Card flourishes' are the magic jargon term for visual displays of skill performed with playing cards designed to show the skill or manual dexterity of a magician. Card flourishes are more akin to juggling than magic, as they are generally visually fascinating to watch and appear difficult to do.

Is the virts a real game?
Ah, the Virts! They're not a game, they're actually a group of talented cardistry artists known for their stunning performances and creativity with playing cards.

What are your favorite magic tricks?
Card tricks are all sleight of hand. Take this video for example (youtube video clip here-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Xq2BmEm3s / don't worry about the video name - the video is about Justin miller performing a card trick with the black tiger gaff deck of cards, now as said it is all sleight of hand - for example a very basic trick would be this 1. grab a deck of cards (fanning powdered if you wish) 2. take 2 of the cards on top but make sure they are EXACTLY on top of each other (this is called the double lift) 3. place them both back on top of the deck, now take the TOP card / the 1 top card - and place it on a table (preferred flat smooth surface 4. now take the second card (the whole deck is face down by the way) and wave it over the first card, now seeing as we double lifted 2 cards at the top, they think that the second card / which you know that it is/ is the top card so after you wave the second card over the first then turn them other and they will think they have switched 5. it may be a bit hard to understand at first / but it is a easy trick made by David Blaine - a cardistry person / 6. - There is a link to card tricks below (i think) 7. i hope i helped - the deck is the Black Tiger Gaff Deck, it is a gimmicked deck, and you place gimmicked cards inside a real deck of black tigers (made by ellusionist - on eBay for £7 - 8) and then perfrom sleight of hand to make people think that you can do card magic :) A Bonus Step If You Will - you can go up to people which a real deck with gimmicked cards in and show them tricks, could be people you know and could be complete strangers First, have the spectator pick a card. Tell them to memorize it. Then take part of the deck off of the top and turn it over. Tell the spectator to put his card face down into the deck. While he does this, secretly memorize the card that is turned over. Then, put it back on. Do an overhand shuffle (if you know how,) and find the card you memorized earlier in the deck. Their card will most likely be on top of it.
