Sweet opener for my favorite game. 😐 52 Pickup.

Next video will be a card flick or flourish Tutorial, you decide.

My favorite part of this Tutorial is when I harness the power of the light. #Lightbender

I started to practice card and coin tricks around 2008, never practiced enough and then faded only picking up a deck of cards rarely until 2012 when I was hurt and lost use of my right hand/arm. Over the course of 6-7 years I couldn't do anything with my right hand including my favorite things - playing guitar, gaming with a controller, working out, etc. and certainly not magic. After years of rehabilitation and the subsequent nervous system disorder I developed went into remission, I'm finally able to use my right hand. I've realized that regaining dexterity in both hands can be done with card flourishes and tricks. I have learned more from Chris Ramsay in 2 days than I ever did in the 4 years I tried to learn before getting hurt. Amazing. And for you small handed people, first of all, don't give up. All of these flourishes and tricks are possible with small hands. Secondly, if you're still frustrated, invest in only bridge sized decks. That will help. Either way, thank you, Chris Ramsay!! You are my personal physical therapist.

This was really cool, just starting cardistry!!!

I'm loving your tutorials, Chris! I've been doing magic for a few years, but now I'm getting more interested in cardistry - LOVE your stuff, man - Thanks!

You Chris are my ultimate reason i do magic and the fact to be a chilled and prepared.. I have been doing magic a year and a half now and have been watching learning from you. Please do not fade away... You make your future and do not need to listen and realise rude comments.....Your style of magic is perfect to me and make doing magic for me just the funnest thing in the world. Thank you bud!

Excellent beginner tutorial. This was probably the first flourish I've learned from your videos some time ago. Much love, Chris!

You are the best combination of research and practical! I don't know why there are very less subscribers!

The first 15 seconds is gold😆 amazing cinematography and music

Dude! I'm a beginner, just started a few weeks ago. This Flourish is fun as hell!!! Thanks, Brother...

Perfect kind of flourish for someone trying to learn the art, thank you

You are the man, chris! Grettings from chile!

I loved Cyclone and it turned out to be much easier than I thought. Thanks Chris for these videos, I would go with card flick. Hug from Spain!

Impressive! Love that little flourish, thanks for sharing :) This is probably the first flourish I was able to do first try without dropping any cards :D

Yo yo yo Chris your videos for beginners are awesome! I am beginner too and you help me a lot.Thank you.

Great videos! Your tutorials are amazing please keep making then

Who's watching this during quarantine in 2020?

Am I the only one who finds this "beginner" shit really hard

Real nice Chris, thanks for that! As for your next tutorial, a card flick sounds good. Although I wouldn't mind getting a flourish tutorial afterwards.

Coming back gives me so many memories this video was the start of my cardistry carrer

Hey chris, love your tutorials and your camera, it's focus and good color grade touched

Wow sir. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Means a lot 😊

Ramsay i really appreciate what you're doing and i really like ur style and everything . Awesome Subscribe and like this guy he deserves it !

1st of ur videos i watch..its neat and simple..thanks..!gona watch the rest right now.♣

When he mentioned the proper name of the prerequisite I had a slight moment of panic. Then when he did it, I was like, "OOOHHHH. Yeah, I know that one." I learned it elsewhere and never heard it called that before. Being that Chris is the professional cardist, I will trust he knows the name of it better than I, I've just seen it refered to as simple things like "One handed drop cut," "One handed TP Cut," and a few more relating to the triangular shape just before the cut is complete.

This is a really nice flourish and i'm enjoying you're tutorials. I just need to clean this one up.

Wow ur the best teacher for cardistry!

This is so awesome! Keep up the great work

That proud little grin when you first said 3pac shakur 😍😂

HAHA that radiant magic though XD btw, nice video!! thanks for sharing!! really mesmerizing!

Man, your damn right. Your awesome. I never saw such a nice swing cut ;) 3pac Shakur thats damn cool.

Wow thanks for this amazing video exactly on my birthday..

Thanks man, i love this flourish.

Very clean and cool! Thank you for this man (:

hay Chris I shared it with another fellow magician and he said he loved it and she is flawless at it now

Wonderful , its so elegant

we need more flourishes man!

Awesome, thanks Chris!

