DeadPeopleAllOver Card Flourishes 6 Video Reviews

Posted by DeadPeopleAllOver on August 13, 2005 at 16:47

Here's a list of all the moves w/various notes. I've been doing flourishes for about 3½ months, and this is my first real video.

One-handed shuffle, both hands with waterfall finishes

Triple arm-roll cut: The standard arm-roll cut can be found in Jerry Cestkowski's Encylopedia Of Playing Card Flourishes.

Armspreads: This is an armspread routine with various catches. The fourth catch may be original (I know, big deal).

Snap shot: This is a move I came up with (or thought I came up) years ago. Then when I started getting into flourishes about 3½ months ago I pretty much figured I had invented this move. But then I saw a video by Drake from Superhandz performing the same move. Oh well, I guess those things happen sometimes. Anyway, he called the move a "snap shot", so I guess that's what we'll call it.

Vertical Brush: The snap shot is followed up with a vertical brush.

Double armspread with 2 different simultaneous catches


Video is 1:44. The "meat" of the video is about 1:27.

Hey man...awesome for a FIRST video!!! I really enjoyed that and you are obviously very good with your armspreads, which I enjoyed. Keep at it and don't hesitate to keep making vids...they are always fun to watch

that was great man, waterfalsl were big as hell bro, i like the rolling arm cuts, your arm spreads seem to be your strong pointm and the whole top shot with all the combos were very entertaining

Thanks for the great comments, guys. It's a real confidence boost. I didn't know how my video would hold up, but I'm glad everyone thought it was decent.

I've gotten a few PM's asking how to do the snap shot. I'll post a tutorial video after the contest is over.

Some notes about this video: People seem to like the armspreads. I actually like armspreads the least. Go figure. This video actually had a lot more material in it, but I had to edit/leave stuff out because of the 90 second time limit.

Thanks again and good luck to all the members.
