November 17th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I’ve never seen anything like this before, I’m actually… Amazed, like seriously amazed, I’m actually amazed at how amazed I am o.O
Nice job :)
November 17th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Indeed
November 17th, 2009 at 10:24 pm

November 17th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
what the hell? Why is this soooo good?
November 17th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
That’s what pushing the art forward means!
November 17th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
I QUIT.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
That’s why I love this art. One the best creative minds. Absolutely sublime.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
I came. Twice. HARD.
Amazing.

tons of creativity! Every move was something new. loved the spins and , double/opp way spins, the armspread ideas , and the cuts were just totally new to me! Many moves made me say “oh!” out loud.
some of the execution was a bit sloppy but I didn’t really care that much , I could see the greatness of the ideas! And I wouldn’t expect tallyho’s from 1980 to fan evenly every time anyways. ;-)
Anyways crazy sick vid Dimitri I havent seen something this ill since Seb’s vid!
5 stars, btw those masks all over + the opera music made my fiance go “what the fuck are you watching???” when she looked over.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:32 am
oh my.
November 18th, 2009 at 1:32 am
I knew Dimitri was working on a video…and I knew it’d be good…but this good…noooo way.
honestly most creative video I’ve seen since the’me, but this one might beat that out for shear craziness.
And the double vireck/sss/whatever the hell they call squares nowadays…I heard you’ve done it but never thought I’d see it on video…craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy
November 18th, 2009 at 1:56 am
WOW!!! Absolutely Beautiful! I’ve never seen anything so good. Congrats.
November 18th, 2009 at 2:15 am
J’attendais la video avec impatience, magnifique :).
this has got to be one of my all-time favourites.
Dimitri’s style never sees to inspire.
November 18th, 2009 at 2:52 am
now thts too good
November 18th, 2009 at 3:35 am
This guy is C R E A T I V E!!!!!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 3:40 am
Unbelievable skills-an absolute gift. However, under NO circumstances should a normal flourish video be over 2 minutes long. This video was absolutely way too long.

Don’t know what to say. This was just too amazing. I haven’t seen a video this good in a long time. 10/5 stars.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:55 am
love the smooth elegent style
November 18th, 2009 at 4:44 am
Have to agree with michaelherp… way too long. There was some really inspirational content in this video! Well done. There was also stuff that I drummed my fingers through, but you can’t please everyone I suppose.
Overall, interesting video, like the choice in music, keep on being creative!!! Super fun to watch.

wow! just B-E-A-U-tiful! never seen anything like it before. xD
You wont find a guy like that every once in a life time.

Hey Dimitri,
You possess divergent creativity, which was a gust of fresh air amidst these times. Amazing.
Otherwise, this video has the quality to ignore the variable of time. Everything builds up to a beautiful medley of refreshing motions, slow but steadily.
Keep it up!

I have such high hopes for the art now. I haven’t been this shocked by a vid in over a year.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:24 am
i think im crying
November 18th, 2009 at 8:44 am
beautiful style
bravo!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:36 am
Sat through the whole 5 minutes quietly, every second was climax for me, an exciting opera in summary.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:57 am
Yep ! I love it too ! Nice work !
November 18th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
4,22/5 ????? Are u kidding me. This is one of the best videos of all time.
November 18th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Wow that was just nice! The video in whole was just awesome. All the little aspects that shows his creativity are just put together in such a nice way!!
Really great 5/5
November 18th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Yeah jak i agree with you, people should get used to rate, it only takes a click on a star…
This video deserves AT LEAST a 5.
November 18th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Yummy
November 18th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
you almost make me quit flourishing.. damn!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
sick as fuck!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
how long has he been in the business .. any1 no?
November 18th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
5 minutes of pure awesomeness! Way to long??? Just because you haven’t seen a good 5 min flourishing video before.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Someone please get a broom to sweep my jaw off of the floor. I am in awe, pure awe. The moves, the music, the editing, and did I mention the moves? As Nebelfuchs said, this is moving the art forward.
I knew he was great, this simply proves it in five minutes.
Please keep them coming.

