going to use my mental powers to make a prediction.

XCM well done mate. Even tho flourises dont float my boat, still highly entertaining.


Good work

Since its just like watching a movie, I will give a review.

Overall: Truly an amazing work of art…the moves and even the editing. I felt this basically was the best flourish vid I have ever seen.

Special Effects: Ghosted hands, flashes, transparency, desaturation...these make for a more underground and darker video. A better fit for the Cobra Mayhem song that accompanies it.

Cobra Strike Opener: Though modeled obviously over the Cobra, this opener is one of a kind. While other openers i have seen involve just shaking the cards out, or flicking the box away, this pushes those out of the way. When I watched it, I had in my mind, De'Vo's Smooth Opener, and the trademark it is given to its creator. This is is your trademark opener.

One Card in Fan: I have only done this by luck. Not only do you get the card in the fan, but you seem to be able to do it with little chance of fail. To make it more of a challenge, you have shot the card off the deck with one hand. Unique creation, and seemingly impossible at first.

Running L-Cuts: Performed at inhuman speed, you have pushed yourself, as well as the cut, to the limits. This is one of the favorite one hand multiple cut flourishes by many.

Viereck: I cannot do this even with two hands. What else can I say? Very good method of the square SSS.

Triple Transfer: Performed really well. Added spinning of the hands gives it a more dynamic look.

Andaconda: Beautiful flourish. This happens when a small simple flourish is exaggerated. In this case, dribbling the cards. Looks even like a snake, especially with the big blob of cards at the bottom for the coil . To be able to do it three times without fail, that is amazing.

Crossed King Cobra Packet Switches: An a amazing finale. While people amaze themselves over just the King Cobra done, you have done this on both hands. While it may seem exceedingly difficult, you have even switched the packets. Very well done! Even the creator has not seen this done in a long time. And I must say, this was a hard hitting ending.


Enjoy the Superhandz package that you have won. It is surely that you have received first place for such a remarkable video. I believe that right now, the only person who can take you on in this contest would be if De'Vo or Jerry entered.

Im back from the dead...

Hey everyone!

I've been concentrating on decknique and a new video. Other than that i've just been careless about all the other forum news, just got tired and gave internet a break, and still not fully back yet lol.

For my video, I asked if Howell can re-edit my video for 21ace contest to set my credits straight.

Peace

It's all good.

Editing is good and the moves are rediculous

You don't learn it anywhere.

All you need to know is a long thumb propulsion aka. Long Distance Spinner you can get on Penguinmagic as an instant download or Jerry's Encyclopedia of playing card flourishes. The only one thing you wont be able to do is to catch the card

Posted by cardfreak on December 22, 2005 at 23:59

where can you learn thw Anoconda by Bone? I googled it, couldn't really find anything. It looks like a sweet dribble.

Posted by fattyonadiet on December 23, 2005 at 01:08

its just that, a dribble..... its just a longer version of a dribble. i'm pretty sure theres no special technique that is involved.... mine is only about 30cm longs.... so its not quite a dribble, but its not yet an anaconda.

Posted by Howell on December 23, 2005 at 02:40

Like he said it's only a big dribble .. around 3-4 feet haha. You can learn it by just extending the dribble or looking for one of Bone's tutorial on the Anaconda im pretty sure few people still has it.

Posted by Scott on December 23, 2005 at 06:25

Hayyo, havent been online in a while, became obsessed with Halo 1+2

Saw this vid a long time ago, AMAZING man, your L cuts are easily one of the best ive seen...

Anaconda, the cards are dribbled off by the thumb, and not the fingers, its easy for me because thats how ive done it all my life anyway

Andrei, PLEASE dont enter the Comp

Posted by Waterwings on December 23, 2005 at 21:19

For some reason I'm not able to view the video. The link brings me to the PHUNDS site, but where do I go from there?
I also copied that whole URL and pasted it into my address bar and clicked 'go,' but it just says "Page cannot be displayed."
Any suggestions?
