A while back you posted a controversial video on Cardistry with Ellusionist.
What are your thoughts on the subject now? Have they changed at all? Did people misinterpret your meaning when you first posted it? |

Man oh man I remember that video haha. Well let me give you the lowdown. Did people misinterpret. Yes. Is it their fault. No. I feel looking back at that I should have made my intentions a bit more clear. While I still believe everything I said in that video in that time. What I was really talking about was the intermixing of flourishing and magic. Showing you have amazing card handling skills then try to show people magic. I think if you're trying to do ''magic'' then show off like that the thinking then turns to wow you have great hands. Not magic. That's what I was really trying to convey in that video. Though I don't think I did such a great job getting that across.
So do I feel the same way. Yes. However I do feel different about cardistry now. I have watched it evolve into something truly beautiful. And I have made friends who are amazing cardists and they have taught me a lot about cardistry. Mind you I still can't do any of it. But I think I understand a bit about it in talking and watching and learning their ideas and why they do what they do. A few years back it was just a bunch of people doing useless moves over and over with no flow or thought. Now it's a dance and an art. So that's where I stand now. I'm actually excited to see where it goes next mostly because I've seen some things that aren't out yet and it's amazing. Anyway I hope that answered your question and thanks for bringing up funny memories of the past it made me laugh and I thank you for that. I actually put my Ellusionist past behind me and didint think anyone remembered it. Thanks for the question! |
