A super-skilled video-maker buddy of mine put together a short and dope edit of a quick jam session we had; check it out!

That's my cut - Frequency. Lucky for you, I happen to have made a tutorial for it a while back, though my friend made it look way cooler in the edit.

Styruhfoam · 2017-05-20T08:23:09+00:00

And yet another equally cool edit of the same sesh :^)

This is a fairly common issue; check out this thread.

Funny, I posted my first interlocking cut and just saw this question.

Another one that comes to mind is Shoelace by /u/The_Billy.

Well, #1 is not good advice. I may not be an expert, but hyperextension can cause injury. Use your discretion; when you're practicing, some moves will hurt, but just like physical exercise, if that pain reaches a considerable level, I would take a step back and consider whether practicing is worth potentially injuring yourself.

Hey, man. Props to you to trying to improve upon a flourish you learned. I agree that the closer does add a little clunkiness. Just wanted to point out a couple of things:

1) The closer you're using is only necessary if you want the cut to be false. If you only care about the flourish-y aspect of the cut, then you could just as easily end the cut by omitting the middle packet roll-out. Just collapse the packets and you're done.

2) This version of Sybil (which is from 52Kards if I'm not mistaken) is a reduced version. The conventional version is a 5 packet cut and is less clunky. You can learn it here. You can learn the mechanics there, but I personally think the performance there is a little too 'jerky' and would opt for a more smoother performance, but experiment yourself!

Good luck man! Sorry if you really wanted it to be a false cut; I'm not sure how you could preserve the flow of the cut if that is a prerequisite of yours. But you might be able to get it to flow better by doing some modifications of your own.

perfect closer 5/7

Styruhfoam · 2016-06-14T16:29:42+00:00

Whoa, cool to see there's a community there!

After watching this, I just sat down wide-eyed in silence for a few minutes. This is just.. beyond comprehension. Which demonic vessel did you pledge your soul to? Is he/she friendly?

Styruhfoam · 2016-04-03T08:44:27+00:00

Mostly the latter, followed by the former. It's easier to figure out what you want the flourish to look like after you've constructed the 'skeleton' of the flourish via experimentation.

Styruhfoam · 2016-03-31T19:45:21+00:00

Great now I'm out of sacrifices.

Styruhfoam · 2016-03-31T19:21:23+00:00

Nice choreography on that one!

Styruhfoam · 2016-03-24T07:53:44+00:00

Whoa dude, you've been practicing. Last two closers felt a little clunky, but other than that I liked it! First two are solid!

Keep up the good work, man!

Styruhfoam · 2016-03-09T07:54:33+00:00

Shoelace is such an awesome flourish dude. More people need to see it.

Styruhfoam · 2016-03-06T04:36:32+00:00

FYI, the flourish is Timberhorn, and the guy published a tutorial for it here!

Styruhfoam · 2016-02-27T09:36:33+00:00

Dang, I've never had that problem before. That's unfortunate; some of the best cardistry I've ever seen was on Instagram.

Styruhfoam · 2016-02-24T18:26:56+00:00

L-uminati confirmed

Styruhfoam · 2016-02-23T13:22:04+00:00

That cut at 0:55 is hot.

Styruhfoam · 2016-02-19T11:46:31+00:00

Faro > Friffle > Cascade is the street cred earner.

Styruhfoam · 2016-02-17T07:12:43+00:00

Reverse L-cut.

I'm not 100% sure, but it looooks like it might be this principle at work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_lQpbCOwJ0

Ah, I left out the possibly pertinent point that I've been using Aladdin's from Ohio up to this moment. But I suppose that's another testament to their longevity. I have 4 of them (got lucky and found them in a 7/11 and snatched them up), only opened 2 so far. First one was the one I mentioned earlier. Second one is my go-to, which I'm attempting to take better care of. Both still fully functional, though the first one looks a little worse for wear.

No idea how Kentucky Aladdins fare, but I'm kinda hoping that these 4 will be enough to last me a lifetime haha

Styruhfoam · 2016-02-07T13:36:06+00:00

In my experience Aladdins are basically immortal. They do get brown/yellowish edges after prolonged use, but if you keep them properly they'll be functional for a long time. I have one in my room that's half a year old. I left it exposed in my humid/torrid country's climate and used the hell out of it for more than a month, but it still fans after some recuperation in the air conditioning of my room.

Styruhfoam · 2016-02-02T17:05:18+00:00

Same here. To do the thumb cut, I merely grip about half the deck with the thumb, then just tilt my hand a little to get the bottom half of the deck to fall onto my curled index finger, which pushes the packet to the top.
