[yoloop93]

[SinfuI]

@yoloop93 Brother down, Sam roberts

[KeitoussaiSoD]

Are Dan and Dave that rich that they could just toss those cards away :( But then again... I guess it only costs about a good 2 $ for the actual production of those cards for them.. hm.

[073kira]

Hey Kev...

how long are you in for flourishing?

and can you give me advice except for practicing? ^_^

[kevhonline]

I've been flourishing for over 6 years now. As for practice tips, I'd suggest starting slow and then only working your way to performing a flourish more quickly once you've become completely familiarized with the motions involved. That way you learn to become smooth, and not choppy.

-Kev, The Virts

[073kira]

yeah...

i can do it quickly sometimes..

but several times...

the packet just goes soft like they go opposite each other...

does card matter's too?

i am practicing on standard bicycle..

btw THANK YOU VERY MUCH KEV !

[kevhonline]

The type of cards you use doesn't matter so much as how much practice you put into them, though at the very least you should try and use an air-cushioned, poker-sized deck of cards.

And yeah, I know that the Aladdins I use aren't air-cushioned, but what can I say... I'm just awesome that way.

-Kev, The Virts

[073kira]

thank you very much for this kev...

btw...

im on jackson 5 right now...

for how long did you make your jackson 5 smooth?

[kevhonline]

I actually don't do the Jackson 5. Both Dave and Daren do it way better than me, so I just leave it to the while I work on other stuff.

-Kev, The Virts

[073kira]

ok..

thank you very much anyway for your time...

cheers :)

[87Millerable]

where can i learn revolver and roundabout?

[kevhonline]

They actually haven't been released yet—I will, however, be teaching them through my group Virtuoso. Stay tuned to our mailing list at TheVirts[dot]com to get notified of when our new stuff is coming!

-Kev, The Virts

[87Millerable]

cheers kev

[pleasend]

Hey Kev, I was just wondering was this the first time you met Dave?

Cheers,

Will

[kevhonline]

This was about the second time, actually—I first met him during a summer visit to Cali in '06.

-Kev, The Virts

[JoeMoDro1000]

i could have used that deck

[87Millerable]

what are the flourishes at 1.20 and 2.00 cheers

[SKSleighofHand]

At 1:20 it is 00.327.0000 or 00.327.0002. Can't remember which is which. I may have to check again. It can be found called The System by Dan and Dave Buck. At 2:00, it is Kevin Ho's move called Roundabout. Correct me if I am wrong.

[kevhonline]

Yeah, SKSleighofHand is pretty much on it—00.327.0000 is at 1:20, and I do a combination of Revolver and Roundabout at 2:00.

-Kev, The Virts

[teotobi]

what is he doing at 1:38 pliz tell me

[kevhonline]

At 1:38 Dave is doing the Leno Cut.

-Kev, The Virts

[WH2695]

hey kev are u still creating new flourishes??

[kevhonline]

Yes!

I just don't show them to anyone.

-Kev, The Virts

[WH2695]

u should make some videos, its cool watching u perform!!!

[OOOO191]

Wernt They Jerrys Nuggets He Put In The Bin

[kevhonline]

No.

[OOOO191]

Thank Fk For That i Would Of Jumped in The Bin After Them Lol

[pickev88]

Please look at my magic videos. I do not have that many subscribers and comments. Please compete in my contest. Look at my channel. Personal message me.

[MrMagic00ace]

whats the song i love it ?

[ProjekMagik]

what a racoon its good

[TheCardistCooper]

quick some1 go get that deck out of bin dave/dan touched it omg

[MorphingMagician]

That was awesome! except the end made me cry lol

[TomMAGIChands]

yo kev wats the deck spin thing @ 0:33 called, looks cool

[kevhonline]

It's a move by Huron that can be found at the end of my tutorial for 'Corkscrew Closer', available on my website.

-Kev, The Virts

[cardshark299]

@kevhonline what is your website

[kevhonline]

Check the 'more info' section in the sidebar.

-Kev, The Virts

[chumanXD]

whats the name of the deck that dave uses

[kevhonline]

Those would be the blue/purple Wynn decks.

-Kev, The Virts

[cheuk217]

2:40

maybe is the longest waterfall XD

[RamoRM07]

hey kev i know you used sony vegaa to edit this video and i was wondering if you could tell me how you expanded the text like @ 0:24

[kevhonline]

For that, you'll have to use keyframes and a text feature called 'tracking'. There's probably a few tutorials for these online, so a quick Google search should probably do the trick.

