It's honestly so inspirational to see you struggle with things! It's easy to find people who can do cool things, but it's rare to see the effort it takes to get there, and the frustration of failing over and over until you've finally got it! I love your channel, keep it up
Ain’t that the truth bahaha trying to stretch out everything to make a much money off it as they can. This man decides to work for his money and actually comes up with new idea for each video instead of getting 50 videos from one idea.
If you guys think that's an impressive amount of time for a video, then you should see some editors. Or Lazy Purple who puts in hundreds of hours of work for some videos.
So you watched Michael Vincent, then the Steven Bridges video where Michael Vincent turned up in the background, and then this video where Steven commented? Cool.
Hey Mike, since you've learned how to ride a unicycle and juggle maybe you can put those two skills together and juggle while riding your unicycle. You might want to wear safety gear.
Position the saber so that it slides across a bottle of wine at some point of the run, and opens it. Bonus points if you get any of the wine inside any of the wineglasses.
The thing about Mike that I love is that he's always determined. Like Chris (who I really like and is an inspiration to my magic career), said that it takes some people years. But I bet those people only practice a few days a week and when they do they only practice for a few minutes. Now Mike does learn quick but he also practiced and hour a day at least.
Eh, I've seen a comment that says the same thing, I don't know if you copied, or just got "inspired", but good luck on getting likes. (I was kidding about the " getting likes" part...)
Not only are you learning new skills on a weekly basis, but the quality of your videos is always increasing! Across all of youtube, your content is the best! Much love
I JUST started trying to learn this a couple days ago myself. My hat is off to you, sir! What excellent tenacity you have! And, I absolutely love watching these colaborative vids between Chris and people such as yourself! Keep up the hard work.
Hi. I think that you should try to learn Polyphonic Overtone singing. This is a singing technique where you sing two notes at once. Hope you try this.:)
I think this channel is better than tutorial channels, because Mike is on the same level of learning as you. I think this boosts confidence because you know that other people go through the same hardships.
pixiljuice itme well when you put years of practice into something, you never really forget how to do it. But when you do it for just a couple days, a year later you may have to re learn how to do it all over again. That’s the key difference
Try to do the Spring as perfect as a cardist or magician. You should even be able to do the Spring after months of not doing it. That's called muscle-memory. You need it for EVERY move in cardistry or magic.
Oh you can just feel how grating this must've been. I hate picking up a deck of cards just once. I can hardly imagine 10 days of it. My learn quick suggestion is to learn to roll a kayak!
Love it, Mike! I have a challenge for you and please think about it. Learn to draw a circle. Let me clarify Learn to Draw a perfect circle free hand. I will let you in on a bit of info it is hard! no joke.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eAhfZUZiwSE.html Watch this and tell me 2 min is all it will take. I think that it is right up there with learning to throw a tomahawk it's fun you can do it over and over and it's all about muscle control and repetition.
Great job.... One thing I noticed the relative motion of the cards.... When a card is relaeased and the hand move back at the same speed... the card is like floating in the air....and you catches it with your other hand.... I think the little moment In which we see the cards isolated in mid air... Causes the magical beauty of this flourish....
You just don't quit... I find it so inspiring. I only want to master a few skills not as many as you, but these skills will take a while, If I do this with your mindset I have no doubt I will be pro at them by the time I'm ready to exit the world.
Information for non-magicians and cardists: So what Mike was trying to do, bending them the other way at the start, when done correctly that is a dribble not a spring. 2 different things that often get confused.
Nevertheless Nobody joked about it, people just don’t understand it. It’s not just some kind of a simple irritation, it’s a real obsession over having to do things again and again in the right way until you satisfy your mind. It’s not just about the order of playing cards, it’s a real illness that harms your everyday life.
@@rockwitharms7455 i have ocd but theres many types. Mine isnt the one where everything has to be in order, but in order for me to cope with the intrusive thoughts ocd gives me, i used to have a rouitine and if that got messed up id throw a fit, ik dramatic but that was my coping mechanism. Ocd can come in many forms and isnt just about wanting things clean and in order, so yeah, it is about having to do things a certain way to cope with things. For an example, My mum used to have to walk by a certain rock in a certain way, like on the right of it, otherwise she would panic something bad would happen to her family, since the ocd clings onto the thing youre worring and caring about about and makes you worry more and changes it, hence the obsessive, the compulsive is how you deal with that etc. Just thought id throw this out there! :D a lot of people misunderstand and make jokes about it being like "ooo i like everything being clean so i have ocd" wheras its really not that simple ☺ it really really messes up your life if you have it bad and i can barely go outside without worrying about the things and associating those obsessive things to the places i used to love. i dont think you were making a joke out of it, its just for other people to know that its not very nice to see jokes about disorder. :)
The different variety of OCD also includes different severities of the disorder, so you shouldn't discredit those with lower severity as "making fun of a disorder"
My one note would be on how you're catching the cards. You're doing it with basically a flat, open hand which makes it easy for the cards to spread out & go everywhere. The way you wanna' catch them is by making a sort of cradle with your hand with your pinky & index finger along the short edges, & your thumb, middle, & ring fingers along the long edges which keeps the cards more contained.
