90 minutes of content, including ten unique flourishes, four bonus moves, and multiple special features.

It’s 52 against one. Beat the odds. Discover Solo.

It all started in 2008 when Michael James began to develop card flourishes. In a world that is overflowing with extra long dribbles and unnatural geometric displays, Michael favors a classic approach where fluid and expressive motions are top priority in a card flourish. That is what you’ll find in Solo: Ten unique flourishes that demonstrate smoothness and articulation above anything else.

One of the most comprehensive cardistry projects ever produced.

A production that started nearly eight months ago has in fact been in the works for four years. Michael's style is inspired by card mavericks Brian Tudor, the Buck Twins, and Kevin Ho. These aren’t cuts you’re going to learn and forget in a day. Each cut is vastly different from the other, giving you a diverse collection that will broaden your arsenal.

Solo is divided into three categories: Signature Flourishes, Bonus Collection, and Special Features. It contains over 90 minutes of cardistry training.

In the Signature Flourishes section, you'll find ten unique flourishes: Arriflex, Ekklesia, Collective, Elysium, Twistor, Tidalwave, Reich, Reinvention, Mysterium, and Zero. Nine of the flourishes are two-handed cuts and one flourish is a single card flourish. Each flourish includes an introduction, performance, verbal explanation, and slow movement performance.

The Bonus Collection includes four bonus moves: Upload, Skydive, Whirlpool, and Elite. These are short, simple flourishes designed to perform on the fly. Each move contains a performance, overview, and verbal explanation.

We made a conscious effort to include as much special features as possible. What's included: Original Trailer, Seamless Motion, Jikh and James, Rediscover Identity, Solo Outtakes, Interview with Michael James, and Credits with anamorphic footage.

What about Project One?

Michael published some of his ideas in an EP-like production called Project One. While he retained some of the cuts and ideas from Project One, you’re going to find a lot of new cuts and concepts that are exclusive to Solo. Overall, it’s a completely new and fresh experience.

There are especially great moves in this one. The explanations are at a good pace and easy to understand. It gave me great ideas and allowed for me to build on my own moves. The moves are definitely great for all types of Cardists and should be in your collection of moves.

Great bundle. The moves are fantastic, and very well thought off. It’s also great how you can open a menu and select the tutorial instead of having to skip through one massive video. Most of the moves will take a lot of practice, but certainly worth it. Recommend for intermediate - advanced cardists. 10/10.

I can't say anything new that other people haven't said. It is the best DVD on cardistry that I have bought to date. Unlike a lot of DVDs you can learn the flourishes quickly and easily due to the fantastic explanations. 10/10, a must buy.

Simply amazing, i purchased this three days ago and since then some of the moves from this project have become go-to moves for me. I especially love Arriflex. There's something for everyone on this DVD; I cannot recommend it enough.

A must have for any aspiring cardist. Pretty difficult but easily manageable for any experience flourisher. The teaching is top notch and has very comprehensive verbal tutorials and easy to follow over the shoulder slow motion performances. If you haven't seen the flourishes, you can find the performances on YouTube to see just how good they are. Definitely a 5/5.

I LOVE this dvd. The explanation is followable, and good. The moves themselves are beautiful, and all of them are really fun to mess around with. Alot of the parts of the flourishes is usable in other flourishes aswell. A really inspirational dvd.

Solo is one of the DVDs like Genesis. It is a gateway to Cardistry. Every time you watch it you get a new idea of your style.

Awesome DVD with the smoothest flourishes, with the personal style from Micheal and awesome special features! It's a must buy DVD for your arsenal.

Great dvd, the flourishes are awsome the video is amazing and the explanations are some of the best I have ever seen. But the flourishes are very very hard to do, so not for beginners.

I loved this DVD! I'd say its the best cardistry DVD I've ever come across. It was also taught well and easy to follow along. My favourite move was Ekklesia. If you have been doing cardistry for around 3 or 4 months now, this is the DVD for you!

After watching this DVD, Michael became one of the greatest inspirations for me.

Classy, smooth and flowing flourishes. Great teaching! Better than I expected! My favorites were Collective and Arriflex. It's gonna be a challenge for you if you buy this, but a good challenge. If you love unique flourishes, you should buy this!

MJ has a unique flourishing style, and he definitely helped me smooth out my own flavor of it! Worth the price!

Most certainly one of the best cardistry dvd/projects out as of right now. Simply amazing, a must have for cardistry artists!!

This is a huge challenge, these flourishes will take a lot of practice. But it will be so worth it, these moves are amazing, just amazing. They make you look so skilled and experienced and will have any spectators completely amazed. You will have great self satisfaction after mastering these moves. Teaching is detailed, quality is flawless and the moves are mind blowing. But a warning to anyone considering to buy this, you will have to be quite experienced already with cards and basic card moves. This is an advanced download, so don't be expecting Michael to be teaching one handed cuts! This is no fault on the DVD what so ever, just a warning. One of the best DVD'S on T11, rise to the challenge!

This DVD is packed with lots of amazing flourishes! Michael is one of the best teachers in the industry!

Great quality, instructions, and flourishes. IT IS DEFINITELY CHALLENGING. If you are expecting to grab this DVD and bust out all 10 of these flourishes later that day, unless you are extremely skilled that's not going to happen. But if you want a great challenge and to bring your cardistry up a notch, then grab this DVD.

Maybe one of the best cardistry DVD's out right now. Papercuts from Chris Hestnes is great, but it doesn't teach it nearly as well as Solo. The talking makes it a lot more easier to learn and follow with. Dan and Dave's Trilogy and The System are legendary and one of a kind, but this DVD has 10 completely modern flourishes, that are flashy and nice. Yes, this DVD is difficult but if you're a hardcore flourisher, get this. If you're not, still get this. It's amazing just to watch these flourishes in slow motion and fast. Overall, I think this is one of the best purchase I've made from theory11. Like, no joke. I think this is the best product on here.

I didn't know much about Michael James before this DVD but man am I glad I discovered him. He is a fantastic flourisher who's skill level I put up there with the Buck twins. The teaching on the DVD is great and there are some fantastic flourishes in here. This is not for beginner however, you should make sure you have a decent understanding behind flourishing before purchasing.

Solo is everything to be expected from Michael James and more. This DVD teaches all of the flourishes well and that makes it easy to follow. The bonus moves are also very good and easy to learn. To anyone who is into cardistry and looking for a challenge, you should definitely buy this DVD. Good Job Michael James!

Great flourishes and good deal of variety in the DVD. These are well explained and many of the moves can be used to to further elaborate your own flourishes. Indeed, this is AMAZING!
