Marpenothi Card Flourishes 4 Video Reviews

Posted by marpenothi on February 12, 2005 at 19:15

Here is my first major card manipulation/magic video.

I had a lot of fun making it and it showed me how much I have learned in 3 months (I started in November). I had so many thing I wanted to include in this vid, but 90 seconds only allowed for my few best tricks.

I used three different types of cards. I used a classic blue backed Bicycle deck, a red backed Bee deck, and a black backed Tactical Field Bicylce deck.

Here is the documentation to the best of my knowledge:
1) Opening trick is the card spin, which I have also heard it called the Pirouette Flourish. This can be learned in the video "Stealing Pips" by Oz Pearlman.

2) Second is the Snap Change. This is tought in many different places. I personally learned it from the "Zip, Snap, Inversion Somersault" clip by Brian Tudor. That can be purchased at the Penguin Magic site.

3) S-Fan, which is taught in the "Showoff with Cards" DVD from Magic Makers Inc.

4) Bertram Change. I learned this trick from a friend, but I have heard that Oz Pearlman teaches it in one of his videos.

5) The Tenkai Vanish, or the throw vanish. This can be learned in the "Stealing Pips" DVD by Oz Pearlman.

5) The Bridge cut, which is taught in the "Showoff with Cards" DVD from Magic Makers Inc.

6) False Cut Routine - Swing Swivel Cut, Butterfly Cut, Jammin' Cut (all are taught in the "Showoff with Cards" DVD), and finishing with the Air Flip Over color change, which is taught in many differnent books and DVDs...including Crash Course 2 from Ellusionist.

7) I'm not sure of the exact name of this trick, but some acquaintances have told me it is called something like "The Ultimate Card Switch." Im pretty sure its taught in the Vegas Card Cheat routine in the Ninja Videos from Ellusionist.

8. And finally, the final trick was "The Hex," which is taught in the "Showoff with Cards" DVD

Please correct me if I am wrong in any of my names or credits.


As I said, I started from scratch 3 months ago. Feel free to leave constructive criticism. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video

Pretty nice!
Bridge cut and The Hex aren't so smooth looks hard. But it is hard
I give it 8/10!

Marp,

That is a great video. If the rest of the card and chip videos are like these first 2 then we're in for a lot of fun.

Twirlmasterflex,

Good job getting to 100 posts, that is a nice milestone.

Muy bien Senor.

excellent job.

the hex looks a little rough, but i can see that it is an extremely hard flourish as well.

Great Job,

Puremagic
