"THE ENCYCLOPEDIAOF PLAYING CARD FLOURISHES - COVER TO COVER"

You asked for it, and now you're gonna get it! See the Flourishman perform every stunt in the book, and that's just for starters. Each stunt is executed as you see it and in the order it appears in the "Encyclopedia." Following every stunt is a performance tip, using that stunt as an example. Forinstance, you see the basic Charlier Pass, followed by a short sequence of Charlier Passes being performed with the hands crossed, and the title admonition to "Do Cuts with the Hands Crossed." There are dozens ofdifferent tips presented in this fashion, in three montage sequences thatcorrespond toChaptersOne, Two and Three of thebook. Then there arethree no-edit, chapter-specific performance routines. So you see all theOne-Hand Single Cutsin Chapter One, interlaced with invaluable performance tips. Then you see an eye-pleasing, accessible routine of nothing but One-Hand Cuts. This is repeated for Chapter Two, One-Hand Multiple Cuts, and Chapter Three, Fanning.

There are also instructions for powdering cards, workingin the deck and avoiding card-condition pitfalls. Then there is one of the Flourishman's Signature routines of pure flourishes from every type and category. We guarantee you have never seen anything like it. See why the other guys have to rely on Sybil Cuts and ace productions. See why only Jerry is known as THE Flourishman. There are also some outtakes and madness.

With an running time of48 minutes and a sales price of $35.00, Volume One of the Companion DVDs will be prove to be one of the best bargains a flourisher could ask for.Three more volumes, covering the rest of the "Encyclopedia," are to be released over the coming year. We bet "The Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes: Cover to Cover" will be prove to be one of your most watched and re-watched sets of DVDs.

These are PERFORMANCE-ONLY DVDS. This means that except for the preliminarylessons about care and treatment of cards, there aren't any teaching sequences. Because these are companion DVDs, it is assumed that you have the book. Many other authors have done the same thing to avoid diluting a strong market for a successful book, and to expand upon the material in the book. Not only do we not want to replace the book with DVDs, we want to enhance the attraction of the book as being the one source of the true work on a lot of the best flourishes. Not only that, but it would take years and a hundred DVDs to teach, Superhandz-Style,all the material move by move. Those of you who already have the book know that it is easy to learn from, but many, many of you have asked to see film of the flourishes being executed. The companion DVDs tell you everything you need to know about angles of presentation, pace, rhythm etc. And the never-before published, no-edit routines show you how to connect flourishes into riffs, riffs into runs, and runs into routines.

The style of this DVD notches up the Superhandz attitude yet another level. No narrative whatsoever, crystal clear footage, unique editing and music. Thesediscs in particular showcase the outlandish creativity and sometimes kaleidoscopic vision of the art that no one but the one and only Flourishman could lay claim to.

We've never seen anything like this before! A must buy for all flourishers or Kartenmeister.
