[BassmrDK]

Hi...

I don't know if I ever asked you, but are you The real "Kevin Ho"..? :) Cause there was a guy a while back who had the exact same videos as you, but his channel is now gone so I think he was a faker....

[nicksterboy1996]

HOLY.....SHIT!

That was nice :oooo

your the best card flourisher ive ever seen before lol , RESPECT , but i got one suggest, can you do the tornado cut tutorial please? that should be awsome :D

[kevhonline]

Thanks! Regarding the Tornado Cut, I actually can't do it in the first place, so I probably wouldn't be the best person to teach it :P

-Kev, The Virts

stam hara

[shark10666]

The flourish at 0:10 - 0:13 was very smooth.

whats it called?

pete

[kevhonline]

Hey Pete,

That would be the basic version of 'Revolver'.

-Kev, The Virts

[shark10666]

cheers kev, that was some quick reply.

[kevhonline]

No problem. I always have my trigger finger ready for comments ;)

-Kev, The Virts

[M4G1CM4N1000]

Hey Kevin where did

you get your wynns I cant find them anywhere:(

-Ryan

[kevhonline]

Those actually aren't Wynns - they're custom cards by JC Sum that I got from him a while back. Not sure if he still sells them, but if you contact him through his site he might be able to help you.

Cheers,

-Kev, The Virts

[JokkerJester]

hi kevin what kind of vid effect did you used on this one??

[kevhonline]

For this one I applied the Threshold effect to the max. It was back when I used Sony Vegas, though, so I'm not sure if other video editors call it the exact same thing as that.

-Kev, The Virts

[JokkerJester]

wooo thnx! yea sony vegas still have threshold . im still using sony vegas xD

[dibby2006]

That was Brutal Bloody Badass!

(How's *that* for alliteration!) :P

-Laurence. :P

[neckroopimp]

Sir kevin,r u gonna do a dvd or a tutorial for this flourish?and the sick and twisted wings of the mocking bird?

[HarryAK88]

you da man kev!

[SKETCH730]

I think i have found what to aim for

So kev, when i get better than you, ill post a vid, and ill get more hits :D

Got to have competition too keep you in shape haha

[magictruitt]

you sir kevin, are a card ninja!

[Dracduh]

Really licked the feeling of the vid. Great job

[nathanlulu]

nice to see that kevin hasenough common decency to reply to most peoples questions,a lot of established magicians are obviousley up their own arse to reply,well done kev

[kevhonline]

Haha... well, I just try and help people out whenever I can. No use having all this experience if you don't share it, right?

-Kev, The Virts

[SinfuI]

i still think that final flourish is fucking amazing. even though you already told me its just a madonna variation.

Goddamnit. i want a tut :<

[nathanlulu]

kev...i still hate you,because now im very jealous.can i borrow your hands please?how many hours do you practice every day?thanks

[kevhonline]

Thanks! A little hate is good every now and then just to balance out the equation :D

Anyway, I try and find time to practice as much as I can every day - I do it so often that it's just second nature for me now to always have a deck of cards in hand. That way, I end up practicing almost every waking hour - tough stuff, I know.

-Kev, The Virts

[nathanlulu]

yeah sometimes even when i wake upm in the morning i have to get a deck of cards and practice stuff,i just love it,i think im obsessed lol

[xXdinkelXx]

WOWOWOWOWOW

[CalebSwartz558]

hey i used an effect just like this in a vid of a display i made,i just posted i just posted it, why dont you check it out and tell me what you think. its not my best performance of the display and i think ill redo it though

[kevhonline]

It's kind of hard to see the display because you used the effect a little too much, but from what I can see it looks a bit like one of the displays in the Jackson 5, with an extra packet held with the upper packet.

-Kev, The Virts

[CalebSwartz558]

yeah im going to redo it and mess around with the lighting a little

[GuyWithThreeEyes]

amazing.

[scare1988oktober]

how smooth can a human be with playing cards?

this is the answer

[arecelareverum]

cool. those cards look...neat. what were they?

[kevhonline]

Those are custom playing cards by Singaporean Magician JC Sum. Got them from him a while back :P

-Kev, The Virts

[PaulFlourisher]

This is the only video i have on my iPod, o and will Revolver be on the virt's Dvd? It looks like a fun cut

[agustin1955]

Perfect manipulation!!! Congratulations!!! 5*****

[1Danny123]

Hey Kev, I absultely love your videos! I watch them alot, but just a question, wuld you mind telling me the song? Ive Heard alot of titles but i never foun it, can you help me?

.....Daniel.....

[frezzingaces]

whats the cut at the 3rd scene? the syibl thing

[kevhonline]

That's a little sybil aerial I came up with called 'Off the Hook'.

-Kev, The Virts

[domandmattsmagic]

tell me kevin, who inspires you?

[kevhonline]

Dan and Dave Buck, Bone Ho, the other members of Virtuoso, Andrei Jikh, and the art of film as a whole.

-Kev, The Virts

[seanissomething]

This is a flippin classic!

<3 Revolver.

Scott

[o0Lefty0o]

Are you really colorblind?

