Card Flourish Tutorials - Virtuoso: 5 Tips on the Tornado Cut

[EIectricEmotions]

where can i find a tutrial for this trick?

[Erebris]

it is not fair how you have such long fingers

[MrDwoolcock]

Awesome skills but incredibly frustrating to learn. The cards go flying as soon as I touch them. Same as that bloody spring. I therefore conclude that all these videos are actually CGI and completely fake. It is physically impossible to do anything this guy does unless he is somehow changing the laws of physics. Newton and Einstein will not be pleased.

[kratoslevit]

It never stays on my pinky finger :'(

Also tried sooo many times to spin it to no luck, but the moment I try with the pack in the incorrect spot of the palm....I get a rotation...then a slip off my finger :/

[hatchetman3001]

amazingg

[Mark24Project]

is it bad that I help spinning the packet with my left pinky ?

[grichi1]

I will never be able to do this :L

[randalfthewise]

i either tense my hands so i grip too tight and don't get any spin, or don't grip tight enough and drop everything =/

more of step 5 i think

[C00lorWhat]

Daren Yeow kicks ass

[RookieN08]

His tornado cut is freaking sick!!!!

[TheAkib123]

u hav amazing skills with cards

[TheCardmaster88]

What do you do if your hands are small?

-Alex

[Oniikidd]

[theHLetter]

[Alex313magicg]

[hmm3231]

[FluxMagic]

hi guys i have been doing card flourishes for a month now and i have been looking for a tut on this and it is great, however can we have a voice over version aswell please because i can't seem to spin the packet on the hand. any ideas anyone?

[nguyenlinh1310]

I want to learn Tornado Cut like you :)........you are my idol :))

[voidturbulence]

Damn, that was disgustingly awesome.

-Adri

[atsuki255]

BIG TIP: dont learn tornado cut by watching this video, you will never do it, learn and master the tornado BEFORE watching this video

[Cheater1231000]

I cant practise anymore, when i need momentum i fail, just like pen spinning, :( i am learning it for 2 years but it doesnt spin, i dont know why

[atsuki255]

@Cheater1231000 : i'm also penspinning for 2 year, check my channel and change your comment please, don't offend penspinning and flourish like that

Using a lighter grip is still not always working, more tips to get the packet spin one full round?

[Cizburgers]

what type of cards are the easiest to do flourishes with? i dont mean brand but ''type''

[xTigerAkash97x]

@Cizburgers What suits you best, Virtuoso crew members use Alladins (I don't know if with air cussion finish or not), people use Tally Ho's, Bicycle's that sort of stuff. But Bicycle now mostly uses air cussion finish...

[hmm3231]

[D4rkMagic96]

Chuck Norris can do this with one hand behind his back...

[S1A917]

Big Tip Guys!!!!!! :

Keep a very light grip on the center packet!

It allows it to spin easier because there is less friction!

[MrJackers007]

hey can you do a tutorial on the torando cut thx

[FrankysMagicStuff]

@MrJackers007 LOL! He did it in this video...

[MrJackers007]

@FrankysMagicStuff he didnt he just did tips get it right dude

[FrankysMagicStuff]

@MrJackers007 but you can easly learn it here!

[97JigSaw97]

really awwwwwesome

whats the song?

[LittleLead]

I feel like a bad ass for using the same deck of cards that are used in this video haha

[MrPanichou]

Just wanted to know what cards do you use in the video ?

[thevirts]

@MrPanichou Those are blue, non air-cushioned Aladdin 1001s.

-Kev, The Virts

[joshrachel1]

how can jyou use it in a trick

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEE

[GrahamHorgan]

This is probley a dumb question,, but who is the flourisher in the video! Like DAMMM thats crazy how he can do that so fast and perfect. This is better than watching porn :P

[thevirts]

@GrahamHorgan The performer/tip-giver in the video is our very own Daren Yeow, master of badassery and other such stuff. And yes, watching Daren do what he does with a deck of cards is almost better than watching porn. Almost.

-Kev, The Virts

[GrahamHorgan]

@thevirts Thanks for the reply Kevin. :)

[iamcool59]

@thevirts haha....nvr knew kev was still active with the youtube acc now!!!!when u coming back to singapore?

