Nice man, that was pretty sweet!

The only thing I would suggest, besides practising more of course, is maybe try some different camera angles when filming the flourishes. It is a bit harder to see exactly what you are doing when your right hand blocks the view a little. Other than that, nice work!

i really liked it!!! i do like the slower pace, but just a suggestion, maybe use different paces during some of the longer flourishes. Idk kinda giving each flourish its own rhythm.

Maybe someday soon ill post a vid of some of the flourishes ive learned, but i feel like because i can't do Pandora yet im not "worthy" to post.

EDIT for addition:  btw those massas are SICK.

Oh yeah I know what you mean, I will play around with it. I'm still trying to find my style and yeah I love massas. I can't even do pandora, phase 2 kicks my ass (after tornado and before the molecule) ... but I think not being able to do certain flourishes pushes your creativity even further.

I will play with more angles when I get my camera (hopefully next week) because right now all I have is my laptop.

Good looking flourishing, Santi.  One flaw I caught, and I'm not even an XCMer (yet) - the color change [REDACTED] didn't go off as smoothly as you might have preferred.  [REDACTED].  Just my tuppence, for what it's worth.

[CDXX]

Thanks man but I don't do XCM ... also I don't know if you know but you are not supposed to openly discuss how an effect is done, I personally don't care but there are people that do. Next time you can just say "you flashed on the change" instead of giving an entire description of what the person did and didn't do. 

Cheers.

is there even a difference between XCM, cardistry, and flourishing?

 One word...NO, IMHO.

[CDXX]

There isn't ... but the name is misleading. I prefer flourishing, cardistry.

Thanks for the info.  I guess I let it slip that time.  I'm going to re-edit the post to redact the oversight.  If I could trouble you to do the same for my quote in your reply, I'd truly appreciate it.