-Kev, The Virts

[RamoRM07]

thanks kev that helped alot

[MRmagic1699]

2:40 hahahaah :D

[WH2695]

im going to the restroom, would you like to come....NAA its alright, the bucks are the best!!

[149scrat]

Is 0:42 'Lethal'?

[kevhonline]

No.

[149scrat]

Sorry lol. It looks like it  =/

[TomMAGIChands]

Yo Kev Are You Performing * Sick And Twisted Wings Of The Mockingbird * At 1:04 Look Very Cool?

[kevhonline]

Yeah, it was a small variation that I was playing around with at the time. I've since come up with a new version with a more grandiose ending—will definitely be putting it on the new Virt project coming up :)

-Kev, The Virts

[TomMAGIChands]

Good. I Prefer Flourishes Such As That Than Cuts Ect. Oh Check Out My Recent Uploaded Vid When You Have Spare Time Cheers

[kevhonline]

Will do. By the way, you do know that you don't have to capitalize the first letter of every word in a sentence, right?

-Kev, The Virts

[YourRightHandMan]

@kevhonline HAHAHAHAHA Ya I Think We All Noticed That (jk)

[TomMAGIChands]

lol its a habbit, ill try not too

[WH2695]

U are insane!! Nd u are in cooperation with the buck brothers...AWESOME!! Make more videos with them

[MastahMich]

Haha the waterfall in recycler

[shark10666]

why do so many people use Daren for editing?

is it because he's a legend???

[kevhonline]

Plain and simple... yeah.

[Linkgreed]

what version of sam roberts brother down is it. cause when i look it up, it sounds different

[kevhonline]

Yeah—it seems like this version is slightly different from the one that finally ended up in the album. Weird... haha.

-Kev, The Virts

[Linkgreed]

whats the flourish at 00:36

[149scrat]

Raccoon by Kev!

[vendeta4]

ur crazy :O why did u throw cards xD

[149scrat]

@vendeta4

Think about it - at least they weren't Jerry's! (Well, they might havew been. o_0)

[adam04081997]

this vid is awesome!!!!!

i learnt almost 10 of these flourishes from this vid and a;ll my friends say their awesome.

ty kevhonline

[SeltsamerPilz]

Love it! =)

[SeleNazzy]

i think i started flourishing cause of this video :)

i think i went through your channel and found out sybil 947 or something :)

that the cut i started flourishing with :)

[TataTerrence]

Would like to have a nice talk with you kev.

[zanko151]

Today is this flourish meet up exactly 2 years old....it is a great video..!!!:)

[kevhonline]

Wow, you're right - haha. Time flies when you're having fun.

-Kev, The Virts

[bingbangtube]

wow haha :P i remember watching this video over and over again on my ipod :P and my friends called me the guy that watches card shuffling videos on the ipod

[TataTerrence]

Kevin, will your next product come out to be your flourish?

[kevhonline]

Perhaps - and if it is, it'll definitely be through Virtuoso ;)

-Kev, The Virts

[TataTerrence]

Oic, nice talking with you man. =)

[kevhonline]

Nope, not Jerry's - those were the New Fan Backs that he used in the video.

-Kev, The Virts

[CrazyKarter]

hey kev,

so whats up with you guys?(the virts that is)

seems like after the anaconda dvd release you havent been around much..

or is it youve been preparing for something awesome?

(the truth please :PP)

[kevhonline]

Due to all the work WLD '09 required, we've been taking a little bit of a breather for a while, just so all the dust can settle and we can finally move on to the next phase.

So while it might be a few months before you see the next major contribution from us, rest assured that we have it all planned out and are actually sorting through some pre-prod work for it now - do stay tuned to our mailing list to get notified of the latest updates and other news :)

-Kev, The Virts

[chungzheng]

wats the move called from 0:56 to 0:59

[BWoodhouseSOH]

Ginastaire Double. Found in Sleightly Magical and andthensome.

-Ben

[TataTerrence]

hi~ where can i find all the flourishes done by kevin in this video? thanks!

[kevhonline]

Mostly untaught, though the one-card flourish 'Raccoon' is explained in my book 'Smooth Operations.'

-Kev, The Virts

[TataTerrence]

Thanks for your reply kevin! But why i saw dan, dave,chris and jordan doing all the flourish that u are doing in blackpool 2009?

[kevhonline]

I know the Bucks personally, and have taught them a few of my flourishes. Odds are they probably passed the ideas on to Chris & Jordan when they met at Blackpool, so on so forth.

