The System

[cards95]

Does anybody know if the system has over the shoulder view or is it the same angles you see in the trailer?

If i remember correctly, they were top view and front view...

Is learning from top view difficult?

I've been watching the system for a while now and the top view is not too bad. I'd prefer an OTS angle but you can still learn from it. It's not that difficult.

Would you say papercuts is easier to learn from than the system?

It's not difficult, it's just different.

 An example would be the flip out/closer for genesis. It took me a while to learn because I couldn't make out the proper finger positions from the top view. Then one day, I was just randomly thinking of something with a deck of aviators in my hand, and voila, I performed the cut without realizing what I was doing until after I was done. I digress.

Point I'm trying to make is that, for some cuts, you need to get an understanding of what goes on from the front view in order for the top view to be helpful. That, and practice.

Let us know what you are practicing and how it's going

In my opinion, papercuts could be a little harder. The angles are better but the flourishes are mory knacky I guess. Chris and Jordan are quite skilled flourishers. Still enjoyed that disc a lot

Thanks! I'm just getting done with papercuts and thinking about buying it.
