All of them, but I would need larger hands......

[@nicholasn8862]

i love your videos! i just started doing magic and cardistry 5 days ago and from then you have taught me a lot of tricks already. I'm using an old set of bicycle cards, when i saw you had your own brand of cards i immediately when to website but was bummed when they where sold out guess i was a little late to the party lol. i'm trying to convince my mom to let me get a deck of NOC cards (i'm 16)

not that hard with good cards... but if you try with a deck from the dollar store forget it XD

[@AlphaMachina]

Yeah, you gotta have some good cards. They're thinner, much better material, hold their shape better, move across themselves easier, but also grip better to the skin when you want them to. A well made deck is something speshul.

[@qryu]

If you can do it slow, you can do it fast.

[@ajjackson9746]

You should do a video of you just trying to do all of these moves. That could be very fun to watch

And you should definitely talk about your own video the way you were talking at the beginning of this one! That’d be cool! I won’t ever be back to watch it, but it would be nice to know that somewhere in the world and on the web, you’re trashing your own efforts.

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Hey Chris, I know that this video is 4 years old and I am just now discovering for the first time, but as I am a complete newb to Cardistry, watching you, who have come a long way since this video was made, is so much fun since I look up to you the same way you look up to the guys in this video. I feel like a regular human civilian, while your like Batman, and the guys in the video are at Superman level. I could watch you reacting to top-tier Cardists all day long. In this video I feel like I am hanging out with you at your home while we sit in awe of what talents and skills are waiting for us at the top of the mountain. Thanks for this, Even though now your much closer to the level of the guys in this video, watching you get your mind blown back then gives me hope for my own Cardistry future.

[@RichardJr1134]

Keep practicing brother. You can get the too.

[@ikamts2]

I remember being at the beginning of all the cardistry. The community was being built on Decknique which was a very popular forum for people who flourished. I remember being extremely active there and coming up with flourishes that people actually saw and used from me. Then the website closed and I kind of dropped off from cardistry. When I came back 4 or 5 years ago, the art has moved so far that I was left way to far behind. I still do flourishes I have created over the years even though they don’t seem as innovative as they did before, but I’m just so proud of where this art form has gone to. It’s truly incredible it has expended beyond a “handful” of dedicated people. Proud of everyone who takes up cardistry as the primary thing.

[@theRhinsRanger]

ikamts2 - me too, once the old forums closed I drifted away now as you say we are waaaay behind. I love watching the new stuff

[@OmniNero]

I dont like watching cardistry videos since they just make me jealous of what can be accomplished with a deck of cards and what little I can do. But, these videos get me motivated to start getting up to that level and actually create my own stuff no matter how rigid and rough around the edges the flourish is.

[@thecampfire4877]

At the end of this video my mouth was really dry, and I was like wtf. Then I realized I watched this entire video with my jaw dropped. *Pure Amazement*