[thevirts]

@iamcool59 I'll be back in Singapore next summer, and for good this time. Last year of college right now... hoo boy.

-Kev, The Virts

[iamcool59]

@thevirts great....love to see u some time soon next year!!!oh and btw...its summer all year here!!

[xTigerAkash97x]

I can't flick the packet in one full round. It doesn't even flick fast when I do it... Any tips?

[thevirts]

@xTigerAkash97x Try using a lighter grip on the packet — that should loosen up the spin a little bit.

-Kev, The Virts

[Cutler90]

@thevirts i got the TIPS but not the STEPS.. how he divide the deck into 3 parts. sorry im newbie :D

[KiraYamato636]

@thevirts wtf you sont even show how to open the packets

[08budokai80]

@KiraYamato636 this is not a tutorial, read the title of the video.

[The4thTenshi]

How can you tell which side to flick? Everytime i flick the packet at the middle, the palm pivot point either slides off or it hits the deck which wont rotate.

[95Barqs1]

the packet keeps spinning off of my pinky. suggestions?

[JollyGreenGordon]

Can you pleeeeaase do this but with commentary/someone talking and walking us through this?

[zittotu96]

please make a tutorial of tornado cut

[ghostj1]

Slow down, man! That's might result in a real tornado!

How do you do that freaking fast? I am no near to it and I haven't seen anyone even that close

[19zerberus]

ehy guys. . i lke your videos! .pls. post more tricks. . thanx

[sashalke]

I use RING finger of the right hand and pinky of left, continue or I must learn tornaddo as here?

[S1A917]

Can you explain your reasoning for the pivot point location? Because I always seem to do better when I pivot on the spot you said not to. Should I stop doing that?

[estajador00]

sorry virts but i dont like this tutorial even if its free you should make it slow !! :(

[PopoRanger]

@estajador00 Because it's not a tutorial!

This video assumes that you already know the basic handling of the Tornado Cut, and is just giving you tips on how to improve on what you already know.

[estajador00]

@PopoRanger you are right! sorry about that.

[manteo9]

How long did you take to do like so?

[mopedman1]

Thanks so much! This helped me with Akira as well.

[chriszotac]

slower plz

[crackytzy]

what type of cards ar those?

[hmm3231]

[hmm3231]

[taciturn1992]

[poopieLSY]

This helped a ton. thanks guys

[silverhathacker]

thanks

[MadsTheMagician]

Well this is great... But I can't get the cards to spin a full 360 degrees... :(

Any help...?

[whataminow]

@BassmrDK Considering ashford created it and not DnD i wouldnt be surprised really

[BassmrDK]

@whataminow Heh... Okay I thought they invented the tornado cut :) I think I'll delete my comment :)

[astropop2]

you go too fast =.=............

[ghostj1]

I can't spin one complete twirl:(

[BassmrDK]

Are you sure you didn't use a cheat code for doing this?

I can't do it. I've watched this video maybey 12 times, but seems to keep impossible!

[therambo220]

When I spin, sometimes I end up pulling cards out of the packet. Any tips on how to prevent this?

[142753869]

When will you be back ^^ ?

[potatoguy100]

just make it in really slow motion so we can see xD its really fast

[WalkerCard]

Ahh, looks cool man. Thanks:)

[TheMagicGuy99]

how do you spin the pack

[TheMagicGuy99]

i have trouble spinning the pack

[PaulTheillusionist]

Thanks a buch! Smooth crystal clear footage and editing! Bravo!

[rsmanyo]

Arrcos?

[thevirts]

@rsmanyo Aladdin 1001s, actually.

-Kev, The Virts

[gishm0z]

can you help me with the speed and momentum ??? how to rely on the momentum of the packet.?

[zeldakid253]

1 mini move in pandora by D&D :D

[Pavao311]

@magiccardguy thanks

[HandProof]

I know how to spin the packet 360 degrees... use a moisturizer to slide the packet corner by itself.. Am I right? that's what I came up with..

[Pavao311]

where can i learn this?

[Pavao311]

where can i learn this?

