How to do a card flourish

This a fairly easy one,but one tip-use good,high quality cards as they are much smoother than cheap cards and are well worth the investment. Go to Elussionist.com or just search google for some bicycle red backs,blue backs,black tigers or ghosts!(There are other makes but I prefer bicycle)

Step 1: The Grip

Hold the cards like it is shown in picture one.Keep the grip fairly loose and it helps if you have your cards on a grippy surface(a rug works well,or,if you could get a card mat but they are quite expensive).

[tudgeanator]

[MattandJora]

where did you get those cards?

[tudgeanator]

I got them from a company called Ellusionist (Just google them and it should come up),but many places sell them. They are called Black tigers.

[MattandJora]

cool thanks =]

[tudgeanator]

No prob

DUDE, I Got the Black Tiger Deck Too!!!!!!!!! :()

[tudgeanator]

NICE! I don't use the tigers any more because i found the ghost decks are easier to handle for some reason-they feel 'thinner'.

[ojochris]

Hmmmm....... I really Don't agree. But whatever. :-)

[tudgeanator]

Yeah,lots of people disagree with me,but thats just how i feel-Dont know why

[Dark_Helmet]

I would really consider this more of a flourish than a sleight. Other than that, a useful skill in any routine. -DE

[tudgeanator]

[tudgeanator]

a reply to mrath-its not my fault i cant spell or watever,i have slight dislexia.

[bumpus]

when i do this i use a card that goes across the tops of the cards so you can controll which way it goes

[mrmath]

First, you forgot three steps. 1) Practice 2) Practice 3) Practice. While the steps you give are accurate, it is not as easy as this. I can't do this, though I've tried and practiced. Second, please, learn to use the shift key on your keyboard. It's really easy, and makes you look so much better. Third, I normally would hit you with my You're/Your pet peeve here, but there's just so much wrong with the way you write that I just don't know where to begin. In all honestly, however, following your instructable should be easy (once you get beyond the grammar), and if you practice enough, this will tell you how to do it. It's a good instructable when you get past the grammer. Did I mention the bad grammer?

[bumpus]

haha Thanks I do usually use the shift key but i probably was in a hurry for somthing or another...

[mrmath]

That wasn't supposed to be directed at you. It was supposed to be directd at the author. I don't know why I hit reply! I'm a loser!

[SunShine.1111]

WOW!!! where did you get those cards??? they're soooooo HYPE!

[rockyt]

you aint gotta listen to nobody bout grammer iffin you dont carE too.!,
