Card spining on finger tips.

- Start date
That would be good, I can only make it spin for about a second, I could do with some extra advice.
Cheers, Tom

Absolutely! I love that move and can very rarely do it well enough to show off I usually end up throwing the card across the room.
No .. i dont think you should... in the Flourishing community there is a rule of thumb that says "you dont teach moves that you didnt create yourself".... there are several sources for this move out there already .. one source off of the top of my head is Syd Segal's - Gaft Card Magic..
It's also found on the trilogy. Personally, I suck at it, but that's because I haven't worked on it.
It's published in Card Finesse II by Jon Racherbaumer, page 36 under the name Whirl Flourish, to be exact.
It's origin is unclear, though some claim it to have migrated from Japan.

Word on the street says it came from Japan. During a Japanese lecture tour in the 80's, magical genius Michael Weber saw some Japanese youth spinning a card-like object (ticket stub, business card, etc.) on his finger tip.
Weber brought this technology back to the states, and then disseminated it to Europe on another lecture tour a little while later.
It's been published in a couple of spots like:
-Card Finesse by Jon Racherbaumer under the title - "Whirl Flourish", 1992 -- pg. 36-38.
Also in Card College Volume 4 by Roberto Giobbi -- under the title - "Piruette", German Version 1994, English Version 2000 -- pg. 1022.
I love this flourish, and use it on a daily basis!

If you can at least get the card spinning on your finger for a second, that's good! It, like almost every other flourish, is a knack. You just have to keep doing it until it finally clicks. Pay attention to exactly where your fingers are, everytime you do it. This way, everytime you get it wrong you know how not to hold the card.
You can apply this method of being concious on how you hold the cards on every kind of flourish and sleight, it helps alot!

I can get the card on a good spin for about 2 seconds and I have known the trick but not really been able to do it untill today during first period in school I just took it out and started trying it, it clicked and I have been doing it all day and can honestly say I am doing it while I am typing this.
It's also taught on Devo's Extreme Beginners. Thats how I really learned it. It does take just a light touch to perform correctly but I think makes my performance with cards look that much better.
I would have to look watch it again to find out exactly where but it's on there. I believe The Flourishman himself taught it.
OMG
its Lee Asher
and yes, this is a great flourish with one card.
i do it all the time, and if i reveal a card, i half throw/ pirutte the card onto the table, looks great
