Damn you in being good! What is the first flourish called? I've seen people do that and would love to get a book or something with it in.

Well Done!

the first one is the opening display of a combo called mantis

theres a tutorial on how to do it on decknique.net ( http://decknique.net/content/273.html )

though some of the tutorials on there are pretty tricky - if you wanna learn some really flashy stuff I recommend getting the xtreme beginnerz dvd ( superhandz - http://www.superhandz.com/ ) that'll get even someone who can barely shuffle up to scratch lmao

I would comment on the video but I can't because I can't view youtube or google videos... :(

But the Mantis display is great :D. I love the flare in it. Excellent flourish by Scott and Sean Watters. (Scott's only 16 :shock:)

I liked them a lot!
The erdnase was very smooth and the vanish and production at the end was great :D

Top marks for that man!

You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

Just saw it using the school computer :P.

Was good. The Mantis display could use a bit more practice so that it comes all in one action. Also would be nice to see the whole Mantis cut.

The charliers need a bit of work to smoothen it out a bit and to make it faster.

The erdnase change was done very well. However, relax a tad bit to make it look more natural.

Tenkai vanish was executed very well. Well done!

I couldn't to the mantis thing but now with the link you provided, thanks, I can. Well, just need to practice. I need to practice the last one too. Need to get it smoother. Otherwise, very nice. :)

And thanks for the http://decknique.net/ link. And yeh, Superhandz is cool. :)
