How I got started in Cardistry and Why?

MAGICAL PAPERS

     A few years back I started learning magic, but after learning a few months I somehow lost interest in it. Then I came across Cardistry, It was like love at first sight because I found out people just create these fascinating displays and movements with just 52 pieces of rectangular papers. And I just happen to love creating things. 

     I thought why not give it a try. So, I started learning basic grips and simple packet cuts from Youtube. And that is how I got started in dropping cards. ( Only Cardists get this joke, so if you want to know what I meant, start doing Cardistry. )

CREATIVITY 

     As I was surfing through Youtube looking at tutorials I came across this channel named punchwater (Sean O.). He was so cool doing Cardistry and doing crazy editings in his videos. I never thought something as basic as papers could make you so cool. ( Sean if you're reading this you're an inspiration to me and I think you're awesome ).

      From his videos I found out Cardistry had endless possibilities if you're willing to put in the work. That is the main reason why I started in Cardistry, so that I can express my imagination through art. From him, I learned that Cardistry isn't just about flourishes and displays, it is about having fun and how the person doing it expresses this beautiful form of art. I also realized creativity plays an important role in Cardistry.

     One of the other reasons why I got started is to keep me creative all the time. And I am going to keep on doing it as long as possible because I love doing it and I love the cardistry community a lot. 

I feel like its not a cardistry blog post without a cardistry video. So here's one of my first packet cut To and Fro Cut.
