Samsung Cingular – BlackJack Commercial
Posted on: July 29, 2008Some of the old-timers of cardistry would have remembered the above-posted commercial when it appeared towards the end of 2006 and that it caused some rave reactions.
For the benefits of the new guys, Cingular BlackJack was the first ever (If my memory served me right) TV commercial that incorporated card-flourishing maneuvers.
It really amazed the flourishers (yes, that’s us) that the commercial creators got inspired by past flourishing videos like Jam Time and Trenchcoat Flourishes. It is said that the animator used the 2 videos as reference for the actual modeling of the animation.
Looks like the art of cardistry is exerting some influence on the media slowly, but surely.
PS. How funny that I categorize this under “News” but this information is already 2 years old.
