I want to know how you guys feel about flourishes I find them to be horrible it ruins the magic .Dont get me wrong it's cool to know and whatch,but have seen people start showing off becouse someone said "thats a nice trick your really good" .I find it bad becouse if you do some fancy cut and the tell the spectator to select a card it makes the spectator think if you can do that cut what makes me think you cant find my card.I heard people lose shows becouse they did a fancy false cut.I want to know why everybody likes flourishes so much for it is cool but not if your going to do magic if your going to do fancy cuts in a show I will say stick to gambling demos.

This topic has been discussed to death on this forum.
The best essay (IMO) about the pros and cons of card flourishes can be found in Darwin Ortiz' "Scams & Fantasies with Cards". |

I think you should keep flourish topics in the flourish forum.
it has been done to death. but it still hasn't beat the record of the ambitious card........you know, the trick where you put the card in the middle and it keeps appearing on top of the deck. if your still not sure what I mean pm me! aarrgghhh!!

"it has been discussed to death." If it hasn't for you then I strongly recommend you use the "search" fonction of this forum. Ronnie Lemieux Montreal Canada

"I find it bad becouse if you do some fancy cut and the tell the spectator to select a card it makes the spectator think if you can do that cut what makes me think you cant find my card."
You don't think it's kinda crazy that some dude dressed in a tux will have you select a card and then have it appear in his wallet in an envelope? C'mon. So flourishing looks good, it's fun to do. I don't think it ruins anything in the eyes of the spectator. They know you are a magician. Magicians do impossible things. I'm so sick of these guys who pretend to want to act like "normal people" when they perform. People want to see magic. They want to see a show. Give them one. Flourishes or no flourishes...thats up to you. If you enjoy it and you have fun doing them, then that's all that matters. If you are having fun then your audience will have fun too. People will say "I don't want to look like I am skilled" That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard any magician say. |
