Beginning Cardistry

wZEnigma · Aug 19, 2009

As someone who is beginning in cardistry but knows basic flourishes (i.e. Charlier cut, fans, springs, dribbles, etc.), what would you recommend? I want to look flashy but I don't want something that's extremely hard. I'm mainly a card magician, but would like to incorporate cardistry into my act.

Hi, welcome to the world of cardistry! I suggest you to check it out INTRODUCTION TO CARDISTRY

Wow. I don't know how I missed that post.

Also, do you have any 1-on-1 recommendations?

D+M usually has some great false cuts taht are flashy so you can put them in a routine.

If you mean cardistry, then the best 1-on-1 would be Andrei Jikh Cardistry101 Volume 1

I know those except for the thumb cut, and I'm practicing that. I know basic flourishes, as I said in the post.

Actually, I just now thought about it, but I can't watch 1-on-1's. Hm...bummer.

If your looking for just simple flashy cuts that can keep the deck in order, or at least a small stack there is quite a few flourishes for free out in world of the internet. Try decknique.net or unitedcardists.net

There is also a few flourishes in Dan and Dave's On Demand section as well as some fanning/manipulation you can check out here// http://store.dananddave.com/flourishes

If you have any other requests of types of flourishes (single card, fans, etc.) post them here or pm me, I can probably give you a hand.
