Handlordz products are once again selling on eBay. Including a collector item!

The FunWithAces guys Ryoma and Nebelfuchs have put up three auctions with a bunch of “xtreme” products for the enthusiasts.

“With their private product forums being down ever since the old yuku board hack, getting the xtreme bundle at a better price has no inconvenient at all.”

Right now the price is really low but don’t expect these products to end up going for thousands like in other auctions…

Anyway, here are the goodies that these guys listed…

Xtreme Card Manipulation Products at eBay

Jerry Cestkowski’s Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes + Companion DVDs

“The Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes is the first of its kind. This current, comprehensive treatment of fancy card manipulation will teach you everything from the Charlier Pass to juggling cards. With 2,800 photographs and a wealth of informative accompanying instructions, this massive book will keep you busy for years. The only reason you will put this 545-page text down is because it weighs 5 pounds. Hardback, 8-1/2 x 11, lies flat for easy learning.”

SUPERHANDZ XTREME BUNDLE DVD SET + EXTRAS

Includes the following: Xtreme Beginnerz Vol. 1 two DVD Set, The Cobra Collection DVD & Cradle to Grave DVD
+ De’ring DVD + Superhandz Music CD

LIMITED EDITION SUPERHANDZ SPADE PORPER CLIP

“These are simply the finest card clips ever made! We worked with Joe Porper on this project, and the outcome is AMAZING! Each one of these magnificent card clips are engraved with our Superhandz Spade logo and are also signed by Joe Porper himself! These clips have a special design to keep your cards flat and ready to go at a moments notice. All other clips on the market just can’t hold a candle to these awesome and durable black clips.

If you ever thought about getting a card clip, this is the one you have been waiting for!

Only 100 of these awesome card clips were made and were ONLY available from our store!”

If you are looking for something less “retro” you might wanna check Kate’s post where she offers her “Secret Books of De’vo” as a donative to the Up and Coming initiative.

I’m going to bid on the porper clip, I’m sure I can find a way to bleach off that logo…

Just kidding ;)

Ekaterina Dobrokhotova (BabycatXD) was recently banned from Handlorz for doing this demo video with the arcane deck.

She was clearly one of the strongest participants in the XCM World Tournament this year.

Who do we blame? Those cool looking Arcanes or guys that think every day of the year is Halloween?

Anyway, I dont’t feel sorrow at all, I’m happy that she’s now going on her own and makes good use of her critical mind.

Now it’s time for you to speak out your mind.

If you missed last night’s iTricks clinic you can watch it right here.

Andrei Jikh and Justin Robert Young discuss some points on cardistry originality, how to stand out and find your own persona in the card flourishing world.

Andrei talks about his early days in the “Hardcore” side of Xtreme Card Manipulation, how he started imitating the man behind De’vo Vom Schattenreich and how he started to move away into the path that would lead him to being a “rising star”.

Pretty interesting video podcast where you can see some familiar faces, check it out.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that the Arcane Playing Cards have been officialy released?

I’m sure I did ;)

-Alejandro

It’s time for another .thecuso interview. This time I bring you another Xtreme Card Manipulator, Mr. Mark Law aka XCMeijin.

Grab some popcorn and enjoy this awesome interview.

-Alejandro

Time to bring back the interviews, this time with someone closer to the Xtreme Card Manipulation side of card flourishing.

His name is Viet H Nguyen and you might already know him from the past Handlordz’ World XCM Tournament 08.

An example of someone that understands our art can become a profession.

Feel free to ask more questions in the comments section below.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is M’.

Grab this 20% discount in the best playing cards for XCM

If you were wondering what Motions and Demon Claw from “Secret Books of De’vo vol.1” looked like here is a nice example by the hardcore HLer XCMeijin.
…

In the spirit of “flourishing videos”, but in the style of Handlordz XCM.

Inspired by a popping/locking dance performance to create this video.

I forgot to mention ARMOND in the credits! ARMOND, you sexy beast, it’s only because of you that I have my book with me! Hi Five! HL4LIFE!

Use this coupon to get 20% off in your deck order at Ellusionist

The recently released “Secret Books of De’vo volume 1“, containing four of his underground concepts, has been spotted for sale on eBay.

That auction sounds like a great opportunity for those who missed their chance to get one of the 100 copies first, be it because they haven’t been online for the past few months or just because they “didn’t qualify” to order it.

Maybe an even better opportunity for the seller? Answer in 9 days.

On that topic, someone you probably have seen write a lot on my blog’s comments is preparing a review to be published soon here at .thecuso, stay tuned.

Do you think selling this on a public place like eBay where anyone can buy it is a good idea? Even knowing it was at first released to a selected few?

Good luck bidding!

Save 20% On Killer Card Work Bundle DVD Set

Summer is coming and we need fresh stuff in the blog. How about a 3 card mills mess to begin with?

Max has proven to be our favourite XCMer from Handlordz with his incredible card manipulation skills.

I’m not a big fan of juggling but Max’s videos always make me try to give it a go, only to discover how stupid I look when I’m bent down trying to pick up my cards. This kind of flourishes are probably the hardest to do and the ones that usually leave a stronger impression on laymen.

How about you?

Do you care more about doing hard-impossible stuff or beautiful-artistic moves?

A little hardcore Xtreme Card Manipulation for a change. This time a tribute to De’vo vom Schattenreich, the founder of Handlordz, Superhandz and the term XCM by Tracy.

This chinese guy does some crazy stuff with those armspreads, fans and springs. Not the kind of cardistry we see around here lately but very flashy and inspiring nevertheless.

At least him understands that black backgrounds are boring!

Not too much editing and a nice location to shoot your flourishes is enough to keep us entertained.

Is this the kind of cardistry that you like? Share your thoughts!

Hello everyone! This is a video that I made for Tadcast, which is an online website involved in product placement, and in this case the product is Sweetriot! So I decided to incorporate a little storyline, with some Xtreme Card Manipulation, some Finger Fitness, even a little bit of De’Ring stuff (gryphon roll) to produce this video! So in the next 3 days, I need to get the most views possible!! I think it turned out pretty well, it may be a bit long, but watch it to the end, I promise you won’t be disappointed with the moves!!

An old meet up video of Philip McAuley and Ashtar5 from Handlordz.

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.

Theory11 presents their new artist, Andrei Jikh. A very talented cardist from Vegas that started his career as a flourisher back in 2002 and after some issues in the Handlordz/Superhandz community he decided to continue alone until today.

Get ready to feel his rage.

Marcos Pérez aka Digital Artist, a member of the handlordz community made this tutorial a while back and now it’s been posted at youtube so here it is for you guys.

I’ve never been a fan of the SSS (self standing sculptures) nor the HL style of flourishing or pure XCM but i’ve been changing my style lately and im drinking from all sources.

With this tutorial you will learn how to do a triangle sculpture on the back of your hand with a deck of playing cards using one hand only.

Currently i’ve developed a nice utility move to get a packet of cards onto the back of the hand lenght wise and you’ll hopefully see it in my upcoming videos.

The credit for this move goes to De’vo Vom Schattenreich of course, Handlordz and Superhandz leader.

The teaching is clear and the move is astounding. Five stars from me DA.
