Bee stingers




The bee stingers just fans like honey slipping down your throat.Gives you a sense that you handle cards professionally.The white borders are designed to prevent cheating in casinos.

Raider


The bicycle Raider deck is magnificent.The quality the finish the stock the colour just gets my 10 over 10 vote!

Propaganda







The propaganda deck has a very military look to it.A deck the looks dangerous and threatening.



Smoke And Mirror

HA! This is the deck i have been longing to give a review on.The smoke and mirror decks was designed for the Buck brothers the pioneer in card flourishing.These deck are absolutely PHENOMENAL! There is no question why you should get this deck.The deck has an aristocrat finish.The court cards are simplified and the ace of spades is just magically STYLISH!

Split Spades Lion

There is only one word to describe this deck.AMAZING.This deck was originally designed for David Blaine himself .They fan effortlessly, they faro shuffle just the way you want them to.The artwork on the box and the cards in unquestionable.If you look closely at the court cards every face is different.The king of spades has a portrait of David Blaine's own face!The ace of spades and the jokers both contains optical illusions.Get the deck to see it for yourself !

Bicycle Eco edition

The bicycle Eco edition is a wonderful deck, the cards are crafted from forest paper, starched based laminating glue and vegetable based ink.The best thing is that this deck is totally recyclable

Wynn casino deck

Wynn is a really cool deck .It has a cambric finish on it, the design on it makes it look elegant and stylish.It is only available in the top casinos but now we have them for sale you can get them at the magic hall in Singapore.They come in red, blue, brown.

Guardians

The guardians deck is one of theory 11's creation.It fans like butter, the deck is a little bit thicker than other normal decks.It really gives you the sense of control.It is air cushioned finished.The red cards of in this deck has a more crimsson red instead of bright red.The colours for the court cards are crimson red and blue.The detail on this deck is just sweet.The angels really look stunning


Shadow Masters

The shadow masters deck is rather unique each cards will look as if there was a shadow over it, that explains the name.The finish is the same as the ghost and vipers deck.

Tally Ho vipers

The vipers is killer.Its what i call a secret weapon.The moment you pull it out of the box it just slips of your fingers like butter.The card stock is the best you can find compatible to split spades lions.The UV500 airflow finish will allow you to flourish like a king.A must have deck

Black and White Ghost deck

The Ghost deck one of my favourites:) It has a very mysterious looking to it. It fans amazing and it looks pheonomenal! I definately recommend this deck.The only difference between those to decks is the jokers.If not the rest is the same.They are both Uv 500 airflow finish.







Black Tiger

Black tiger: Is a very striking deck design by ellusionist, it is very populat among card flourishes and magicians. In my opinion it handles ok, it fans good.But its the artwork i admire check it out

Diffrent and rather cool Cards

Many people who just play cards for fun or gambling fail to realise the cards can be very cool.
The first thing that comes to your when you hear cards, you think of a rough white sheet of paper and some ink on it.Well let me prove you wrong, the cards you are about to see are totally different from what you expected.

Experience

Going out and perform magic on the streets is a whole different feeling compared to you performing to your friends and family.The first time you perform for strangers you will definitely feel nervous.When i first started to perform on the streets, i would stutter on words and i would sweat alot.Well the more i did it the more it became natural.Go out and do it, take the step of faith and just walk up to anyone and show them your magic.Its OK if you fail at the trick just practice.Do not feel discouraged when people rejects you,just find someone else ha ha.Well to all magicians i challenge you to go out there and perform MAGIC!

Street Magic

Street Magic

Its a type of magic where you go out on the streets and perform anywhere anytime be it shopping centres, pubs, or restaurants they can still be considered as street magic.Alot of practice is required for street magic it involves perfecting sleight of hands and the most important is your presentation

Magicians I look up to:

Daniel Garcia


Wayne Houchin


Brad Christian


Dan And Dave Buck

Flourishing is a unique style it looks elegant and cool.Flourishing does and does contain magical effects, its basiclly fiddling of cards or shuffling of cards in a very stylish way.Flourising can come in very handy while performing tricks :)You can youtube these people. Dan and Dave Buck, Virtuoso these are my most inspirational card artist
Adam Cut
As a magician or a card flourisher, the types of cards you use is very important.

Bicycle: Bicycle decks are pretty good for magic, its affordable and it is air cushioned finish which allows to feel smoother than other ordinary cards.In Singapore in cost around 4.50 to 5 dollars they come in red and blue.



Tally-Ho:In my opinion tally-ho's are perfect for card flourishing and magic.It cost a little more than bicycle decks but its worth it.They come in 2 different back designs, circle backs and fan backs. 1: fan backs 2: circle backs. Costs around 6.50 dollars

Aladdin 1001:Alright these decks are so called cheap cards in Singapore. But they fail to realise that its one of the best cards you could find.Aladdin is used by famous magicians and flourishers such as Dan and Dave Buck, Kevin Ho etc...These cards is rather unique it comes in air cushioned finish or smooth finish.

Me

Hello:) A brief introduction about me:) I'm Adam Cut i am from Singapore.I spent 6 and a half year in France. I started magic and flourishing about 3 years ago,i did not start magic when i was in France.I was amazed when my cousin showed me my first trick. From then on i decided to start magic. After awhile i found out something real nice it was called Card Flourishing or to some some of us its called XCM(XtremeCardManipulation). And since that day i was glued to flourishing. :)
