TheCuso’s Nebula Tutorial Released

Posted on: May 2, 2008

Ok, finally i decided to release this move to the public.

I think it’s my best creation and though it might seem an easy and stupid cut it has a lot of potential.

Nebula is an utility move that it’s meant to be incorporated into more complex and elaborated flourishes.

As an elegant alternative to the swing cut it can also be used to divide the deck in two halves in the middle of your favourite one handed cuts routine.

I like to use it before making a smear fan in the right hand and a carnahan in the left to show a circle.

I know many people (includding my friends Jonas Haglund, Huron Low, TicaL and others) are using this move and have came up with fantastic variations and combos that might eventually be made public for you.

I had a hard time deciding if i should release this move or keep it for me and my friends but you know how i am and how i think, and for those of you that dont i’ll tell you…

I think this move has a lot of potential as i said so keeping it wouldn’t make our art progress in any way.

So here is my little gift for you to experiment.

I would like to see hundreds of video responses with your ideas upon this concept and of course i would like you to TAKE YOUR TIME to comment on what do you think about the move (what is nice and what is not…) so please stay away from saying: “nice”, “wow”, “great stuff” “thanks” “keep it up” kind of comments, PLEASE! :P

I want to thank everyone that watches my stuff, all my subscribers at youtube and specially in my blog (those of you that take me seriously :P), all my flourishing friends and the video editor who asked me to keep his name private.

Thanks a lot once again and enjoy!

It’s a great move Alejandro, it’s one of those moves that can act and serve multiple purposes…deck splits, cuts, and the versatility of having both packets in different grip allowing for faster and smoother setup/transition.

I like it!

Simple yet stylish cut man! Nice…I’m going to use it in one of my upcoming videos .. I think it might go well as an opener to the Mary Jane flourish ;)

one thing though… i Miss your dark and old video editing! Otherwise, it’s still a stylish cut :)

Its an ok move that i mite use, but the whole “i have finally decided to release to public” is completely useless because this is not some sort of great underground move. I could have figured this move out just by watching a performance. Got lost in intro and then realized that lil move was the actualy cut>_>

tg murphy’s deck flip, under pressure, jerry’s deck twirl, flipback and so on are things like this one.

imo

Of course Cuso…I didn’t say it was a bad move, because it could add to flourishes to add the extra effect, but my point was not to sort of…hype it too much.

LOL @ Jay. At least some of us have a better than youtube quality version :)

I liked this move from the first time you showed it to me. Its a nice way to do a deck division.

It was nice that this move was for a small group first. But now everyone can experience it.

I’m sorry I wasn’t very enthosiastic about your creation at first, Alejandro. Because now I see just the simpleness of it is what makes it special. It’s just a nice new way to split a deck… a nice variation to a swing cut or swivil cut.

I think I’ll get back to the original tutorial again. Finally ‘practise’ this… Although it’s not for the elite group anymore, at least I still have the better quality version! Hehe xD

Hmm, i’ve just got an email from youtube telling me it’s been got down due to music rights infringement.

I might or might not reupload it somewhere else. I wanna refilm it.
