Hey Mike, since you've learned how to ride a unicycle and juggle maybe you can put those two skills together and juggle while riding your unicycle. You might want to wear safety gear.

[@nateg5534]

The thing about Mike that I love is that he's always determined. Like Chris (who I really like and is an inspiration to my magic career), said that it takes some people years. But I bet those people only practice a few days a week and when they do they only practice for a few minutes. Now Mike does learn quick but he also practiced and hour a day at least.

it took me 2 and a half hours to make the bigger springs, but I still need to practice the full catching of it

"Years of practice" he took 9 hours. Not a lot of time.

[@hovis_esports]

pixiljuice itme well when you put years of practice into something, you never really forget how to do it. But when you do it for just a couple days, a year later you may have to re learn how to do it all over again. That’s the key difference

[@Spot_Shot]

Try to do the Spring as perfect as a cardist or magician. You should even be able to do the Spring after months of not doing it. That's called muscle-memory. You need it for EVERY move in cardistry or magic.

[@Uminchuu]

I JUST started trying to learn this a couple days ago myself. My hat is off to you, sir! What excellent tenacity you have! And, I absolutely love watching these colaborative vids between Chris and people such as yourself! Keep up the hard work.

[@maxhaibara8828]

I can clearly see that he doesn't have OCD

[@rockwitharms7455]

Nevertheless Nobody joked about it, people just don’t understand it. It’s not just some kind of a simple irritation, it’s a real obsession over having to do things again and again in the right way until you satisfy your mind. It’s not just about the order of playing cards, it’s a real illness that harms your everyday life.

[@pogpogpurinn]

@@rockwitharms7455 i have ocd but theres many types. Mine isnt the one where everything has to be in order, but in order for me to cope with the intrusive thoughts ocd gives me, i used to have a rouitine and if that got messed up id throw a fit, ik dramatic but that was my coping mechanism. Ocd can come in many forms and isnt just about wanting things clean and in order, so yeah, it is about having to do things a certain way to cope with things. For an example, My mum used to have to walk by a certain rock in a certain way, like on the right of it, otherwise she would panic something bad would happen to her family, since the ocd clings onto the thing youre worring and caring about about and makes you worry more and changes it, hence the obsessive, the compulsive is how you deal with that etc. Just thought id throw this out there! :D a lot of people misunderstand and make jokes about it being like "ooo i like everything being clean so i have ocd" wheras its really not that simple ☺ it really really messes up your life if you have it bad and i can barely go outside without worrying about the things and associating those obsessive things to the places i used to love. i dont think you were making a joke out of it, its just for other people to know that its not very nice to see jokes about disorder. :)

[@rockwitharms7455]

cermet 👍

[@goodnightj]

The different variety of OCD also includes different severities of the disorder, so you shouldn't discredit those with lower severity as "making fun of a disorder"

I'm jelly. Ive been working on the spring for a while with much slower success

[@zeliumite]

To be fair, he used just the index like Chris, which is harder than just doing it the way most people do it, which is with index and middle or index, middle amd ring.

[@Silvergrooves42]

I do it with just the middle, which is also a possible way

[@zeliumite]

Tarmin Slingerfinger yep

[@andrewsparkes8829]

Like Mike said, it's more about what you do with your thumb. Whatever fingers you do and don't use doesn't really matter - using more just makes sure it rests easier before you start, but doesn't make the actual springing part easier.

[@zeliumite]

Andrew Sparkes really? I only said what I did because from personal experience, it's much harder for me to control the spring if I'm too busy trying to have control over the pressure I apply. Perhaps I'm just simply doing it wrong then?

[@andrewsparkes8829]

zeliumite Oh no, I didn't mean you were doing it 'wrong', I just meant it's relatively unimportant to the actual springing part. Of course a person should use however many fingers feels comfiest to them, my point was any amount of fingers is essentially okay and no specific amount of fingers (or which fingers you use) is inherently better overall, which is what I thought you meant before! A person should just feel out what's best for them, so long as they understand the important springing part comes from the thumb and not the fingers. I personally think just one finger and the thumb looks cleanest, due to 'less parts', but would never say a person using 2, 3 or all 4 was doing it wrong, so long as it looks good!

Great job.... One thing I noticed the relative motion of the cards.... When a card is relaeased and the hand move back at the same speed... the card is like floating in the air....and you catches it with your other hand.... I think the little moment In which we see the cards isolated in mid air... Causes the magical beauty of this flourish....