As a card magician I respect a good flourish and think that with a bit of magic added they are a beautiful thing

Music in Your videos are pretty epic man, when can I find it? Sorry to stray away from the flourish

wow thanks man I´m a big fan from El Salvador !! :D

Lol just effortless that would take a long time for me to try that but that's slick man thats awesome af 🤘😎

I'm a complete beginner, I've been watching some of your tutorials today and have been enjoying learning from you. the tutorials are really clear, explanation, demonstration and even the production of the videos is really great! I had surgery a little while ago and have to spend a couple of weeks horrizontal, so I'm gonna absolutely blast this stuff! thanks again!

Hey man strangely I came across you looking for the magicians season 3 trailer haha. Anyway I'm addicted to flourishing and this was the first one I've learned but I got it down and there's no stopping... So thanks man for introducing me to something I now love.

I have a quick question... When performing the Charlier Cut, I sometimes that the bottom card of the top deck (that I'm going to move under) slides out and blocks the bottom deck from continuing on. Any idea of how to stop that from happening?

When I switch my fingers so my index and thumb are holding the small packet it hits the top right corner of the pack I'm holding in my left hand

Hey Chris! I love this move =]

Thanks im your fan since 2017 man

Hey Chris! Great content on your channel. I enjoy your humor lol can you make a video explaining what cards should be included in a deck? Maybe the different types of decks made and their different purposes. I've searched KZfaq and can't find the answer. Thanks!

I named this flourish on the shift haha it's such a neat flourish

Ohh that's so easy to do i like this card flourish please make another one easy card flourish :) :)

as before, I think this is a beautiful explanation and demo

I like to start the top cut when it gets over the two fingers then drop part of the deck for the charlie then finish the spin around the middle finger then finish the charlie cut it keeps the cut looking real fluid instead of waiting to the end to do the charlie I guess just start the charlie a little early instead of right at the end makes it look like a lot is going on but their isnt

omg love this fidget thank youuu

Love this!!

simple but Clean, ty for tutorials

All this other instructors are bad but u are really good at doing it the first trick I learned from u is the snap change

super easy to learn and looks extremely smooth and sexy. Very nice tutorial and trick!

3:59 this happens every time for me

I like it!!! My subscription from Russia!!!

Ricky Jay, on the most important thing he learned from Charlie Miller: not just to practice, but "to consciously try to do the trick better each time you do it". (Good advice for life, as well as cards.)

just a little question: are there any movements during the rotation of the cards in the right hand that should be done faster? I mean, to improve the effect or something like that. Hope you understand what I mean

What kinds of cards do you recommend a beginner to use for practicing flourishes such as these... just any regular $2 deck or higher quality?

if i use my left hand for some flourishes, and my right hand for some other flourishes, is it kinda bad? i should practise to one hand all of the flourishes? cause really i can't do many of them with my right or left hand, and im kinda mixed up

Really easy to do, perfect for beginners, well taught, good job !

Practicing with you and at 5:34 you pulled a joker, and by some cardistry god intervention I did too. 😆

I dont understand when how you made the packet mone when you let go of your middle finger when ever i try the packet doesnt move.. PLEASe HELP ME

Awesome homie

how do you do the card fan that you did at the begining of this video?

Very nice its awesome

Just got into cardistry

i like the style of your videos

i put a revolution cut in there and it looks so cool

You are super awesome dude.👔

wow that was awsome while i was doing the same when i pulled off the mini packet it was the same card king of clubs

Okay so at first I hated this trick. Just because I couldn’t do the card slide around my finger. But one day I got bored and just practiced the finger slide and now it’s muscle memory for me to do this trick if I’m not thinking about what to do and it’s to cool. It’s weird because it’s so simple but when it flows it looks so nice so now it’s one of my favorite cuts.

TIP: when learning the Charlier start cutting a quarter of the deck not half its easier with less cards

At 0:00 in the intro it says yang the bunny who's a cardistry Chris mentions in one of his other videos.

After a while of practicing my pinky started to get these like cuts x3

How did you learn the portal card trick I'm a big fan and would love to learn

Thanks Chris! :)

Hey Chris love your vids! That move you do at 5:48 do you have a tutorial for that? I don't know what its called and i can't seem to find it. Could you help me out?

It's very very hard to do a Charlier cut with a full deck of cards on a non-dominant hand. I'm learning to be more ambidextrous but it's very hard it's been taking a couple months but I think I'm getting it