[Pavao311]

where can i learn this?

[FreshgodxD]

i have been into flourishing for 3 years, is there a way we can do it better than Daren? or maybe 0.1% like Daren which stills a great performance :D

[anphelps27]

Great tutorial. Thank you. Although you make it look a lot easier than it is for me right now. But the one lesson i have learned in my attempt to be a cardist is that every move is so hard until you practice it a bit, then it suddenly becomes easier and easier until you wonder why you had a hard time with it in the first place.

[thevirts]

Yeah, that's a good point. Reminds me of that adage, "the goal of flourishing is to make the difficult look easy, and the easy difficult."

-Kev, The Virts

[PredatorMagic]

@thevirts wooo thats... really wise! Sifu Cardman :)

[anphelps27]

The 4-6 packet is the first one you pull off and then you hold the rest of the cards split into fat apckets, one in each hand. Hope that makes a little sense. I had to watch this about 10 times before i could do it.

[UnknownMagician93]

any tips on 360 tornado?

[cluk619]

how do i find the right pivot point on the pinkie finger? when i spin it the packet keeps spinning off the pinkie..

[xxNecroFlamexx]

u ask Dandre for pro tips ;)

[thevirts]

You probably want to position the corner of the packet so that it's directly in the most fleshy area of the pinky, but not with a grip that's so hard that the packet has no looseness to spin with. It's a bit of a knack, but once you get used to it it'll be just like riding a bicycle. Especially if you *are * using Bicycles.

-Kev, The Virts

[anphelps27]

Had the same problem when I first learned this. Just keep practicing and you will get used to it and it will come natural. Also a tip that helped me was to try and minimize the movement of one hand. That helped me so maybe it will help you.

[thevirts]

Hear about YouTube spam? I haven't until a few hours back I blocked a user with no sweat atall. Just clicked 'Block User' and he got b anned! It was a challenge for me but now I understand it cause was easy to learn.

[peterliciousTV]

@thevirts nice lol

[crazyfuckerguy]

nice!!!

[RobbieBarnby]

i can do the rest of it i just cant spin it... how do u spin the 4-6 cards?????? please help!

[thevirts]

Try holding the 4-6 card packet with a lighter grip; that way, it makes it easier for the cards to spin once your ring finger initiates the movement.

-Kev, The Virts

[m4tpoons]

@thevirts I took this advice and sadly it didn't help. When I attempt to spin the packet with a lighter grip, it moves down my little finger and slips out of my grip. More practice would be the obvious advice, but, I have been trying this for over 2 weeks now to no avail. Please help me!

-Matty

[jr5455]

@thevirts im having the same trouble as robbie i did what u said and i dropped my cards :)

[thehuynh]

how can you flick it 360 degrees? o;

[d3vin92]

BREAKBEAT

[jennyrules11]

why dont u actually tell us how to do it??

[thevirts]

Because the move is by Ashford Kneitel. What we're offering in this video is just our advice on how to make your handling of it better :)

-Kev, The Virts

[jennyrules11]

Okay, Thanks Kev!

[evilmonkey298]

fluorishing is just to hard for me i gusse all just stick with just card tricks

[ohsakman]

How do I get it to spin like that? Should I just practice? It seems that when I flick the packet with my right ring finger, it just moves a little bit, doesn't really spin very much.

[thehuynh]

i dont get it. how can i spin the deck like that? :O

i give it a kinda flick with my right ring finger and it just turns half way. im sure that the pivot points are right. but i dont get the "momentum and weight." can you explain in detail please? :O

[spartan0fretribution]

when doing these tricks is better to use 100% plastic or plastic coated cards? the reason i ask is the weight changes the momentum.

[thevirts]

Standard, air-cushioned cards would probably be your best bet, as it is not just the weight but the friction (or lack thereof) between the cards that affects your flourishing efficiency.

In the case of this video Daren is using Aladdin 1001s, which are actually plastic coated. In the case of a cut this is usually fine, though if you're gunning for more spread-wise flourish such as fans you're better off with a Tally-Ho deck or something similar.

