I've started practicing it last month, I'm not practicing a lot but it's cool.
take a look and tell me what you think about it, also, there's anyone else who practices something with cards too?

Those are nice, I have trouble with the second cut myself. I used to be big into card manipulation then I found cj. Get yourself a new deck and work on fans next.

I'll have to powder up a deck and see if I have any skills left, I used to do alot of card manipulation about 15 years ago.
If I feel like I have something to offer I'll try and film it :)

haha! 15 years ago I was 20... around that time I had just moved to San Fran was doing small card magic at local parties and writing poetry and composing my original album of solo bass music, it was some of the best times in my life. I've had many great and fun hobbies in my life that I left behind after acquiring some skill. As soon as I knew I could do it but probably wouldn't ever be "one of the greats" I let it go.. Except music. I doubt I'll ever be one of the greats there either but I have to do it. For me, getting into CJ these last few months has been greatly motivated by the community we have here in Bangor. So many great people that it's fun to be involved in as a social thing. ... whoah. s**t got deep.

Nice cuts, I've started getting back into card magic- working on forces at the mo, I was always rubbish at them. CJ has helped my slight of hand :)

It's as true in card magic as it is in CJ a strong understanding of the use of "The Force" can make things seem like magic ;)

Nice! I'm really into my magic. It's what got me into CJ. Do you do tricks or only manipulation? Have you tried a one handed shuffle? That's what I'm working on ATM and it's a great effect but a little nasty - given me bruises.

Actually, these cuts on the video are about 75% of everything I can do with cards...

I'm not really into it, but it's really cool!

I was a card rake before a contact juggler. Nice cuts, if you're looking for flourishes I suggest learning to spring cards, in my eyes springing is to card flourishes as the butterfly is to contact juggling. I'm working on some sleights lately, depending on my attention span, hopefully I'll get around to posting them when I've got them down.

I forgot to say "springing took me 4 hours to learn one day, sitting on the floor." It takes less practice than people imagine, I think.
