Hm I don’t have permission to watch this video…
LOL ! HURON !
Lol :)) !!! U so Funny :)) !!
Man you a terrible liar lol but I did love the attempt it made me remember all the old magic video I have where people say its passed down generation to generation etc etc and you always think yeah right you made it up last week at least you don’t attempt to cover it :-D
Still a very nice little piece its a pity not all spectators can spring or this would be a great magician spectator reveal of selected card.
Good luck with the site I hope it works out for you.
Hey you guys, First i just want to say that this move is fantastic. Not only that but you guys produce videos so professionally its very entertaining. I can’t wait to see what else you have coming out way.

Hey, I’m really hoping the site works out, I’m getting the word out to my buddies, since we’ve always been interested in this kind of thing.
My question probably has an obvious answer, but bear with me, I’m an idiot (says so in the screenname and everything). What kind of cards work best for flourishes?
Pretty sick move….and even sicker idea with that “face up card reacting” method^^…too bad i know no other flourishing magician around here..so nobody can do a spring for me to try =P
Keep up ya good work^^ *another daily visitor for the virts*
What is the name of the song between 6:58 to the end of the video?
@wjeung21:
The track is “Gettysburg” by Ratatat, off of their excellent album “Classics”.

Thanks alot virts!
And friend of mine can do a spring and I told him to do one, then I did the grab and he freaked out xD
Nice video, thanks! As I side note I have performed with great effect with a friend for many years (he can only spring the cards) plucking a selected or signed card from the spring. Of course the only way to do this without being a real Ninja is to have the selection backpalmed and produce it (via a simple backpalm production) while your hand goes into the spring. The finesse used on this should be obvious; empty hand (?) shown and posed ready for production while partner does a practice spring or two, stating some baloney like “I think their card it number thirty two from the top, ready?” Spring, dive in, produce the single and viola. I’m sure it’s been done before but can’t say I’ve seen it. But now I know how to really do it instead of faking it, now how can we do it as clean but with a selected card…hmmmm.
Such a great vid as usual. But is there a way to do that without having another person doing the spring?
dude you guys should make a tutorial for shooting a card or springing a pack of cards off the deck and catching them in the other hand then springing them back.
by the way the ninja grab rocks, i just need to teach someone else how to spring cards to do it.
YOU R THE BEST
I can’t watch the vids even tho I am an insider and have adobe 9 installed. It just shows white spaces please help?
@michael
Seems like there’s something up with Vimeo’s video service recently… we’ve also been unable to play certain Vimeo videos of other peoples’, both embedded and on their site. Hopefully it’ll get fixed soon, otherwise we’ll look into less buggy alternatives!

hey,nice video Huron!
it’s a great one..
btw,i wanted to know where did you buy your outside clothes? (not the t-shirt) i really loved it ! x)
thank you b4
This is not only for the Ninja move but for all of what you guys represent. YOU ARE AWSOME!!!!
I’ve been fascinated by your style for a while and I have been checking the net for almost a year now searching for something that you guys may put on the market, in vain. Apparently the waiting is coming to an end and you are going to release some hot stuff starting with the Anaconda project.
Please let me know if there will (or is) a store that I could relate to in order to purchase anything you may put forward.
Great stuff.
All my best, and keep growing.

Wonderful tutorial, and interesting story u have made!
Keep up the good work, i like the way u project ur ideas and how u bring across the every single minor details of how this move should be done.
Hopefully, we get to meet and i can see it live!
Wondering have you heard of Alphaplus Magic?
Wow!!!!!
You guys are amazing!!!
I love all your videos, you are a really good teacher.
Great video! I just now started the art of card flourishes about a week ago and I was very lucky to find this website. Quick question on the Flicker, it seems that everytime I do it the card slips between my middle and pointer finger, any tips on that? I can’t do it very fast yet, but I’m sure that will come with practice.
Keep the videos and tutorials coming!
Hey I think you guys are great, I honestly came across all this by acident. I am a big Gambit fan and was looking at stuff on youtube about him and I came across you guys. I was just blown away at your Gambit video it was amazing and I compleatly agree he should have been more like that in the movie.
One question: When will you teach that one handed shuffle he does near the begining
Also sorry I know I said one question but I just want to know, does it make a difference if you have small hands?
haha..one hell of a video..it was so funny how he gave the preview of the tutorial..NINJA SPRING GRAb ROCKS..
very nice =] love the move huron is soooo funny lmfao
Dude nice videos. Keep em commin man! I’d like to know how to do the Tornado Cut, so if you could post a video on that you’d be mah hero for sure!
HURON’ YOU ROCK! I’m new to the Art, and am truly inspired by the way you present and represent the Art of Card Flourishing’ Taking it to the Next Level and beyond, keep up the awesome work” looking forward to the next episode of VIRT TV” peace.
Huron, I haven’t become such an instant fan of someone in all of my recallable memory. I think ur a very gifted teacher. and please keep those videos coming, even though I cannot do all the flourishes and tricks (as I m new to the art or science), I at least like to satisfy my curiosity. cool man!
dang,. that was a helpful one,. anyhow,. do u have any tips about improving ur grip?
LOL! NINJA!
what is the name of the song in the beggining of the video?
hey i have a crazy idea that you guys at virts should try out and if i remember ill try it, but you know how you take one card out with one hand, well you take one card out with the hand and another with the other hand so take one left and one right. so you end up with one card in each hand therefore making it a double ninja grab.
also another idea hit me. as you take the first card out, you put it back in and take another one with your other hand out as if you change your mind and you could do that as many times as you anted and as i picture it it would look really sweet.
i missed a word. i said “as many times as you anted and as i pictured it…” well the word anted was really wanted
hey huron, i really like your cards and id like to say that im in Canada. B.C. vancouver island ind i would like to know do they sell the cards your using there? plz reply soon
Great video!
Awesome! I hope you guys keep doing stuff like this!
Thanks, it’s good for beginner like me :)
AWSM……………… Thnx 4 teachng us :)
First awesome video! Really cool things in here.
I have two questions:
First how many hours/days of practice did it take you to get these tricks correct?
Second, how do you throw one card from one hand to the other hand while making it spin in the air before you catch it in the other hand?
Thanks very much and keep up the awesome tricks!!!
what made you start doing flourishes and card tricks?
LOL u were so funny xD
awesome video…….
i love virts tv….
I love VIRTS TV!!!! Best TV ever. My hands hurt from practicing so much but I love you anyway. In 10 years I will be CARD NINJA
I want tips on the flicker move because my hand is a little too small and i have difficulty reaching for the card with my middle finger so plz help caz im now >>> D:
AWESOME!!!
