Great job Kate, this tutorial is awesome!

PS: You should’ve made it with your Gold Arcanes though… I guess you are saving them for another awesome contest ;)

Good but proper credit would be nice instead of ripping off someone elses move to promote yourself. Hey I might teach the Jackson 5 to win an online contest in the future.

@ David, I absolutely agree, proper credits are in order.
I failed to include those in the video due to the video lenght being way over what I had planned. I hate going over the 5 minutes mark. If I had an option to change the description , I would. Maybe Cuso can edit it.
As far as credits go, Jeff Mcbride was one of the first to make a tutorial on the flower fan, however I am not certain that he ever claimed being its creator.
There has been other tutorials including the one done my Jikh on Genesis vol. 1.
I do feel however that there is a difference in me teaching this move…and all the other tutorials…what I wanted to bring were tips that make it look better. Basically, an upgrade of the flower fan as we know it. I don’t like seeing 180 degree flower fans and I feel like people are not pushing it far enough, so I explain how to make it better. It is not an easy move and the tips are not for a beginner audience.
With that said, I just wish that in a way it contributed to the improvement of your flower fan.
cheers

great job BabyCatXD, I have always wanted to learn this one (it looks absolutely beautiful when done evenly) but I rarely practice it b/c it destroys the cards !
