View Full Version : What flourish makes you feel like a badass?

It's a kind of melodramatic title but I'm sure you all know what I mean. I think everyone has a flourish that when they do absolutely perfectly they just think "hell yeah, I rule :p"
For me it's when I do a perfect molecule 2 one card production from the trilogy. When you get the perfect flip and the card sticks out not too far but just far enough, and the flipped packet makes that beautiful "smack" sound as it hits the other one and lands perfectly squared.
It might be when you do a hot shot cut and the card spins just right, or a perfectly even le paul spread, or you do the perfect tornado cut and you just think "hmm I could do this for hours :p"
Post your favourite!

I'm not much of a flourisher at all, but when I do Jonas Haglund's Xtended( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzcAGU6UyDk ) people are like holy ****.
:D
And I'm not looking for a tutorial, but can someone post a link to a video with a tornado spin? I have never seen one >_>..
yeah.-Gears.

I absolutely love my le paul spread.
It just comes out like butter.Butter comes out? Like the dairy product? A big brick of it, tastes kind of salty?
Also, butter doesn't fan. :p

Under Pressure really gets people attention. Almost anything from the Trilogy but my favourite is Pandora

under pressure and the lepaul spread are definately eye catchers for me.

I havnt a clue, sir. :< I'm just trying to say its sexy. Lol, well, I think it is.

I guess that means; butter is sexy? - No comment, lol.
On a more serious note; none of the flourishes I perform make me feel 'proud' or 'better' than anyone else. Yet, I usually feel good when I perform the "old" Pandora, it just feels great to do- the packets are made to come apart and together so smoothly, it's brilliant.
Great cut!

Overhead spring, watchspin, behind-the-back deck toss, one-handed riffle shuffle.

Definately the "very long spring" (cause I sucked at it for soooo long) and pressure fans..there's nothing like that feeling of squeezing out that perfect fan and last and definately not least........the cobra cut!! (also because it took me soooooooo long to nail that packet catch without dropping).

Flash Drei and double one-handed fans. Noice.

Pandora, and my unnamed cut, which I plan to post on theory11 as soon as I get it smooth (ends with a 7 packet display)

A few Tornado variations, leading to something like Pandora, makes me feel badass.
