Im looking to improve myself in 2 main areas and was looking for advice and recommendations
Flourishs and dexterity

Mainly something i call a stacked flourish where piles of cards end up supporting each other
Dynamo does this and is in the film smoking aces if youve seen it

And other area is dexterity mainly finger dexterity with cards and coins as im ok with my sleights now but i feel i need to broaden my horizons

So yh any help will be greatly loved

DO FINGER PUSH UPS!!! I think you'll find that doing the tricks and practicing the sleights alone improves your dexterity more than anything else. stretching could help??? and coordination can be imroved by practicing things such as throwing and catching, and yes that flourish is very pretty and I myself wouldnt mind adding it to my arsenal

Only practise will improve dexterity. 12 weeks ago I couldn't juggle or roll a coin across my fingers and both seemed impossible but today I can do both without thinking about it due only to lots of practise

The stacked flourish is so preety and i would love to get it so well down that i can just be casuall sitting in a chair at the pub and boom there it is and as quick as it came its gone
Thats the dream .....
And Yes juggling seemed impossible to me at first aswell haha
Now have all sorts of tricks

What i ment though was sourcable materiel

Things like books or dvds which are there to help with such things ?

Ideas people ?

I must agree with above posts, there's nothing like a bit of Practice that makes your magic go that extra mile, way back in my early days as a wannabe magic man, I spent days and days getting the most basic of moves right, and hopefully those moves will become second nature to you after a bit of patience and plenty of Practice.