[kevhonline]

Slightly. Paul Dano, on the other hand...

-Kev, The Virts

[o0Lefty0o]

lol well like i said i gtg to the store with my mom and bro catch ye later

[frezzingaces]

hey ive searched the lighter tricks website but cant find that song. can anyone help?

[magicnick16]

Entertaining Performance, awesome XCM, flawless moves. Whats not to love? AWESOME!

[SinfuI]

what's the title of the last cut that you did here kev? and is there a tut?

<3 @ ragnarok btw lol

[kevhonline]

The cut doesn't really have a title - it's just a Madonna II with a modified ending. No tutorial for it, really - just an encouragement from me to play around with conventional moves and come up with awesome handlings of your own :D

-Kev, The Virts

[SinfuI]

yeah it looked like a madonna to be honest, but not quite right. anyways, thanks Darling XD

[ghossler]

lol ur good

[liltimmy1313]

u gotta tell me how u did tht video effect!!

anyone know?

[kevhonline]

What I did in Vegas was to add the 'Threshold' effect and just crank the settings to max. The original footage had me standing in front of a green screen - haha.

-Kev, The Virts

[liltimmy1313]

oh yea thats pretty sickk

i have threshold setting on windowsmovie maker

but i dont have settings... cuz wmm suckss

anyway your a master of the cardsssss

[Pauliwallnutz]

this will always be my favorite video

[darkshadows98]

that was great awesome stuff

[mpdproductions13]

For Kevin's sake I'll tell you what cards they are. This is his previous post,

Those are custom made cards by Singaporean magician J.C. Sum. I bought a pack off of him a few years ago mainly because I liked the simple black design of it... which reminds me, where the hell did I leave that deck around my house??

-Kev

[seymourmagic]

Those are Aladdins, right? They look like Wynns in pixelated black and white :P

[Aik0z]

Yeah, i thought about that just the same, i didn't would it strange if this god would already have the Wynns by that time though.

[CardMagic12345]

i just said what they were but im replying to you too so you know.

[Aik0z]

I know, and i said that at first these cards looked like Wynns with the effects

[CardMagic12345]

its his friends custom cards

[Kohlohr]

it makes me sick that i am performing so badly in comparism... probs to the whole virtuoso team keep it comin... i'll have to work ;)

[TsunamiNoir]

That was literally action-packed! :D

It was amazing how much was in that 27 seconds.

I'd put 6 stars, but the sixth one doesn't exist...sorry...

[Geobz28]

@TsunamiNoir if someone dislikes it that means they're blind :P

[woody532]

Are you using Wynns in this video?, If so which one?

[kevhonline]

If you read through the comments you'll see I make a post regarding what type of cards these are (which aren't Wynns, by the way.)

-Kev

[kissmycandy]

What the cut at 00:9

[kevhonline]

'Revolver.'

-Kev

[kissmycandy]

It's got a really nice flow to it, cheers.

Also the ather version in Void Deck is nice.

[kevhonline]

Thanks! The move has a ton of variations and different endings - the one in here and in Void Deck are just two of the ones I decided to film :D

-Kev

[kissmycandy]

Cool.

You can use it as a good ender to J5, just and it on to the genesis, if you get what I mean.

[o0Lefty0o]

Nice one!

[asdfjellybean]

god i love ur skills!

any video of yours will keep me motivated :D

[bingbangtube]

what kind of cards are those?

[kevhonline]

Those are custom made cards by Singaporean magician J.C. Sum. I bought a pack off of him a few years ago mainly because I liked the simple black design of it... which reminds me, where the hell did I leave that deck around my house??

-Kev

[Zestfuly]

Who cares, you use Aladdins now. =P

[Pauliwallnutz]

I end up watching this video atleast once a day.

[kevhonline]

Haha... as long as it's not with lotion that's fine with me :D

-Kev

[kissmycandy]

lol Kev, too right.

Oauliwallnutz put your deck away, and get out some cards.

[ColeFri]

LMAO

[Poecky]

hey.. will there be a tut sometime for your Revolver flourish?

[kevhonline]

I've already made one, but it won't be available for free.

-Kev

[SpadeFlame]

Which one was the revolver?

[Improvedgripz]

Love it man! favorite video right now. I just came back

[drawingmaniac21]

Hey Kev, are those Wynn cards?

[kevhonline]

No, those are custom-made playing cards by my magician friend JC Sum. Basically they're all black except for the JC Sum log at either end of the cards.

-Kev

[drawingmaniac21]

I see...how do they handle? Are they like Jerry's or Wynn's? Or are they like bikes/bees/tallys?

[kevhonline]

They're kind of thick, and don't fan really well - kind of like Imperials if you've ever handled those.

The company that published them is Gemaco, so if you've got money to spare you could maybe get a pack to test out.

-Kev

[drawingmaniac21]

Yuck. Imperials... and Gemaco..nah. I think I'll pass. BTW, how's California treating you?

[kevhonline]

Yeah, I'd pass too.

California kicks ass. I've been watching movies almost every single day - I've clocked in 27 so far this month, and going to watch another one tonight.

At this rate I'll be blind by age 26... I'll be the filmmaking equivalent of Beethoven. Awesome.

