On the way back to Canada from Indonesia, I stopped by Singapore for a night. The timing was perfect since David “Blanch” Pedersen was staying there for a week. I had a lot of fun and I’d like to thank the Singaporeans (Jaspas, Leon, Ambrose, Ling, and Kenneth) for taking the time to meet up with me :)

Winner of Dan and Dave’s PREQEL contest.

[Watch in HD]

The world is an opponent of our passions.

It is no surprise how time passes so fleetingly in our lives and how we take simple things like a deck of cards for granted but the paradox is that when we look a little deeper and exalt imagination, infinite possibilities abound.

“To see the world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.”
- William Blake

2 pairs of hands combined, 2 styles intertwined. Like the “helix” in our blood, the engine for our minds.

Location: The Helix Bridge
Time: 0000 hrs to 0730 hrs
Music: Otherworld – Eugenic
Editing: Ben & Ambrose

The idea for the video is as stated above.

I would like to thank the community for inspiring me through the videos they have contributed for the past few years. I would like to thank the people I had the honour of meeting up with on Saturdays, the regular so called “Singapore” gang of guys, you know who you are.

I would like to say that this video would not have been possible if not for the ideas I have gleaned from the community and it is this art that completes me as a person.

Without videos as a medium of thought exchange nothing in this art would have been possible and hence I would like to thank Dan and Dave, TheCuso.info, UnitedCardists as well as Theory 11 for organizing these contests that brings continuity and excitement to the community.

We hope you have enjoyed this video and if so then it has served its intended purpose of community contribution.

Enjoy.

Hey awesome people, sorry for the little hiatus from the flourishing scene. As I have not been actively producing videos for quite some time,
I saw the ‘Preqel’ contest as an opportunity for a comeback.

As for the video, I would say that it is a fast-paced video packed with synchronized moves. After all the hard work we’re pretty satisfied with the end product. Just so you know, we missed a night of sleep for the filming of the video.

Like what Ben had mentioned above, I would like to thank the individuals and communities like UnitedCardists, Theory 11, D&D and TheCuso for holding up contests and keeping the community alive.

Now, enjoy one and a half minute of your life

Ambrose – Morbidni Cut Tutorial

TheCuso — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:15:37 +0000

Clocks ticking, bells ringing. It’s tutorial time! ( Gosh I’m getting lame, but I just love entertaining myself )

Back to seriousness?

Always wanted to create a complex-looking cut, and I think this is the best that I can come up with. Full of twists and re-grips, definitely something you can practice on day and night.

I tried my best in making this tutorial elaborate and detailed for you, and have added different angles to compensate the unseeen portions. Do hope you enjoy learning.

Special thanks to Ben You, in helping me with the filming.

[CCC 2009] Ambrose, Ben You and Jonathan – Wecallitshockeffect

TheCuso — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:28:27 +0000

Orange Bikes – Ambrose
Blue Aladdin’s – Ben
Red Tally’s – Jonathan

Featuring Ben You, an underground flourisher that has been ‘underneath’ since his last video ‘Crossroads’. And now he’s back for recognition with his sick concepts and moves.

Introducing Jonathan, an unknown to most, that has emerged for the crown. He has been into cards for 4 long years, and this is his supposedly ‘first’ video. His signature move, one handed killer ‘Laika’, can be seen from 1:25 to 1:32.

With that said, we bring to you shockeffect.
( You never know how much we’ve been through to get this video done, so treasure it! )

- Ambrose

This is my personal favourite. There is not much I can say, just watch the video and you’ll know why this is the clear winner.

Congratulations in advance Ambrose, Ben You and Jonathan.

You’ve earned it!

-Alejandro

Vitasoy – stINK

TheCuso — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:14:27 +0000

“The Vitasoys are BACK. Again.”

“stINK”, is our latest card flourish teaser filmed in our recently acquired red screen studio.

It is a short montage card flourishes from various projects that we’ll be revealing in 2009.

Oh, and about this card flourish teaser…

“stINK” is a message of potential for our art.

It can be a silent fart, or a loud attention grabbing one. People might love or hate farts, but one thing for sure is that no one can ignore them.

To us, the “stInk” is in our cards, and that’s what we’ve been farting out our story with…
A story we’re farting out… just for you. (And hopefully “with you” real soon) ;)

The Vits are back… again… and this time, they’ve brought a lot more to share.

SPREAD THE LOVE.

All card flourishes performed are played at their actual speeds or slowed down.

No cards were harmed during the filming of this card flourish video.

This card flourish video is best enjoyed with headphones on. (Trust me, I’ve heard it before.) =D

Enjoy.

Singapore Card Flourishers – Previously Unseen!!!

TheCuso — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:05:40 +0000

Ahola all card netizens!

On the 26th April 2009, Jaspas Deck organised an informal card flourish battle-styled competition at the Esplanade Underground, of which me (Jaspas smooth-talked me in. =\), Leon, Kenneth Aidan (or more commonly known as Kafoosh) and Dave participated. The turnout for the event was amazingly well, amassing to over a dozen card handlers. It was certainly one of the largest card gathering I personally have witnessed in, arguably, years! Without a doubt, this generated a warm and fuzzy feeling within me. The competition itself was a fun one, and it was a humbling and enriching experience for me to flourish live once again.

You can read more about the compeition from this blog which Jaspas spearheaded.

Let’s jog back in time for a bit, shall we?

Earlier this year, Bone Ho returned back to Singapore for a short trip, and being us – Singaporeans who must have a mandatory card session every week, exploited this chance and met up with the man who spawned the whole flourish legacy in Singapore. Unexpectedly, Bone who usually dons a serious performer appearance is a complete different persona in real life, as you can see from his amazing rendition of the Snap Change from this video.

I should shut up.

Enjoy the video!

Vitasoy – “Style” a Leon and Ambrose’s TheVirts Parody

TheCuso — Sat, 09 May 2009 14:21:12 +0000

Do you have style?

Vitasoy’s here with a short and sweet lesson where theory in the art of card flourishing is concerned.

“It’s not how you do it.. It’s where you do it.”

What is style?
This is style.

Enjoy

-Leon “Yeow” and Ambrose “Low”.