-Kev, The Virts

[FreshgodxD]

it looks so easy when Daren performs :D

[RisingInfinity]

World Wide Web my friend ;)

[alexbenzo]

dude im in the same situation i live in gambia africa..no cards and no magician buy i webcam and we could jam or something

[karkazinho]

ebay..

[TheYoungCardMagician]

Hey Virts; thanks for the tutorial.

I was wondering; the only deck I can get locally are standard Bicycles. Do you (or anyone for that matter) know where I can get any better decks? I live in the UK so it's not great. Can't order online from any US shops like Dan and Daves or Ellusionist. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

[guitardavid79]

Better than Bicycle??? Didn't think anything better existed.

Although for this trick I would think that square corners are a must. The twirl never works, the cards just walk off your hand.

[thevirts]

Apologies for the lewd comments from TheJoshuaTuber, that user was way out of line. Rest assured he's been blocked from commenting on this channel from now on.

Anyway, regarding getting cards in the UK, I'd say try checking out prices for UK-based dealers on eBay—I know of some people who live there who have gotten their cards that way, and for reasonable prices to boot.

-Kev, The Virts

[cardshark299]

@TheYoungCardMagician ebay i live in the uk i get my decks of ebay

[elhierroguzman]

XDDDDD

[elhierroguzman]

man this tornado cut is hard =(

i feel dumb when im trying to do that LOL.

XD

[thevirts]

Don't worry! Daren's completely dumb and, as you can see, he does it just fine LOL

XD

-Kev, The Virts

[KnightGals]

so hard

[thevirts]

That's what SHE said.

-Kev, The Virts

[mrletspl4ygames]

hey dude, what kind of deck are you using in the tutorial? and where did you get that deck?

[thevirts]

That's a blue non air-cushioned Aladdin 1001, which Daren copped from me.

If you aren't able to cop a deck from me, though, I would suggest Dan and Dave Buck's site—they stock the non AC Aladdins for pretty reasonable prices.

-Kev, The Virts

[mrletspl4ygames]

those that they sell at the mamashops. are they the same in quality? and what does it mean that its non air cushioned ?

btw, psps im quite loh so.

last question, is te quality the same as tally ho or is it better or lousier?

ps thanks ^^

[thevirts]

Ah—if you're from Singapore then just get the ones at the 7-11s, mamashops, or even better—Golden Landmark. The difference between air-cushioned Aladdins and the non air-cushioned ones are that the non air-cushioned ones don't suck. You'll see them marked on the box as either 'Smooth Finish' or with no description at all.

As for comparing them to Tally-Ho's, they're definitely a lot harder to handle. I know that a lot of people don't like them, but I tend to use them a lot because

(cont)

[thevirts]

(cont)

I feel you get better practice out of them that way. But hey, that's just me, and I'm a little weird that way... haha.

I'd say go ahead and try them out, see if they float your boat. And if not, they're only 3 bucks anyway, so it shouldn't be too much of a blow to your financial resources.

-Kev, The Virts

[mrletspl4ygames]

HAHA! i also feel so actually leh.

using cards that are harder to handle is indeed a better way of training lo.

for when you use those that are of better quality, they will handle much more easily.

thanks arhs . cya around ^^

[jasonffx01]

is it cheaper in golden landmark?

[thevirts]

Yeah, I'd say that Golden Landmark will probably give you the best deals in town. Plus, the ladies there are very nice and friendly, as anyone who's been a patron there will surely tell you.

-Kev, The Virts

[jasonffx01]

oh. i will go there and buy some soon and get a great deal from aunty betty. :)

[mig550]

dude your tutorials aren't great but they're just FREAKING AWESOME

[patterzs]

Love that you put Can ox instrumental to this!

[BreakingTheCode430]

to fucking hard

thumed down lol

[ahspupil2007]

where can you learn the tornado cut? the tutorial

[thevirts]

It used to be taught in Ashford Kneitel's Tornado Cut DVD, but unfortunately that's been sold out for a while.

-Kev, The Virts

[nanotech71]

very nice tutorial... well made, 5/5

[kwsh950]

i think that the aladdin 1001 deck. Quite common in singapore

[chungzheng]

if i am not wrong, it is just 3 dollars
