This channel is not designed for full on tutorials because there are so many out there. Videos here are meant to give you a different perspective on sleight of hand, theories, and performances to add more tools to your magic. I will always add links on where to learn it so you can watch it if you have never learned how to do it.

In today’s video we will be discussing how to do the dribble flourish. It can be important to know especially in magic because it opens doors to more controls!

I like it! Thank you for the video.
Perfect control, thanks for tutorial.
Anytime don’t be afraid to ask me any questions!
Really, really great video James. Not enough videos that show you what to do AFTER you establish the card in Tenkai
I’ve been out the game a little but use it as a utility! If you ever need to steal a card or can even be used as a control! Experiment with it and if you have further questions I’d be happy to answer!
@jamespena6325 Thanks so much, James. New to ur channel. YT recommended ur video and it was awesome. I will be exploring your channel and videos tonight.
nice detaills
Thanks! Let me know if you need additional help with any videos!
Never seen this horizontal gambler cop
Nice video man. Just found your channel today and it seems you haven’t uploaded in quite a while but it would’ve been great to come across this video sooner, really appreciate these kind of videos.
Thank you! I plan to do more just very busy lifestyle currently. But I will always respond and continue to answer any questions you may have!
I've watched this at least 10 times now but still can't quite get the actual steal part down 😭 it's a very clear tutorial tho 👍
Is there anything I can try to answer?
Funny enough but I watched it a couple more times and now it's starting to click 😂👍 My hand was just in a weird angle so it made it hard to grab the card
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted but I’ll still answer any questions on any video! And okay good I’m glad you’re getting the hang of it! 🙌
Really good job teaching this. Thank you✌
Excellent
I like the video, however at one point I was beginning to become confused. I watched until the end and was straightened out. 👍
Thanks, James. The word is pronounced, EK-kwuh-vok. 😊
THANK YOU I DID NOT KNOW 😂
You’re welcome!
I'd probably train with this more if I could be bothered to open new decks every couple days at least, doesn't seem to be working properly on what used and almost sticky pack I have here atm
It should still work. I don’t buy crazy amount of decks either! Spend like 10 bucks on a 4 pack and it will last you a long time. If you have trouble let me know and I’ll do what I can for you
I use this all the time the time still
thanks a lot!!!
Nice video can i try?
Of course man that’s why I put these videos up!
I always thought the double undercut was something magicians thought fooled lay people but doesn’t. Lol
This is really great! It looks even better than the double undercut and is more fooling, for sure.
I agree that a double undercut is an inferior and obvious move. Now I want to offer some constructive criticism of your video. Firstly, you have a tendency to wander; write a script and stick to it when shooting. Secondly, stop adding "right?" at the end of expository sentences. It is a meaningless question as the audience cannot provide confirmation and it diminishes you as an expert. It makes you appear poorly educated and inexperienced as a speaker. Finally, and I hate to even say it, manicure your nails and remove any dirt beneath them. Dirty nails form a poor first impression.
Thank you for the advice! I haven’t posted in ages but if I do again I will keep this noted!
NGL, This is basically just a magicians choice
You are right! That’s what equivoque means! But I’m only ensuring how to increase your chances for them to land it first try if that makes any sense
Totally agree this is a great idea. Pull this video I want it all to myself just kidding. I do want all of us to be a bit better.
Great job! Thanks,
Thanks James. Good job. You make it very clear.
Thank you so much! Please let me know if have any questions!
Nice. I started doing this a while ago too. I think we went to different schools together.
Yo what? 😂😂
Nice tutorial
Row number 3
Loved this video!!! i’ve watched countless magic videos and this is in my top three! I will review this video several more times, make my own cheat sheet from it and I am going out to buy a camera tomorrow. Best Buy here I come. Thank you, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the effort you put into this video. Excellent excellent excellent information
Wow another great tutorial yes I have seen magicians on RUclips using the swing cut along with that other move and it looks so difficult and I cannot see exactly what they were doing cuz they were going so fast but now you broke it down and I can practice it thank you very much again I don't know you are great thank you very much great tutorials
Wow such a great video thank you very much great video
James I just now read the comments that you had gotten from a couple of other people. I really thought that they were pretty strong. Yes it’s good to get critiques on what we do but like I said I think they were a little strong the comments made by these two people. Thank you for all your knowledge you didn’t just give us equivocate but also gestures and gave us the idea how your mind thinks when you’re doing equivocate which is excellent again I say thank you and yes I have seen many of your videos and I definitely learned a lot from them even as compared to other videos on RUclips that I watch for magic. Anyway that’s my two cents don’t want to ruffle no feathers but that’s just the way I feel I thought it was an excellent video and it covered everything in detail which is something I need it anyway thanks again good day to you
Hey thank you very much very much for this knowledge. What is the best way to practice this equivocate. And not that just add because I know you want us to hit on the first time but I need practice at the equivocate how do I go about practicing that do I just do it a lot practice or is there some other idea that you have thank you again for all of your videos that you put out they are all excellent.
