Yea I do the Trinary cut do, I can just sit there and talk to some one never look at the cards and do it over and over again and very seldom make a mistake. Also I've got Born To Perform it's the only full length video i have. I have a video with the one handed riffle shuffle, also one with the LD spinner, but thats pretty much it. I was just starting to look for some more flourishes to learn. Just a little flashier but not much. What I would really like to learn is how to repeat the hot shot cut over and over again with only ever using one hand to cut(duh), square, and reset the deck. Any tips on that would be most appreciated.

Thanks for everything

Flourishes are mostly used to get someones attention, for example if you are performing in a restaurant and you want to impress the people and quick, then you can do a flourish and receive their full attention. Most people have had an experience of low class magic being performed, so to remove that thought(lol) you do flourishes.

First move that comes into mind: Card Spring
