When Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2,000 times to develop the carbonized cotton-thread filament for the incandescent light bulb. And when asked about it, he said "I didn't fail; I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb," but he only needed one way to make it work.

Chris you inspired me to start cardistry! I recently went through ACL surgery and to keep my self busy for weeks of being in bed I thought of doing magic tricks. Went on KZread and the first card video I saw was yours and you really inspired me to pick up the cards. Your videos are so entertaining and fun to watch because of your personality, I really love it. Now I'm hooked to my cards 24/7. I barely use my phone now, my mom used to yell at me saying stop using your phone and now it's stop using your cards lol. Thank you again for introducing me to my new love and passion and please never stop making videos it really makes me happy and want to learn more. Thank you again. Lots of love and God bless.

One thing that seems to really help mean clean up moves is to step away for a while and come back fresh. A small break can really makes a difference. Also for some reason switching up the deck seems to change the mechanics a bit. Each of my decks act a little different. Could just be phycological, but I thought I would share.

My hands are so tiny. Mad respect when you pulled out that big deck and still continued to do tricks. You’re great.

Love that you mention hand size. A regular bicycle deck almost dwarfs my hands, and at first it was a struggle to even shuffle a deck. Can’t wait to learn more.

Your last part about your mind practicing even when you're not is 100% spot on. We are learning about mindfulness techniques in my cognitive psychology class. Pro athletes use it all the time. Lots of studies have shown it's effectiveness.

I can see the work you put on every video. So well made. Made me smile with the giant cards and the moves you made with them. Just that takes an effort people don't see at first.

Just ordered my first set of cards, was inspired by your videos and ordered your red knights.. Looking forward to trying out this cool sport. Already into flower sticks and throwing knives, this will complete my trifecta..

Ah yes, flower sticks, throwing knives, and playing cards. The Holy Trinity.

How to start cardistry: open up School of Cardistrys youtube channel and start from their first video "grips". Then progress forward. The most important tips i have for beginner cardists: 1. Only focus on the moves you actually like. Otherwise you'll end up wasting your time. 2. Find a community. If you dont have cardist friends irl head over to reddit or discord, the community is the most important thing about cardistry. Without the community, I would've quit over a year ago.

I find this video very uplifting, not just in cardistry but life in general. Thanks for doing this vid!

I started cardistry for a Halloween costume and I had about 3 months to prepare. I'm still very much a beginner but I never thought I would become so addicted to something I just wanted to check out. Thanks for all the help Chris!

Chris Ramsay is clear and his videos unlike others are very simple and entertaining. He has a great way of putting you in to your own comfort zone and level. Good videos, keep it up.

Super stoked on all your content man.

Only just discovered this video. Really appreciated the nod to the yoyo/kendama community! I'm coming from yoyos myself over to cardistry and can't wait to learn.

I watched your top 5 favorite decks of 2017 video just a few months ago. It was suck an intriguing video and you did a fantastic job on describing the cards. It was almost like I could feel what you were felling on each deck. So I bought a couple of your favorite and have learned a lot. I now have all your favorite decks except the smoke and mirrors private reserve and the Dan and Dave private reserve. I never thought in a million years I would be playin with cards like I do. You have gotten me through a lot and you just don’t know it. Peace!

This was super helpful! Thanks for making this.

The reason I started cardistry was because it looked really cool, and it looked like a very fun thing to learn. The first thing I learned was one of your cardistry videos, and after that I was hooked into it. I love it, and it is so much fun to do. Great video Chris.

Found your channel about a month ago, and now I'm learning cardistry, some magic tricks AND I just bought some puzzles, levels 1-8. So thank you for bringing this interest into my life

thanks for everything you do you've got me started i am a mechanic and take alot of the moves you've taught me and started doing them with nuts and bolts, gears, my favorite is a nut and bolt that "magically" screw together thanks

From as far back as I can remember I have loved cards. I got into dealing black jack and loving cards and the feel of them. I never knew there were other freaks like me out there and that this was a thing. YOU showed me I have a place in the world. Thanks to you I'm gonna start learning cardistry. Thank you for your passion.

I’m just a 62 year old empty-nester Mom who LOVES close-up magic. Cards are my fave. Coins are great, too. But, CARDS! And I can barely shuffle. Then, online, I run into this CARDISTRY thingy! LOL! Never saw anything like it. Big props to all those who take the time, dedication, have the tenacity to be their best. I watch so much of it. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, CHRIS! You’re very humble and mad with appreciation for other magicians and cardists. You are so fun and crack me up!

whenever I get discouraged by my lack of progress in cardistry I watch this video ... and it helps me every time so thank you, master **bow**

Could you teach us the moves at 37 seconds and 23? Also I love the way you see cardistry and the moves that you create. You are a HUGE inspiration to me

0:23 3D by Chase Duncan just look that up and you will find a tutorial. Edit: here you go kzread.info/dash/bejne/naaZpbWHh8rPoJM.html

watching your videos i love your look and this all pick up cards 3 weeks ago and have had them in my pocket ever since

Thanks Chris, like a lot of things, especially on youtube, half of making it look easy is not showing the part where it was really hard. One thing I found that helps me with problem moves is to make the moves very slowly at first, even using your other hand to help stabilize (in a one-handed cut) and to put the cards where they should be and you can then figure out where the cutting hand needs to be and why you keep dropping them. For me, it's usually a matter of where on the fingertip the corner/edge is. A 1/4 inch can be a big difference. Anyway, I started watching your videos to learn some magic tricks to do for my kids and such, but was always fascinated by cardistry, but mostly just to watch. Now the kids harass me for carrying cards everywhere because I also watched your cardistry vids and started wanting to learn more. Lastly, I have your Memento Mori cards and they are simply the best for fanning of all the cards I've used, just so smooth easy to distribute evenly. I hope you make more and do some that are all Ramsey, but closer to traditional card design - think Unchained or DB's Lions series, etc. Thanks again!

