Wow.

It's rare for people to be able to keep up speed like that and not sacrifice style. I'm very impressed.

One of my favorite videos of yours. Also, I love how the song is called "Here comes the King" it just seems to fit. lol

3 Videos in just 2 days. I love your style and speed. It remindes me of Richards style. How long have you been flourishing.

I've been throwing cards for three years but flourishing and doing magic seriously for a year and a half now. All these videos are older ones of mine so in a day or two you will stop seeing them for a while.
Also my father took our camera to his office with him and now its broken. / : If my family doesn't get it fixed I will probably have to buy a new one for myself.

I agree with Dave. Even if it isn't sped up, it just looks messy. Nothing near smooth - but lets just say different person, different style.

So you get 3.5/5 from me.

I would have to say that your style can get a little choppy. I think you're sacrificings smootheness for speed. Don't get me wrong, you're really fu*kin' good but you do have a couple of hic-ups here and there. That may be the camera not keeping up with you. If your flow matched your speed you WILL make peoples minds melt and drip out of there noses.
4/5

Cheers

(Score: 1) 9 months ago

very fast! good doing your routine in all one continuous shot.

one thing is very strange: the realtime "clock" in the lower right hand corner... only goes to 2/10th and then goes up to the next second... like 1. 10 seconds, 1. 20 seconds, 2. 0, 2. 1, 2. 2, 3.0 ...

so what the heck is up with that ? still a good combo though.... but i still think it looks kinda choppy which could be from sped up or maybe just your style. you should do karate! 3/5 from me dogg

ARGH still no credits okay would it really be that painful to put a two second credits at the end of even ONE of your videos? obviously you got your inspiration from the Buck twins - for example the "mary jane" move and the sybils - why not give em a little credit?

To Trashman:
I just bought the Trilogy several weeks ago. I made this routine before I even knew Dan and Dave existed and before I owned any cardisty DVDs.
The sybil is my own variation on crazy cuts (which to my knowledge is very old and I am ignorant as to it's creator.) and two of the false cuts at the start are easly recognised as the Swing and Trinary cut (Which I think were created by Daryl).
I have taken film and photography classes and attended an arts school for three years and I find that adding credits to a short film makes it look amature and over dramatic.

Bizar says:

(Score: 0) 9 months ago

Sure there are exceptions like Bone Ho's Furious Angels for example, but what about his Viper video, or the Eye cut video? Does Daniel Madison put credits at the end of his videos? Does Theory11 put credits at the end of their short videos? What about Richard? Did he mention all the artist names at the end of the Decknique teaser in the form of credits? If I am asked I don't have a problem crediting my videos as best as I can in the discription or in public or private comments. And I HAVE mentioned other artist names in other videos when I felt it appropriate (just check my youtube profile).
Ever since I first posted in the media section I noticed that a simple missunderstanding lead to some uneeded friction between us Trashman and I would like to put that behind us.
Thank you for taking the time to view my work and for rating my videos.

hey dude i'm not bashing you or mad at you as a person... i just have a different opinion about credits among other things. you think that it's amature and overdramatic to put credits? I think it's egotistical and disrespectful NOT to put credits.

regardless of our differences in opinion, I still think you're a bad azz magician and flourisher and cinematographer and editor, and I'm glad you are taking the time to share your work with us!

Jason Soll says:

Okay...

Why on earth would you put a timer on there? I mean, the clip could be editted as fast as you'd like, and the timer would stay at normal speed! If anything, I'd say that gives the illusion of it not being sped up. Putting a clock in the background would work, but you would have been just as well off doing a voice over of you counting aloud.

I think it was sped up for sure...no question. If it isn't and time travels at a different speed where you live, then get muuuuuuuuuuuch smoother, because it looks really bad.

3 from me

there is some time difference... each second there is actually 4/5 shorter than here. it only goes up to 2/10th of "our" seconds, before incrementing

i agree with jason here, puting a digital timer at in the video doesnt mean that the video isnt sped up, you should show an actual clock in the background to prove anything. and also, i dont see anything great about this routine, it has no flow whatsoever

Why should I have to prove myself to anyone? This video was made over a month ago and I train daily. I'm aware of my own skill level and so are the people that realy know me.
As for smoothness if anyone has any advise on how exactly does one trains to become smoother I would love the help.

well, the speed is crazy to me
but as i learn XCM, it should be smooth (i think u did smooth enough) n entertain
seeing cuts that fast isn't to entertain for me
maybe u should slow down a bit, n make people who watch it absorb all the move very well in their minds

the multiple false cut is great 5/5 from that
the songs are great n intense too 5/5
ur speed is crazy, but for show off (XCM) i'm not too entertain 3/ 5 from me (sorry)

Just do your flourishes slower until it looks really smooth then gradually speed it up. If you get in a habit of choppiness there really isn't any going back. By the way you still have insane talent and personally i hope you post a tutorial

if you feel no need to prove yourself, why do you have a timer in the bottom right of the video? and also, u express that this routine was shot "in real time". clearly you are trying to prove to people that you are doing this routine in real time.

I want the viewer to realize its in real time and realize the speed of its completion becouse thats the point of the video but if people want to challenge that claim I realy don't care anymore in fact I take it as a complement.

I'll just quote Daren (or was it Huron ?) : "Smoothness gives the illusion of speed".

You're fast, there's no way anyone could argue here. Maybe that's the faster you can get...but is it the smoother you can get ? I don't think so. I also don't think that speed should be a goal in XCM, it's more smth that comes naturally with time. It's like playing on a piano : if you want to play fast, then begin slowly...

Yeah that timer in the bottom corner doesn't really help convincing us that you're doing these things in real time. I suggest placing an object in the background that moves naturally at a constant pace, a fan is one thing, or a pendumlum. You keep making videos like this no one will believe your speed if you keep talking about it.