-Kev, The Virts

[TataTerrence]

O i see.... Too bad i cant learn your flourish...

By the way your book was nice Kev!

Cheers!

[Gman9855]

hey could someone please tell me what the flourish is between 1:31 and 1:37? i see them doing it all the time and its one of my favorites to watch!

[kevhonline]

That would be one of the Molecule 4 variations by Dan, which you can learn off of Disc 2 of The Trilogy.

-Kev, The Virts

[karkazinho]

Molecule 4: NY

[ChrisMagic5]

Thats a hard decision it depends on what you like better one beatiful move that can change your card tricks forever or smooth operations where you can learn many tricks and flouishes that are great

hope this helps,

Chris

[cripplerG]

Surfaced or smooth Operations

[DreamusEnto]

Thanks for the best moment of my Life Kev!

It's so nice to sit home with the deck of Bicycle in my hands and watch these Flourishes and just dream about them..

Keep it going! :)

I hope i can meet you someday! :)

// Ento

[TheArrco]

Hey kev,

Could you let me know what the flourish at 0;41 - 0;47 is called?

Thanks!

[specterhaterew]

you know, the revolver cut may have thousands of closers but i have messed with molecule four and that has thousands of starters

~Cheers

[kevhonline]

you know, a guitar may have six strings but i have messed with a piano and that has 88 keys

[specterhaterew]

hahaha, but what are you implying cause if it is insulting me i am hurt:)

[SuicideBoy555]

Hey Kev,

Great Video Man, I have been watching it since it came out. Much Respect.

-Jon R.

[davidjmisner]

Hey Kevin I'm too lazy to look through past comments, what's the song? Bump.

[kevhonline]

"Brother Down" by Sam Roberts, off of his album "We Were All Born in a Flame".

...you lazy bastard.

-Kev, The Virts

[davidjmisner]

I think sarcasm is hard to get across through text. They need a "sarcasm" button next to underline and italics.

[josiewhales]

best card video i have ever seen

[CalebSwartz558]

nevermind, found it in the comments

[CalebSwartz558]

I've heard alot about roundabout, where can I see a performance of it.

[guikatinskas]

hey kev where i can learn roundabout ??????

[kevhonline]

There's no official tutorial for the move yet, though I will definitely be releasing it through my group Virtuoso in the future. Do sign up for our mailing list at thevirts[dot]com if you haven't already to get notified of when it's out!

-Kev, The Virts

[vintageuser]

kev ? have or can u do a tutorial on that last trick please that was really good xD and i love ur tutorials, as expected i am rubbish at flourishing but i lern things from ur tutorials ;D

[kevhonline]

Haha... if you're referring to the 'vanish' that Dave does at the end, then I'm sorry to have to disappoint you - there's no tutorial for it, because it's not really a trick. Thanks for the support, though!

-Kev, The Virts

[vintageuser]

oh ryt thanks

[bicycleghost41]

nope

[UnknownMagician93]

so kevin, would you say you are mainly a magicianor mainly a flourisher?

-Dan

[kevhonline]

In real life I tend to perform magic more; however, when it comes to overall practice, flourishes definitely win.

-Kev, The Virts

[ZimFasa]

What type of cards are your favorite/you use most often?

[kevhonline]

Non air-cushioned Aladdin 1001's.

-Kev, The Virts

[TheAceofNate]

is there a reason you prefer them?

[kevhonline]

Three, actually:

1. Cheap

2. Easily available in Singapore

3. Awesomely subtle one-way design...won't say what it is, stare at it long enough and you might see it ;)

-Kev, The Virts

[TheAceofNate]

thanks. im going to go stare at my deck now

[TheAceofNate]

i found the one way back design =)

[bicycleghost41]

please tell!!!

[biggershoesatbush]

Beautiful.....

[poiisawesome]

How long do you guys practice every day?

[kevhonline]

A lot.

More specifically, I tend to have a deck of cards around me all the time, so I pretty much practice with them every chance I get. I lost count of how many hours I put in a long time ago, but if there's any advice I'd give, it's that the more the better... hehe.

-Kev, The Virts

[bublik11]

damn it lol why throw the cards hahaha

i use them till the edges start to split lol and i got like 25 decks now and 3 of them is unusable

[PyroSsd]

Oh im seeing some of tudor cuts done by Kev so much more elegant!!!

Excelent Kev.

Cheers,

Antonio

[shr4yas]

[profoundmagic]

[YouCantResist21]

[YouCantResist21]