November 18th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
wow l love the one handed inverse fan thing, where have you been all of this time man!? 5/5 stars without a dought. make some more videos (and tutorials :D )
November 19th, 2009 at 12:08 am
great vid obviously, it really feels good to be on the same side with the best manipulators.
also glad i got to see those moves + a bunch of other ideas 6 months ago in a non-edited demo video.
yes, i’m boasting.
November 19th, 2009 at 3:42 am
thx for all the great comments guys :) i’m glad you liked it
November 19th, 2009 at 3:54 am
An inspiration for everyone. The recent videos are now displaying why flourishing is truly an art.
You are a great group of people that simply keep improving and moving the art form to new levels. I am proud of you all.
I am a 67 year old retiree that simply loves to watch the development of all the arts. I am awed at how fast this form has developed.
Sincerely,
Doug James

such an art that inspired me!! 6 star!
November 19th, 2009 at 4:19 am
i Soiled myself halfway through the video… i cried at the end.
November 19th, 2009 at 4:37 am
nice
November 19th, 2009 at 6:55 am
This had to be the best video I have ever seen!!! The moves were not flourishes, but works of art! It’s incredible to see such an amazing flourisher whose in a league of his own, with amazing creativity and variety that we’ve not seen the likes of until now. It seems implausible that anyone would rate this less than 5 stars, highlighting the only thing I dislike about this great blog – the harshness of the ratings the videos receive. This really was an opera of awe-inspiring excellence, thank you for sharing with us this amazing video.
Sincerely,
Jackson Jarvis

Sorprendentes movimientos originales. Rutina muy lograda. Te felicito desde España.
November 19th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
He just does the stuff HL and it’s members have been doing for years. 2/5
November 19th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
I lol at Kuma.
And yes, finally a video that calls flourishing an “art” that presents flourishing as an ART. :) I’m happy.
November 19th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
dude, this is my favorite video ever. No matter what anyone says, you are my hero.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:09 am
seems to be the first time we are ALL agreed at TheCuso! Just… art.

DE’VO CALLS US LOSERS http://twitter.com/thecuso/status/5891192507
November 20th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Juste parfait ! franchement c’est magnifique ! Le lieu, la musique, l’étalonage… et surtout tes doigts de fée lol franchement je voulais faire un com plus original mais ce qui me vient c’est juste “oua.. putain il est tellement bon ! Et puis c’est rigolo de voir des mouvements que tu “bossais” quand on se voyait… Encore un putain de gros Bravo ! et puis Aristote j’aurai tellement voulu dérusher avec toi pour entendre tes commentaires toujours mythiques pendant les prises lol. Franchement les mecs je me répète mais chapeau ! mes yeux sont tombés amoureux de cette vidéo.
Je suppose que c’était prévu mais… continu…lol t’es vraiment le meilleur, et je dis pas ça pour faire de la lèche ! bon je m’arrete, encore bravo ;)
November 20th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
@Kuma: but with way more style and skill than most of the members :D

I am quitting cardistry. Wow. I feel like a sh*t combined with bicycle red back cards.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:57 pm

November 22nd, 2009 at 8:07 pm

November 23rd, 2009 at 5:22 am
beautiful… just beautiful. This is beyond talent, absolutely incredible :)
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:39 am
Brilliant! And the music was perfect. What was the name of the piece and who performed it?
November 24th, 2009 at 1:51 am

This Video makes me happy… In my pants.
December 15th, 2009 at 1:14 am
Does ANYONE know the performer of the song?
December 30th, 2009 at 3:02 am
“He just does the stuff HL and it’s members have been doing for years. 2/5″
If the stuff you have been doing for years is only worth 2/5, why do it then?
January 7th, 2010 at 2:00 am
An truly artist really good.;)
January 7th, 2010 at 4:11 am
this may not be just a flourish video.
this probably is a MEASURING STICK of where the art should go..
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 pm
DUDE I SAW THIS VIDEO ON MSN BEFORE!!!!! THEY RE NAMED THIS VIDEO AMAZING CARD FLOURISHES!!!! ANYWAYS, AMAZING WORK :)
