Garry A’s Your Style competition entry. I liked those Huron Low’s “Firefly“-kinda-moves and the watch spins.

Nice stuff man.

Ok, finaly i decided to release this move to the public.

I think it’s my best creation and though it might seem an easy and stupid cut it has a lot of potential.

Nebula is an utility move that it’s meant to be incorporated into more complex and elaborated flourishes.

As an elegant alternative to the swing cut it can also be used to divide the deck in two halves in the middle of your favourite one handed cuts routine.

I like to use it before making a smear fan in the right hand and a carnahan in the left to show a circle.

I know many people (includding my friends Jonas Haglund, Huron Low, TicaL and others) are using this move and have came up with fantastic variations and combos that might eventually be made public for you.

I had a hard time deciding if i should release this move or keep it for me and my friends but you know how i am and how i think, and for those of you that dont i’ll tell you…

I think this move has a lot of potential as i said so keeping it wouldn’t make our art progress in any way.

So here is my little gift for you to experiment.

I would like to see hundreds of video responses with your ideas upon this concept and of course i would like you to TAKE YOUR TIME to comment on what do you think about the move (what is nice and what is not…) so please stay away from saying: “nice”, “wow”, “great stuff” “thanks” “keep it up” kind of comments, PLEASE! :P

I want to thank everyone that watches my stuff, all my subscribers at youtube and specially in my blog (those of you that take me seriously :P), all my flourishing friends and the video editor who asked me to keep his name private.

Thanks a lot once again and enjoy!

Filmed in late 2004 2005 this video shows the baby steps of singaporean flourishing team The Virts. You can see an excerpt of this video in the Virtuoso video.

Directed, filmed and edited by Huron Low and featuring the old virts Huron Low, Kevin Ho, Sylvester, Elijah Cai and Daryl Ho.

These guys have been rocking the flourishing scene for a long time now. Who will ever defeat them?

My friend Twozwozer has made a review of Huron’s FITH dvds…

-Excitement to the max! At about 4:20pm, my mum came in my room with a package for me! I rip it open and inside was my TnR Project DVD from Huron Low. I pop it open an inside fell out “0630″.

Updated Trailer showing removal of cut-out piece.

Visit www.HuronLow.com for more info.

The Effects:

Angel

Any card is selected by the spectator, who signs all over its face with permanent ink.

The angel at the back of the signed bicycle card is then colored a solid black with the same marker.

The magician blows over the ink, even rubbing it with his fingers tips, proving that it is a permanent mark over the now dark angel.

With a gentle wave the ink on the angel visually fades away, morphing back into the angel; the signature on its face still permanently etched on, a symbol of the impossible occurrence.

Angel Redux

The angel at the back of a signed, freely selected bicycle card is cleanly sliced out with a pen-knife, leaving a circular hole in the selection.

With a gentle wave, the angel visually and gradually regenerates in full view, making the card whole once again.

Hotspot

A signed card is folded in half and has its middle ripped out.

First the ripped out piece teleports from the magician’s pocket back to the destroyed card, fully restoring it.

Then the piece is ripped out again and placed in the magician’s mouth. He spits it out at the torn area, visually restoring the card with absolutely no cover.

Making Ends Meet

All piece by piece restorations look the same, except this one.

This is as clean and visual as piece by piece torn and restored card effects go.

A quarter is ripped off a signed card and handed to the spectator.
Another quarter is torn off, making it a long half-card.

That long piece is ripped into two and fused back on the other ripped sides, creating the first mismatch.

Now the last piece is removed and restored… but on the wrong side, resulting in a visual oddity.

This next phase is almost eerie.

The magician merely gazes at the last piece, and it suddenly shifts, steadily sliding by its fibres over to the correct side.

Finally, the last piece is that the spectator has been holding onto the entire time suddenly changes in colour, permanently mismatching it from the rest of the card.

Why Fire in the Hole?

Most T&Rs require the destruction of two cards every single time.
Fire in the Hole uses one card, and utilizes an ingenious gimmick that can be used over and over again.

Most T&Rs require a force of the selection.
The selection in Fire in the Hole is a free choice.

Most T&Rs are very angle sensitive and can be only performed to one person at a time.
Fire in the Hole has a beautiful angle range and I have performed this at conventions for hundreds at a time.

Most T&Rs are not versatile and require a lot of cover.
Fire in the Hole can be restored with or without fire, neither requiring any cover. Yes, the cut-out piece can literally fuse back to the card with a gentle touch.

Most T&Rs utilize duplicate cards.
Fire in the Hole only uses one card, and thus does not need any duplicates.

Most T&Rs look EXACTLY THE SAME, and do not suggest a magical process for which the restoration occurs.
Fire in the Hole’s fusion of time-travel and fire is perfect motivation for the restoration.
There has never been a torn and restored that even comes close to what Fire in the Hole is and looks like.

Most T&Rs have selections that cannot be signed on both sides, and at times cannot be signed at all, greatly weakening the effect.
The selection in Fire in the Hole is signed on BOTH sides, multiple times. The selection is also fully examinable.

Most T&Rs have an approximate one minute reset time.
Fire in the Hole has a 3 second reset time.
