Hey guys!

Here's a tutorial from us on 5 essential tips to perform the Tornado.

This is not a tutorial on how to do the move itself, but rather the little details that maximize the visual quality of the card flourish.

This card flourish tutorial is for the guys who already know the Tornado, and want to delve deeper into the finer details of this modern classic.

Enjoy!

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

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

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

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

  • @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.

  • Big Tip Guys!!!!!! :

    Keep a very light grip on the center packet!

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

  • I've only been playing with cards for about 3 months now. I'm starting to get the hang of some of the basic/intermediate moves. My word on the tornado cut is this: Today I just realized that yea, I can do the tornado cut. Not very well, however I am a lot better than I was 2 months ago when I saw this video. This is one of those things that you practice everyday alongside those moves that you can learn in a day or two. However after a while you will get the hang of. It just takes time :)

  • where can i find a tutrial for this trick?

  • it is not fair how you have such long fingers

  • 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.

  • 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 :/

  • amazingg

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

  • I will never be able to do this :L

  • 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

  • Daren Yeow kicks ass
