the one thing i cant stress enough is to have your index finger along the length of the cards right by the middle and ring finger and not on the width opposite of ur pinky. sounds confusing but once u get the position of your index to musle memory, the rest of the move is pretty much momentum. i watched the DVD again just for you to make sure im explaning the same variation. if your problem isnt the position of the index then let me know and we'll dig deeper into the topic. :wink:

A little off topic maybe but Showoff with Cards is a bad product, and it isn't Brian Tudor's dvd. Briand Tudaor has 2 videos named Showoff 1-2 and a dvd named Generation Xtreme. If you try to learn from Magic Maker's version (ShowOff with Cards), I don't think it's a nice way to learn that since the instructions aren't that clear.

i watched your video...
you're not doing it right bro. try to follow Brian and see which way he rotates the upper packet and where he puts his ring and pinky as he goes for the revolution.
i agree with GaMeR, Tudor isnt the best guy to explaine xcm but he sure is good and i respect that. whatch him enough and pause the video as you try to follow the moves.
if you are still having difficulties PM me and i would be more than glad to go over the cut step by step on webcam.



p.s i know the way you do it might look almost alright and could almost pass as a revolution (as frankly my sister coulnt tell the difference between the way you did it and the way tudor did it) ...im guessing the reason you are learning the revolution is to move on to more complex cuts on show off 1 & 2...Generation eXtreme and the Hekler (if you're
a fan of Tudor) and not being able to execute the revolution properly would pretty much stop you from lirning the rest of the material explained on the video.

remember, getting it right once is enough for you to repeat, and again and again...and before you know it you'll be doing revolutions behind your back, top of your head , laying down or even on a handstand :wink:
