Andrei’s Two
Posted on: April 6, 2008
Here are just two little moves from me, a special thanks to Chris Kenner and Jonas Haglund. (originally “XXX”… presently “XX” with a slightly smoother closer).

wow im surprised that this video is barely being posted .. its been up on Andrei’s Vimeo account for a while now.

Hmm, though I haven’t seen the first move before, i dont quite like it as much as the second move. The only thing i dont like about the xtended-looking move is the closer. I think you should either do it slower, because it looks a little choppy done fast, or find a different way to close it. Great work though, keep em coming :)

Yep the closer is smoother than it is in this video and I realize that. Thanks :)

Damn, Andrei, Your just Insane. Easily one of the best flourishers ever, I love the way you think man.

Thanks guys glad you liked it, I didn’t think this video would get that many views but Cuso found it on Vimeo and asked to blog it.
Scott thanks bro, like I said before, you and Sean are one of those few people that make me keep going. You guys are like my steroids haha.

Andrei! Seriously man, I knew you had cutting-skillz, but I did NOT epect that!! This video, as well as jsut being plain awesome, shows your diversity and creativity, and u never cease to amaze me!
One thing’s for sure man, cardistry/xcm/flourishing/ whatever u call it… u make it look GOOD.
Thank you! ur an inspiration.

Oh, and although i really appreciate the compliment…
Dont do drugs. =P x
April 7th, 2008 at 10:05 am
cold coffe eh… ok ok…

steroids also shrinks your balls and can give you man-titties if you go off them!
man-titties aside, I liekd this video, although the first one could have been better (rahter than just dragging one card around a bunch of times, maybe use that as one small part of a larger combo?)
but the “sin city” effect actually looked pretty cool in this and the second cut was done nicely, i agree with enigma maybe a little smoother would have been better.
I kind of want to see you do the “insantity ladder display” in another video but continously so I can see how its made! lol
thanks cuso for culling all these videos for us.