Best way to practice this is doing it to other people. You will start getting a better at understanding how the human mind picks the card and you’ll be better prepared for others. Trust me it’s a little scary to do but I promise it works. Please let me know how else I can help. And thank you so much for commenting and letting me know!
Awesome tips on double lifts
Let me know how I else I can help!
Seen the word cull and immediately subbed
I appreciate you man!
Wow, amazing. Very nice. It really fooled me and I had absolutely no clue how the card came up to the top
I recently watched some of your videos! You're absolutely awesome. Your content, teaching everything is excellent! 🤩🤘🏻you deserves a million subs dude! You'll surely achieve one day! 😁🤘🏻
Thank you man! I definitely appreciate the support! 😃
3rd
There wasn’t even a 2nd 😂
@@jamespena6325 oops😶
been waiting on an upload for a minute
Not trying to be mean, just giving you feedback: a 3min video should have been enough to show this trick and explain how it’s done. There is no way people would actually watch a 20min for this simple trick. You can probably check in your analytics after how long the audience stops/skips the video.
I appreciate the feedback! I just like being in detail but maybe you’re right it could be too much. And yea people lose attention pretty quickly but this who actually care about the craft will watch it. But just for you I will try to find the balance so I thank you!
@The Barbarian Take - Equivoque is NOT just a trick, it's an entire concept. Max Maven has a video of more than an hour on equivoque and it's a masterpiece.
Your tutorials are always so informative, thanks for your inspiration
I appreciate it!
man your videos are high quality please do more
I’m going too! I’ve been a bit busy but more tutorials coming soon!
do more videos man!!!!
A few things: 1) You have a new subscriber. 2) I found that exact same pack at Walgreens if you want to try to buy it offline. 3) Aaron Fisher teaches that you should use the left fingers to cull, not the right, which I found to greatly improve my cull. 4) Great stuff, the Cherry Control you teach is fantastic; but I am terrible at it!
I’ll try the left! Thanks for helping me out!
I learned the left finger cull from the cullfather dvd, but it really only works well for the first card I find, right works better for every card after the first.
Yay! Just what I hoped to see when I wakeup
Thank you! Still working on the push off double I haven’t forgot!
@@jamespena6325 I've been trying to do it myself,
Very interesting content! Thank you very much!
Would you like more videos like this? If you do leave me any suggestions you would like me to talk about! 🙃
@@jamespena6325 Sure! A video about exercises and drills to improve finger flexibility and coordination for card magic would be great!
@@miltonmagoo9946 thank you! Will work on that! I have a few other requests already but I won’t forget 🙂
@@jamespena6325 Great, thank you very much!
I like this typ of videos. I love your personality and the concept of your channel. You should have min. 5000 instead of 500 subs. I really appreciate you man!
I appreciate every word in that sentence! Thank you SO MUCH
Please make a in depth tutorial on classic pass it's covers tips tricks subtlties of it please
I will work on it! Give me a couple of weeks though 😅 I just want to make sure I cover everything but I will do it!
Ah, one of the first few self-working tricks I learned from a few years ago. I usually just do the mentalism reveal or hold their hand to feel their pulse bullish*t. Great way to hold a girl's hand BTW. 😁. As a reminder, you can only shuffle the deck ONCE, to be safe. But you can cut it multiple times and the trick still works.
Cutting the deck more than once is a good tip! Thank you for putting that in the comments!
i likwed your tutorial i was struggling with getting the bottom card free but the tips you gave made all the difference
I appreciate it! Please let me know how I can help you further!
Bossing that quarantine, nice vid man thanks, good tips to improve the move and I like the different variations you go through. I've wondered why this technique doesn't get used more and realised I think people think it's too simple, however, I've also come to realise it doesn't matter how you carry out your deception so long as it deceives. It can make you feel better doing something with a higher level of difficulty but a seemingly simpler method can be just as effective a lot of the time.
EXACTLY...people don’t realize that harder sleights should be used but more importantly it makes your easier sleight of hand that much better. But people get stuck with doing the harder sleight because it was more difficult to do and don’t want to waste their time practicing it and not using it
First comment! Love your videos! And how's Japan?
Amazing!
And thank you for watching my videos!
@@jamespena6325 your videos are amazing and simple!
@@purplepotato2015 I appreciate it! Please let me know if there is anything I can help with today or any other video’s tutorial 🙂
@@jamespena6325 sure! If you could maybe can you do the push off double? I'm not sure if you have done that before, thanks
I loved this tutorial! Any word on why cull the card from the 8th position? Is that just a style or does it have any advantages? Either way I stopped using the Hindu force a while back for this one as I agree with you it’s not the best.
If you watch my cull video you’ll see why 👍
