 >:(  #1 As I see this ! Learning to cheat is a form of magic ! False deals ! sleight of hand ! deception ! So on that note ! Lets talk ! Lets start with the second deal ! How much of a breach should you use ? hand angles , etc.

16
How do you all feel about the free PDF's  Books  at Conjuring arts it is.

17
Ya Don same here , I plan to show off and mess with some friends with Mr. Madisons work !  Jason England I think is great at this deception !!! It took me about 3 weeks to burn out a deck of rounders , Don't tell anybody but I flourish and practice cards at work ,  :o
OOps !!!! That guy Shade on Ellusionist nows his stuff also !!! The style is cool and is fun to freak people out !!!!

18
Simple !  Practice it five hundred times in a row , and do not get discouraged ! Go slow ! Speed will pick up in time ! your hands are learning to use differant muscles , There is free hand exersizes on Utube for flourishing! Dan and Dave also have good exersizes, As with De'vo !!!! Take your time and Relax your hands when flourishing , otherwise your hands will tire out !!!!

Practice , over and over , It took me two months to get the dragon wing spread on the dragon flourish down pat, I had to build strength and dexterity but with practice , I still bite at it !!!!!!!! But it's getting better !!!!  Lol !!!!

19
 :D Welp !! got it down,,,,,, time to move on !!!!  Finish the flourish  !!!!  anybody got something better ?????

 Hi Everybody !!!   I've been working on the flourish ( The Dragon, On utube by  EllusionistKent )  I'm haveing trouble getting down the wing sequence from frames 18-20 (fast mode) and 1:12- 1:18 slow mode ,,, Can anybody elaberate on this ???

22
Hi again !!  Don is on the Mark !!! Dexterity ,,, Control !!!   # 1,2,3   Practice !!!!!  Break down the flourishes that you wan't to learn into segments ,,, Get each segment down then incoroerate it all !!!  When I start to feel overwelmed I slow down  for a day or two !!!  For me,, it is just fun ,,, Do not try to tackle the real hard flourishes right off the bat !!!!  Unless you are one of those very talented people, Remember That it is a new muscle control in your hands,, Give it time !!!!  and it all will explode to your favor !!!  Practice till the sun goes down !!!!

23
No way ready to post a video of my stuff !!!  Not that good , at all ,, "Mecka" took me 6 hrs. to get it down with having fun with it ... The Routine of  the scissor cut jump to the revolotion cut while plucking a card from the second packet in the left hand from the lame right is beyond me !!!!  maybe I should stick with the easy stuff,, not the profesional work,, so I do not get discouraged,, what do you think,, We are all not pro's,, These guy's " the twins "  just have the knack. On the scissor cut ??? could you give some advise ? That is ahard cut for many people !!!!!!

24
Thanks Don,, Practicing over four hrs. a day seems to burn out my hands ,, I am 55 yrs old ,, getting good though! I have all the DVD's ,, Im into  SOLO by Michael James ,,,  Strength and stretching,   How far can one go ??? IWO  Flourishing at my age , I used to play the guitar ,

25
Hello again !!  Flourishing talk !!!  Would finger exersizes be involved in this post ??  I have a stress ball bought from ( Golds Gym ) the blue one ,, it is soft, i'll say spongy ,, Has anybody come up with a decent exersize format ???  Mine is , hold the ball in a hand , to start left or right !!!  Mechanics grip on the ball so to speak ,, perform , paradiddles useing alternating fingers, then put , say, first and second finger width wise on the ball and squeese , holding for 3 seconds alternating fingures, Go through both hands and finish with stretching the finger muscles,, pulling back one finger at a time till you feel tension, overtop of the wrist, just dont go nuts on the pull back or you may be hurting the cause,,,  also so for a good stretch is , place two fingers over the oposite hand in position of the lower thumb knuckel and the pinky ,, push open the thumb and the pinkey and stretch the oposite hand fingers,, Wrist burn system with more openness,,,