Hell yeah i laughed so hard when you pulled out that thick as huge deck XD

Funny thing. Im not exactly a beginner but Im still pretty shit so I still watch your cardistry videos. Plus I like the vibe some of your moves have like hubble.

This helped me a lot .... I learned so many cardistry moves that i never thought i would never learn ... Thanks a lot Chris.

I'm watching this on my cousins account but thank you ,I've started with cardistry yesterday and was having trouble with the in hand riffle shuffle and you reminded me to think outside the box and i am better at it and I'm rocking my 15 year old life, thank you again

I gave a like because I know what POGs are.

Man, i just got my first bycicles this morning ... 20 minutes ago actually... and everything is falling out of my hands lol

Im starting as soon as I get my cards haha. It's actually because of watching your videos. I've always been fascinated by it and wanted to get into a few years ago but I didn't know what it was called until now and you re-inspired me to get into it so thank you!

Hey chris just wanted to extend my thanks to you sir for these videos and your positive attitude aswell. Now i know this will sound cheesy but you indirectly motivated me to grab the decks once again. Fell in love instantly with cardistry and already doing one handed cuts and beginner flourishes. Im back at it again and also bought a killer bee deck. As soon as they arrive im more than certain that will motivate me even more. Thanks for your content, tutorials and reviews, keep it up.

I started cardistry at 20th May 2017 (a year after the video liquid paper by the virts) after seeing that video, I fell in love with cardistry and I'm now 5 months into it and it's been a great experience so far. Tip: finger exercises help you really get better helped me too. Tell me what cut you want me to learn .( I'm into spinny things and comfy things)

I'm a musician but didnt want that to be the only way to impress her. She lights up every time I learn something new. Its really cool. Thanks again bro!

I just got myself a deck of cards and will try some cardistry. If I ever get the hang of it, you'll have given me the spark and support for starting. Thanks!

I have started practising since 2 weeks, i have the black tiger deck for one week now and I have practised the spring so much, the corners are becoming white..

Cardisty is so much fun and i love it. I started out with a False Cut and i developed it into a flurish. Now i have Made three flourishes myself. They are simple but Mine...

right on man i still have a bunch and it is actually not a bad concept for a game, but the biggest downfall is you need a little space to play so that thing are not interfering with other people. If i knew someone that would play id still play with the commons or duplicates but i love the art on them you cant find old artwork from that era very often that is intriguing except old magic cards but i new got into that unfortunately i guess lol

I started cardistry when I saw you the first time. I got here from the german KZreadr MrTriXXL, and the first video I ever saw from you was the reverse waterfall tutorial. Since then I started practising, I dropped cards, I picked them up and started again. I'm still pretty terrible at cardistry but I keep doing it. I am actually filming a cardistry Video for my Instagram. So thank you Chris for being my inspiration. Thank You Chris for inspiring not only me, but a lot of people to keep doing what we love. Wir lieben dich Chris!

2:05 Hehe.. Get it.. "Deck-sterity" xD

You can have all my decks if you reply Chris Shhhhhh....If you do reply I'll just edit that bit out tbh

Thanks man, extremely helpful tips

Hey Chris I am Richard and lives in Holland and my inspiration comes from you and now I teach young people the art. Thanks for the inspiration 🤘✌

It’s super interesting bc when I’m learning a new trick, a day after the first time I’ve practiced it, I can do it a lot better than the first time, even tho I haven’t even touched a deck of cards in abt 12h. It’s super cool how the brain processes the new information even when you’re not doing it

I learnt it from you my man! I have now got really into it and improved a lot, thanks!!

i love that you mentioned kendama and yoyos, which are the first skill toy type hobbies i got into when i was a little kid, and now im 19 and want to learn this shit

Loved the cardist compilation

Such a dope beat at the beginning!!! Little hands have been the bane of my existence lol still gonna practice though.

saw a video pop up in my recommended section and then fell in love with cardistry

This was a video I was waiting for as well lol... I’ve always wanted to start cardistry.

this is the challenge for me now! i feel natural playing darts with both hands and flip butterfly knives the filipino way in both hands. THIS and WRITING and GUITAR with the other hands is such a challenge! thank you for the inspiration papa Chris!

Wow @chrisramsay great shout out to finger tutting. I glove and do lots of finger tutting! Love to see a mixture of both artforms that have the potential to help each other out!! Love it

I saw my friend doing sybil cut and snap change and i became superinterested in cardistry and magic. Then i saw your tutorial to 3pac shakur and it was one of my first fluorishes. Thank u for that 👊💪

Best! Best damn vid for me, for beginners. Somewhere I forgot to keep having fun and got lost in the grind. You rock!

I really like the approach !!!

awesome video! really inspirational!!!!

this is so out of my realm but DAAAMMMNNN this is cool af!!! love it mad talent bro!!

Chris great tip about practicing over a soft surface. I've started practicing sitting on the couch, with an ottoman in front with a blanket draped over my lap and the ottoman to catch all the cards I drop.

New to the channel, late to the video, but very appreciative of this. And yes, Pogs were awesome! Had some wicked slammers.

Late to the game but your video is excellent. Very inclusive and open. Starting to try today!

m still working on it and still practicing thanx for teaching

Really insightful video man. Keep it up.

Thanks for those tips chris ! Really nice vid I really appreciate it ^^