I have been slowly learning this move over the last 2 or 3 days. To make picking up cards less of an issue I sit on the carpet when I practice. I’m happy to say I’m not that far off your progress. I can’t wait to impress my nephew with my newly acquired skills!
To be fair, he used just the index like Chris, which is harder than just doing it the way most people do it, which is with index and middle or index, middle amd ring.
Like Mike said, it's more about what you do with your thumb. Whatever fingers you do and don't use doesn't really matter - using more just makes sure it rests easier before you start, but doesn't make the actual springing part easier.
Andrew Sparkes really? I only said what I did because from personal experience, it's much harder for me to control the spring if I'm too busy trying to have control over the pressure I apply. Perhaps I'm just simply doing it wrong then?
zeliumite Oh no, I didn't mean you were doing it 'wrong', I just meant it's relatively unimportant to the actual springing part. Of course a person should use however many fingers feels comfiest to them, my point was any amount of fingers is essentially okay and no specific amount of fingers (or which fingers you use) is inherently better overall, which is what I thought you meant before! A person should just feel out what's best for them, so long as they understand the important springing part comes from the thumb and not the fingers. I personally think just one finger and the thumb looks cleanest, due to 'less parts', but would never say a person using 2, 3 or all 4 was doing it wrong, so long as it looks good!
Such an inspiring guy, my kids will grow up watching your videos. It's one thing to be told you can do anything if you put your mind to it, but seeing what hard work can do is something that can't be portrayed in words
One skill i always really wanted to learn but never found the motivation to do is penspinning^^ C'mon mike, be my inspiration and show me how its done ;)
I’ve known how to do that for a while and do it all the time at school, but I’m not the best at it because I still mess up every now and then but it’s fun to do it in front of my friends and see them try and fail at doing it
You are my inspiration for all time. Whenever someone says "you can't learn everything" than I just look at tham and I says "yeah! You can. There is a person who can learn anything in just matter of hours. " I really love your videos. Keep inspiring us. Love you from india. Awesome video 😊.
Just stumbled upon this and I think this is one of the best things I've seen in a while. Seeing someone just taking the time to practice and learn something new and continue to put in the work in everyday is amazing. Good stuff man, really enjoyed this!
Dude, found your channel from your collab with Chris Ramsay, and I've been binge watching your stuff. Amazing work, I love the energy you bring to your content! Keep it up, man, keep doing what you love!
Dude your channel is awesome I am working on my card flourishes right now like this one and watching some one else learn something helps me alot thank dude your awesome
With no risk, there is no failure. With no failure, there is no learning. Taking risks and failing is fundamental to learning. Risk, fail, repeat. Learn. Much respect for showing the failures, and thereby encouraging the risk. I'll go learn something now.
Hey, Mike you probably won't see this but I wanted to say that you are a fantastic video editor. You are very talented and you have the ability to take something so different and make it into something awesome you can make something so small into something that touches people emotionally and it is spectacular u have great talent and I love your videos you've inspired me and many others to learn new things and I think that's awesome!
I don't do videos, but i think, that you're also learning all the time how to do those vids. I've always liked them while they still seem to get even more enjoyable every time. :)
The key to learn cardistry is ti keep trying and trying. I remember having had thumb cramps because of doing the spring too much. And indeed, School of Cardistry and LotusInHand are awesome channels if you want to learn card flourishes ;-). Now good luck xD
you're like a superhuman , that has the objective to learn all human skills possible , and the government might try to kidnap you and use you as a weapon or somethin'
If you ever come back to cards, you should learn how to do a faro shuffle. Perfectly cut the deck in half, then just by pushing the 2 halves together, interleave every other card. It even has a perfect goal: if you do it 8 times in a row perfectly, the deck is back in the same order you started in!
