Lancashire, Darwen, UK, (15:AH) Was that right?

Anyways, hiya everyone

It's great to have found a decent magic forum for once, and it's a pleasure to be here.

I'm 'sort of' new to magic (card magic, might I add ), I've been doing it for about 3 or 4 months now which makes me a hobbyist, I hope

But this seems like a rather pleasant place to be, so I'll hopefully stick around and become a nice active member

Though I do have one question:
I take a bit of extra interest in flourishes; I was wondering if it's 'against the rules' to inquire for tutorials on flourishes or even what some of them are called

Just curious, but thanks a lot

I suppose it's okay there - most of us (I dunno why) prefer it in our profile so it appears just under our name on the left .

Hi Callum, welcome to TM.

Welcome and Merry Christmas! Bring on the magic

It is certainly not against the rules to find out the names of effects or flourishes, of course I don't know the names I just kind of do the bloody things. As for how flourishes are done? I don't know if it is or isn't against the rules. However I think teaching them in this medium is going to be downright difficult at best.

Welcome Callum

Thanks for the warm welcome guys

I may as well ask it here other than anywhere else

There is one particular flourish that I saw Derren Brown perform in the casino scene (it was what originally got me into card tricks ) but, irnoically, I've never been able to figure out the name of it or anything, so I don't actually know where I can learn it O.o

There's a video on YouTube for it (Clicky) There's two actually One at 2:38 (after the one-handed cut) and another at 2:41 ish.

I thought I'd ask here because you guys probably know a billion times more than me about magic and stuff

I do also apologise for this ungrateful approach I appear to be taking too (But I really want to know how to do those flourishes )

Again, thanks a bundle for the warm welcome

welcome and stay active!
