    I think the most important “flourish”, for me, is just mixing in a thorough, mind-boggling false cut. It helps in so many ways. It gives the spectator a sense that you really messed/mixed up the deck, yet it helps you for so many tricks and effects. Just an opinion.

    Hey Alex, just wanted to say thank you for your guidance not only in UA-cam but via The Blue Crown....I work with vulnerable children and during lockdown I figured I would spend some time learning card magic to help them engage as these kids have been through the most traumatic stuff imaginable and by using a few bits i've learned from you it's helped a lot in getting the children i work with to engage....so again from the heart bro....thank you

    I realized I wasn't subscribed after watching all your vids for the past year. You have the best tutorials for taking a beginner to the next level. I have improved greatly and take your advice to heart. Even though I'm just a hobbiest magician the card flourishes and professional advice you give (like no longer asking people to take a card) goes a long way for me. You deserve all the success you find.

    I love doing moves such as the hotshot cut just for fun, but whether or not I use fancy flourishes in my performance depends on the situation. If it is for my family or close friends who already know that I have some amount of skill with a deck of cards, then I have no problem doing some flourishes throughout the performance. However, if I am performing for someone I've never met or don't know well, I don't do anything fancy, in fact I act as though I really don't know what I am doing, and will even drop a card or two while shuffling to give the impression that I am not skilled with playing cards, which lowers their guard, and allows me to do riskier moves because I know that they aren't expecting anything good from me. Then I can really blow their minds with my magic. If I do any fancy flourishes for them, then they will think of me as someone with incredible skill and control with a deck, and are going to look at what I'm doing much closer. I honestly have no problem with flourishes in a performance, but it's just not my style personally.

    @jschiek8054 2 роки тому

    Lately, I’ve been subscribing more to Daniel Madison’s Soap Theory (or Dirty Ba$tard Theory) and the idea that the more ordinary you appear as a performer, both in how you look and how you comport yourself with a deck of cards, the greater the illusion that what you’re doing is real magic. Flourishes are great, and I still practice them all the time (mostly as a meditative or fidgety thing to do when my ADHD kicks into high gear) but even if a participant can’t explain precisely how you did an effect, if they see that you’re better than average, or even amazing at handling a deck of cards, they can and will safely assume that that same flashy skill was used to fool them, instead of blocking off more false solutions to lead them down the Magic Way, as Juan Tamariz describes it. Then again, maybe your character benefits from a number of skillful flourishes. If you present yourself as some kind of card shark, flourishes may be integral into establishing credibility. All I know is, I’ve done a lot of them in my time, I’ve enjoyed the wide eyed looks and applause, and now I’m doing things a bit differently. To each their own.

  • @samehtricks4728
    @samehtricks4728 3 роки тому

    alex you are one of my raw model in card magic
    my humble opinion as a beginer using this kind of advanced technics should be used in a moderate way which means florish should be used inside the trick you are playing without saying here is coming of florish technique which will leave the audience effected about how you get their card and how you master the deck at your hands
    hope to be in your level one day and always wish for you the best keep it up body to.learn more from you 😍

    If i had only one Flourish while performing Card magic, It would be a spring because i use it for palming of a Card.

    • @pungenttoad7324
      @pungenttoad7324 4 роки тому +1

      The palming off of a spring isn’t very useful and is super fishy especially around people that know anything about cards at all I stopped doing it almost 15 years ago there’s much better palms. And for flourishes a one handed fan is much more useful for steals, controls, palms, and positioning compared to the like 3 things I know of that can be done with a spring I have over a dozen thingngs that can be done with a one handed smear fan.

    If I could only do one flourish it would probably be the sybil cut because its a nice looking false cut that is pretty easy to perform yet seems very complex when done properly or i would just pick the werm for the nice display also because you can have a card face up as the middle card for the werm which is a nice reveal

    @chrismurray2978 4 роки тому

    Alex,I realised after commenting on one of your previous vids(one handed shuffle) that I was about two years late by the time I'd watched it.I would like to reiterate my earlier remarks about trying to figure out why I was having so much trouble with even the most basic of card moves(two handed riffle shuffle,scissor cut, and revolution cut.when tousaud it took you only 10hours to learn the basics of the move and that it wouldn't take weeks or months, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.I'm a dedicated amateur who just loves the simple beauty of sleight card moves,and am mystified as to why I have so much trouble with simple stuff.Here again I know my hands are not to small, and I'm not stupid or lazy....is there such a thing as a person who will never be able to enjoy doing these moves?I try very hard and long, but after months still fail miserably(see my earlier rants on this subject)Have you ever seen this kind of ineptitude before?(I don't feel that blaming the card quality is the answer, but I don't know what is.If you have any thoughts on this matter I would love to hear from you(I don't have instagram or Facebook so emails or UA-cam are my only way of accessing internet on my old iPhone and then chrome-casting to my tvI keep thinking I must be missing something. Since I don't need to perform professionally, and I live in New Zealand,I use only cash and can't easily find good quality cards, but I would be SO happy to be just one of those people who could achieve skills by hard work--this doesn't seem to work for me.Love watching your stuff Alex,and always enjoy your videos on UA-cam but get a bit down when you say things like "oh, anyone can do this move with a bit of practice" I know you're being sincere but it never seems to work for me. Your thoughts if you can be bothered..

    Love this channel a lot... I am now an intermediate magician because of the way Alex breaks stuff down to simpler forms.... but this channel desperately needs a FRIGGIN' INTRO (yo yo yo is not an intro; that's what you can say AFTER the intro.) Please get a good intro Alex. 😎😄😅🥺 Even some music in the start when giving an awesome clip (which you already have) of the performance will do (for example Shin Lim's channel) or like a PROPER intro (for example Spidey Hypnosis's channel). Just a suggestion for your channel. 🤷🏼‍♂️
    Btw, I feel that if there was one flourish that I could do for the rest of my fife, in every trick, it would be WINDCHILL FLOURISH. I feel that flourishes should be done after tricks because it adds to the awesome end effect of the trick and shocks the audience even more.

    You need to bend it because you do it the (unnecessarily) hard way. Try using the middle finger and not the first finger on the opposite side of the thumb. You can use the first finger to stabilize the deck on the short side, when grabbing the top package. This was you won't hurt your fingers. Much easier.

    I think that just for having a deck of cards and showing them something, they´ll think that you are quick with the hands, with or without flourishes. But I also think that if you show yourself as clumsy or that you don´t care so much of the cards (juan tamariz- dani daortiz), they will think that there must be something else apart from being quick with the hands.
