be lots of factors determining the exact frequency and level of skill displayed at any given time. I'm currently happy if I don't drop anything though, even the faintest whiff of a flourish is a bonus
I enjoy all of your videos. I like how I can relate when you keep in clips of dropping cards and a bleep. Keeps me trying when I do the same. I may not catch on to all, but I try everything you produce on this channel.
Hey Alex I subbed your channel from 2 years and I watch you and imagine that sometimes you will give me a heart and literally I just want a heart and I am your biggest fan ever love you man❤️😊
I became a riffle-fan junkie... That's my favorite flourish at the moment... To give myself an excuse to use it, I do sandwich and reversed-card effect reveals with it. It's so satisfactory!
I am more of the camp that says that fancy card manipulations detracts from the entire concept that you are doing "Magic". That said, I really like flourishes.
Ordered 2 packs of the Purple Edition noc with the Double backer. Got the normal ones. Thats disappointing.. Shipping back would be Not Worth from germany..
Yo Alex, is there a way to make green screen cards to edit out of tutorial videos in order to see what your hands are doing behind the deck? Invisible cards so to speak? BTW I dont have any knowledge about how a green screen works really I just thought it would be a cool idea for your tutorials.
Im just starting in card magic, but i noticed that most peolpe are using left hand to do tricks. Is there any reason behind this? I'm right handed and seems easier for me to use right hand. (One issue is if you do Fan in right hand it looks bad). Can anyone advice as i doubt every magician is left hande.
