A lot of you requested a performance video from me so here it is, along with some of the best european flourishers and card manipulators out there, we put this out together to share our passion with you guys.
Sit back and feed your eyes with this visual little candy.
This was shot in October 2008 at the Magic Weekend 2008 convention in Sweden, Lund.
thanks to Allan Hagen for his awesome job on editing this and to everyone who attended to the meet up.
It was awesome.

Wonderful, and Cuso, you need to make a video man, your moves are getting sick.

December 2nd, 2008 at 12:48 am
Cuso –
I think this is a lovely little video – it really captures the energy and passion you and your gang bring to your work.
Bravo!

The only thing better than XBM was definitely that Nebula Sequence. Great moves from everybody, and Awesome editing Allan!

The video was incredible…
I totally agree that alejandro needs to make a solo video, it’s amazing how much we’ve all watched you progress since those first ‘tutorials’ of yours. :P
December 2nd, 2008 at 10:57 am
Really incredible.
Quiza si hicieras este tipo de cosas en españa te seguiria mas gente y ayudarias a otra tanta que no tenemos muy claro como empezar en esto. UN saludo y un video genial
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Mola muchooooooo!!!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:08 pm
@J El problema es que no hay mucha gente interesada en el tema aunque supongo que con una pequeña “subvención” por parte de alguna empresa/asociación de magia todo se podría hablar hehe.

December 2nd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
this is awesome…i love the beginning editing with the names…it’s awesome…allan u put your everything into it…
December 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 am
@ TheCuso, si miras en cualquier sitio en el que se hable de magia en español, a los que queremos aprender este arte nos echan a patadas diciendonos que eso es solo practica y tenemos que refugiarnos en sitios como este o T11 para ver o intentar aprender un poco aun sin tener ni idea de ingles. No creo que sea necesario un patrocinador para montar un florituras.blogspot.com no se…
Un saludo

I love this video. It looks like as if you are really cool person. Hopefully I get the chance to come to MW anytime in the future.

Robin

Cool, wish I could’ve been there (XD, you guys probably wouldn’t have let me be there anyway). This is one of the best cardistry vids I’ve seen in quite a while (which is really saying something).
December 4th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
With cool I mean simpatic .

December 5th, 2008 at 8:01 am
Awesome video. I know I’ve said this to you before, but that combo was sweet. I also like the 2 card twirl. Is that original? Props to Allan.

where do you buy your cards?
do you buy them more cheaply?
or else how come you use rare cards?