-Kev

[drawingmaniac21]

Nice...I bet you're loving the weather (and the more easily accessible cards)

[kevhonline]

Not so much the cards since I've been using the same ones I brought with me, but the weather is pretty righteous. Sunny all the time, with a nice breeze coming through so you don't fry - it's a filmmaker's wet dream.

-Kev

[drawingmaniac21]

lawl...dat's why all da celebs are living here. hollywood...beverly hills... we got it all!

[o0StayOut0o]

Love it!

[KOP2901]

i could have learn your move if only the picture didn't smeared by all that black and white

[kevhonline]

Yes! Another learn-by-watching-video-and-ov­er-again leecher avoided!!

-Kev

[SinfuI]

lol, never seen a ragnarok performed quite nicely. (that quadruple packet thing is fucking hard to execute)

Very nice =D

[kevhonline]

Thanks. Although I hear that Odin and Loki can pull it off pretty well too.

(Norse mythology, kids!)

-Kev

[steinvegard]

Have you heard this from Ling? I guess she's pretty good at Norse mythology... After all, she's a specialist at black viking metal. And it was mainly the vikings that believed in Odin, Tor, Loki, Frøya and all the others..

Stein

[kevhonline]

Actually, I already knew this from having dabbled in studies in mythology myself - although I have to admit Ling does have quite the fascination in stuff like this.

-Kev

[steinvegard]

Haha.. Okey.. It's like, I don't know much about the mythology in Singapore, if there is any. So kudos to you. =D Hahaha..

Stein

[kevhonline]

All we have is pretty much a mermaid with a lion's head... myeh.

-Kev

[steinvegard]

Ah.. I think I've heard of it. =D Gosh.. Looks like we're having a chat here.. =D "14 seconds ago kevhonline posted this"

Stein =D

[kevhonline]

btw, a/s/l? jk lol kk gtg bb

-Kev

[steinvegard]

Hahahahaha... Your awesome... But this time it was 16... =P Btw is it long time before the dnd,kevhonline video is out? Or have you gotten Tibia Cancer?

Stein

[kevhonline]

"Tibia Cancer" is really a euphemism for "Excessive Amounts of Schoolwork", really, and right now it seems I've been piled up with quite a load of it...

-Kev

[steinvegard]

Ah... I see. In the old days, I didn't really believe people when they said they was busy because of schoolwork. But in the later years, I've figured out it's actually true. =P You learn as long as you live. Haha.

[cyoshi77]

oh, kk....nice stuff too!!!!!!!!!

[cyoshi77]

wat was that on 00:20?

[kevhonline]

Apparently it's a glitch from Youtube's video conversion of the clip. I noticed it when I first uploaded the video last October, but after a few tries of re-uploading the video (to no avail) I found there wasn't any way around it. Ah well.

-Kev

[ilikeshakingsodas]

sweet. also i was surprised when i heard u moved to the oc hope ur films r sucessful

bi

[ilikeshakingsodas]

thanks will you be teaching it anytime or like publishing it, it looks sick

[kevhonline]

I will be teaching it eventually, but not for free. On that note, however, I am currently writing up a short list of moves to teach for free to promote my website. Stay tuned!

-Kev

[ilikeshakingsodas]

hey kev whats the flourish called at 10 sec thx

[kevhonline]

That's my Revolver flourish, with an added fancy twist at the end. I've got about five different ways of ending that cut, one of which you can see performed in Void Deck :D

-Kev

[DrTalent]

Kev im making a video like this for my school talent show sincew i really cant perform live since its a big stage and all and the first 30 seconds are going to be like this and i need the song i got to hand it to you the video came out amazing

[mubudubum]

[kevhfilms]

I used Sony's Vegas to edit the video. And as for being able to do stuff like that, well... practice makes perfect. More practice, more perfect :D

-Kev

[mubudubum]

lolb i spend so much time trying to come up with better effects in magic that i find myself ignoring xtreem cuts

[ishogai]

lol ok, ive seen you on the dan and dave forums. My name is big tigg on there so we can talk on their sometimes if you want.

[ishogai]

Wow thats amazing! I especially love the 4th flourish (the one after the sybil variation) (tutorial?) lol. I have learned all of your tutorials on youtube, great job, your an awesome flourisher.

[kevhonline]

Hey ishogai,

If you're referring to the flourish that starts at about 00.09, that's a cut called 'Revolver' that I came up with in '06. Don't think I'll be making any teaching videos of it anytime soon, but who knows? :D

-Kev

[joeshays]

u should do a comercial!

[Harriyama]

your like a young de'vo... *sigh*

[craigemc]

i love it. Kev - your my god. i want to join your flourish website - what is it?

[awimagic]

ur flourishes are one of the most beautiful things out there... u got THE TOUCH !!! congratulations.

[shirosu]

you're really good. wats the song called?

[kevhonline]

Thanks for the kind words, shirosu. The song is an excerpt from the track "Squeeze it lit" that used to be available as a free download off Lightertricks.com, which doesn't seem to be working at the moment. If it comes back up, I'll let you know.

-Kev
