Dan and Dave Buck have updated their myspace profile pic revealing the look of their Smoke and Mirror cards’ Joker (Doker?).

It’s the guy with the hat we already saw in their website but notice the subtle shape the wands form… It looks like a capital N to me.

What we are really looking forward to see are the backs and the ace of spades, but you know we’ll have to wait, in the Cardistry industry patience is a key factor, everyone knows that.

The image is just a cheap photoshop edit from a David Blanch’s picture of his Jerry’s Nuggets i made. It’s not like he’s into hand modeling or anything but maybe he should reconsider it.

What do you think?

I’ve just installed a new Wordpress plugin that allows users to rate the posts, displays the total number of votes and the average rating for each one.

WP-PostRatings will hopefuly help me to select the topics or videos you like more and will be a great tool for upcoming competitions and contests.

Now it’s time to dive in the archives and start rating the good old posts, i will blog the top rated ones every once in a while so now it’s your chance to exhume the best videos, articles and interviews.

Do you want to be featured again in the front page? Tell your friends to rate your videos.

What do you think about this? Leave a comment and click any number of stars.

Perfect music, great editting and nice haircuts guys. I look forward to see the final video. Rating it 5 stars everywhere right now but for next time you owe me some original moves.

Good job,

This is Sebastian’s favourite method for making a 360 degree one hand revolution cut, he’s got his inspiration from Jonas Haglund’s OH360R an i guess Brian Tudor’s (Yeah, i know he didn’t invent it…)

Anyway, here is the video, exclusive for TheCuso.info in top noch quality.

Thanks for sharing Seb, i’m practicing this right now.

DARK LUMINESCENCE: when dark-adapted bodies emit light.

I know some of you might not like this video because most of the moves in it are basic level and the editting is just bizarre but that’s what makes this video special.

Even being a 5 minutes long what-did-you-smoke-dude video it deserves a spot in the blog for just one reason, you’ve done what nobody else did, and you somehow made me not want to pause and close.

I just wanted to keep watching it. It was hypnotizing.

I know most of you don’t really like the word “underground” but, since I don’t like you, i’ll be blogging “underground” videos as much as I can.

Just kidding, i love you guys.

As stated in www.PlayingCardCollectors.com.

Some people thought they would never be reprinted again but Michael claims that he somehow managed to get a small lot of them in black color from the USPCC. Isn’t this against any copyright law?

I’m not sure if the stock and finish is the same as the original but i doubt it, though they seem to fan pretty much like the original ones…

As he said they’ll be sold at eBay in plastic boxes.

Thanks to Michael Herp for this video and for making the reprint possible.

Underground Creations from Moneyzrus 2005.
A video that echoed through the underground circles and has reached no more than ten people. The skill may not be so impressive; however, the creative ideas behind this video still stand strong to this days. Something completely different resurfaced from the past.
