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.

The’me [theem] [The Me - Andrei Jikh's style]

After leaving the Cardistry community for over a year, Andrei Jikh returned to bring you some of the newest material the card world has ever witnessed.

January 30, 2008.

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.

Yesterday Theory11 holded a Saturday Night Contest in which you had to create a flourish within 3 hours.

I loved Andrei’s “Bam bam boom boom” using Bone Ho’s “Angel” spin move with a Joey Burton’s Skater Cut display look.

He obviously won and here is the video for you to enjoy.

“You start to love yourself when Andrei Jikh tags his videos with your name.”

Impossible…no more.

(The formation of a square from the back of the hand, a technique that was long regarded as impossible is finally a reality.)

-Andrei Jikh, creator. (developed in 2006)

Credits: De’vo for the idea of the square (method is original and was released before De’vo’s public release of the Viereck) Editor: Daren Yeow.

Here is Phil’s attempt and redefinition of Andrei Jikh’s XX flourish as seen in his Two Video.

I decided to refine Andrei’s cut to my liking, so here is my version of Andrei’s XX.

Here are just two little moves from me, a special thanks to Chris Kenner and Jonas Haglund. (originally “XXX”… presently “XX” with a slightly smoother closer).

-Andrei Jikh

“In addition to providing a place for people to post videos and discuss flourishes, the Handlordz forums were also the first to host a ‘battle’ section, where users could call each other out for a challenge.

The stipulations of each battle are not set in stone; the criteria and rules are made and agreed on by the challengers, and the winning video is usually decided by votes from forum users or a decision from a higher authority (usually the Handlordz forum staff.)

Starting in 2004, the tradition proved to be a very popular one, eventually resulting in the first Handlordz tournament, of which this video was a part of. In it, Andrei Jikh (then username ‘Moneys R Us’) was up against Mykal Seifers (then username ‘Seif’), with the category being Aerials, and criterion for judging being Smoothness, Creativity, Difficulty, Cool Factor, and Technique. (Side note: Andrei later on went to win the tournament.)

The concept of user-manufactured battles still continues to this day, many of which can be seen here:
