Doesnt have to be perfected yet, I can just barely do arriflex with out droping cards during the one handed revolution, for me it's a tie between that and what the hell happened to Sybil 3. Still trying to get the bigger ones down.
Disregard women, acquire playing cards. :p

I just started 6 months ago. And I think the hardest flourish got to be a tie between Maddona 3, Maddona 2 and Squeeze. I'm learning French Open 2 by Tobias now and trying to learn Pandora.

I'll come back to this thread in 6 months-1 year and hopefully be able to contribute something more.
Oh, Lawd!

I'm not really sure. Revolution cut? False Sybil? Which one of the two is most difficult? I'm into basic flourishes and flashy false cuts very useful for magic more than anything else.

Closest things I can do to flourishes right now would be an in-hand weave/faro shuffle and a pressure fan with two hands.  Oh, and I can do a RIBBON SPREAD, YAY!  :))


Yeah, I can't flourish my way out of a paper bag...

hmm...i used to manage the king cobra pretty constantly (first time i got it down was a moment of pure euphoria :) ).

but i find it hard to see it objective.

i practice pandora since the trilogy came out.
it looks/feels quite good but there is still room for improvement.

i can do the leno but not in any way smooth. *G*

i practiced miguel romans roman cut for a while and got it down a few times,
but this flourish is really a bitch.

  • I love heavy metal music.

Roman Cut is one of my favorites. If I had to name some it would probably be Roman Cut, Ultimo Sybil and 7axophone.

As for the topic, I'd say Rain.

I'm working on my fans and giant fans a little, but i don't really do flourishes.
My mom always said I'd be great at something. Who'd have thought that something would be zombie killin'.

  • I like birds.

The tornado cut.
The packets always bevel and fly everywhere if I use slick cards.
