Card Flourishes - Helix - Ambrose & Ben

Winner of Dan and Dave's PREQEL contest.

[Watch in HD]

The world is an opponent of our passions.

It is no surprise how time passes so fleetingly in our lives and how we take simple things like a deck of cards for granted but the paradox is that when we look a little deeper and exalt imagination, infinite possibilities abound.

"To see the world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour."
- William Blake

2 pairs of hands combined, 2 styles intertwined. Like the "helix" in our blood, the engine for our minds.

Location: The Helix Bridge
Time: 0000 hrs to 0730 hrs

The idea for the video is as stated above.

I would like to thank the community for inspiring me through the videos they have contributed for the past few years. I would like to thank the people I had the honour of meeting up with on Saturdays, the regular so called "Singapore" gang of guys, you know who you are.

I would like to say that this video would not have been possible if not for the ideas I have gleaned from the community and it is this art that completes me as a person.

Without videos as a medium of thought exchange nothing in this art would have been possible and hence I would like to thank Dan and Dave, TheCuso.info, UnitedCardists as well as Theory 11 for organizing these contests that brings continuity and excitement to the community.

We hope you have enjoyed this video and if so then it has served its intended purpose of community contribution.

Enjoy.

Hey awesome people, sorry for the little hiatus from the flourishing scene. As I have not been actively producing videos for quite some time,
I saw the 'Preqel' contest as an opportunity for a comeback.

As for the video, I would say that it is a fast-paced video packed with synchronized moves. After all the hard work we're pretty satisfied with the end product. Just so you know, we missed a night of sleep for the filming of the video.

Like what Ben had mentioned above, I would like to thank the individuals and communities like UnitedCardists, Theory 11, D&D and TheCuso for holding up contests and keeping the community alive.

Now, enjoy one and a half minute of your life.

[DimitriArleri]

i'm usually not a fan of 2 handed cut vids, but every single move here have something special and unique ! awsome vid :)

[nastydodger]

Guys we thank you for all the support you have shown us. The comments be it good or bad are necessary. We sincerely think the other videos were just as good if not better than ours.

If there was one thing this contest taught us it was that editing can achieve so much more in enhancing the quality of a video and when relating messages across as evidenced by Micheal Herp's and The Virt's video. We will will work towards that direction.

No matter, we feel all contestants are winners,
