- Yo what's up guys?
Welcome back.
It's Friday.
Weekends comin' up guys.
Today I just wanna share with you a few Instagram accounts,
that you may not be familiar with.
The Instagram accounts that we're gonna be focusing on,
are cardists.
These guys are like the top of the game.
Top of the line.
Best there is.
Some of my favorite cardistry Instagram accounts.
Before we do somebody sent me this in the mail.
Was really really cool thought I'd give it,
a little bit of a shout out,
as their Kickstarter is coming up on June third.
This is Iron Clays came counter playing cards.
This little box comes complete with two beautiful decks,
they will be printed by the USPCC.
And it also comes with these poker chips.
Or as they call them game counters.
I guess gambling isn't allowed to be promoted.
I assure you I will be using it to gamble.
Taking so much money from my friends.
These drawers are magnetic.
Really well built.
I believe the Art of Play is going to be doing,
the shipment of this but I can't be entirely sure.
Super heavy box.
Looks really good.
Threw it up on the shelf.
Like I said it'll only be live June third.
They've not contacted me.
They did not ask me to share this.
I'm not getting anything in return.
In fact I don't even know if I should be,
showing you this ahead of time.
But here it is.
So there you go.
Good work.
Now on to my favorite cardistry Instagram accounts.
All right so tobiaslvn, here's his Instagram.
(upbeat music)
Bah!
Stop.
It doesn't stop.
That's what happens, he just does it,
and it never stops.
He just keeps going.
(upbeat music)
You see what I mean with consistency?
Like even that deck flip.
That would be like.
I would film that.
Let's say like I practiced for years,
got that cut down.
I do the deck flip,
and this is exactly what would've happen.
Ready?
Every time.
Somehow gravity doesn't affect this guy.
Some two handed stuff.
W-ah.
(upbeat music)
Just so,
floppy, flippy floppy and pretty.
Using all my adjectives today.
(upbeat music)
(chuckles softly)
I'd love to be able to do cardistry,
like this.
I say that but I don't practice,
even close to how much I should.
Oh is this accreted.
Accreted is one of my favorite displays,
and cuts he's ever done.
Did on directors cut. Tried to learn it from there,
I got about halfway through,
and I still can't get the ending.
That's what this looks like.
(upbeat music)
Shoo.
Look at the closer.
(blows out softly) Oh so nice.
Let's see that again.
(upbeat music)
That closer where he wraps around.
This is where I get stuck.
So I can do this part.
I can get here and do that display,
and then it's here when I come around,
that's where my life starts falling apart.
See.
They make it look so easy.
When you watch these videos you're like,
oh, I wanna learn that.
And then you spend three hours in front of the computer.
Pressing space bar with your elbow to pause the video.
Boom.
I think it's here.
And then he drops this.
Opens that up.
And then boom.
Boom! (chuckles softly)
Nailed it.
So that is tobiaslvn if you're interested.
Have a look at his stuff.
He's incredible.
Nice playing cards.
Nice pictures, nice guy.
Next up birger_k.
Birger Karlsson.
I say Birg because everyone calls him burger,
but his Birger.
And he is insane.
This guys one of the most athletic cardists I've ever seen.
He just posted this actually 25 minutes ago.
Let's have a look.
And it's showing.
(upbeat music)
All right, no big deal.
M'kay.
No big deal.
Might delete later.
Whatever, this is cool.
He's always like known for these crazy displays.
Look at this stuff.
Actually where's he going with this.
(upbeat music)
Wow!
What?
Yo he gave that fan a comb over.
That fan now has a comb over.
I just wanna watch every one of his videos actually.
(upbeat music)
Where his fingers coming from?
I feel like he has more fingers than I do.
Oh this is cool.
I love this stuff.
Check this out.
Look at this.
(blows breath out loudly)
(upbeat music)
Oh what?
It's like a game of Plinko, with playing cards.
All right a little fan.
And he'll put it on his foot, 'cause why not.
And then okay.
That.
(upbeat music)
Wow!
Oh my God.
I think this guy might do like the most difficult cardistry.
I have a feeling that like most the stuff he does,
cannot be done by any other human on this planet.
Whoa!
What is happening.
I can't even follow one of his hands.
I need two hands to do what one of his hands does,
and even then it'll like, I have to jump cut it.
(chuckles softly)
I remember seeing this guy at Cardistry-Con,
in New York.
And he did like, he did like.
He threw a card up in the air,
did a back flip and caught it.
Literally.
Not like he wasn't good enough.
He just has to like add a back flip,
to his amazing cardistry.
'Cause you know,
anybody can just do amazing cardistry.
Want more from Birger era.
(upbeat music)
Look at that.
(upbeat jazz music)
What is that?
What was that?
All right next up in line is a recent discovery,
this guy is currently, I guess,
competing in the Cardistry-Con Championships, CCC.
You guys can check that site out.
So they have this whole bracket thing,
I think they're in the semi-finals now.
And yangthebunny on Instagram.
You should check him out.
His stuff is incredible.
And not only is his cardistry really great,
his editing skills are insane too.
Like he's very creative.
One thing I love about cardistry,
and I've always really loved about it.
Is that it's a video based art form.
And that most of the well known cardists,
add this amazing vidoegraphy and editing skills,
to their already incredible cardistry.
Which makes it even more mind blowing.
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Yeah, so if you wanna learn that, then you be my guest.
That is crazy.
We got here.
"A quick demonstration slow motion,
"for my Revolution 2 Twirl Variation."
Okay.
What!
Hold up.
How is that even possible to twirl the card so fast?
And he does it in slow-mo, so I guess like a tutorial now.
Let's go.
Pushes it.
Yeah.
Got you.
Yeah.
That's it?
That doesn't look right.
That's not what he's doing.
Next video.
What's this.
What's this here.
What's he got going on?
(upbeat music)
(chuckles softly)
Cute.
No big deal.
(chuckles softly)
What about this?
Yup just casually,
flicking cards.
Ooh!
What was that?
This guys a whole new level.
Please adopt me.
That's a nice Spring.
What is that?
What's happening?
Never been fooled by a Spring before.
Oh it's so buttery.
Everything he does is butter.
(upbeat music)
That's an interesting,
display or way to hold a deck.
That's it huh?
What's this one?
Oh my God.
What, using his body?
All right guys go show Yang some love dude.
This guys got, he's just shy of 5,000 followers,
let's get him to 5,000 at least like.
This guys crazy man.
He uploads consistently.
And he's put together some YouTube videos together too,
which are exceptional.
Lastly Oliver Sogard.
Or as I call him Oliver So-good.
He also.
So Oliver runs Dealers Grip,
which is another cardistry playing card company.
You can check his cards out as well.
Follow the link on his.
I'll leave all these guys, their socials below,
so you can check out their Instagram's.
And this is Oliver.
Oliver's known for like some incredible packet cuts.
Check this one out, this display looks nuts dude.
Here we go.
(upbeat music)
And ah!
See that's where he lost me.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
Whoa.
Also this guy has like the biggest hands I've ever seen.
Met him in person, he's like 6'4", 6'5"
He's got some big mitts on him.
He's also funny.
His Instagram's hilarious.
He'll post some like funny stuff,
like this one.
"How to get arthritis in your hand."
All right you ready?
You guys ready to get arthritis?
This is how, his tutorial.
Here we go.
Whoa!
It like it's just so randomly flopping around.
- Ow!
Ouch.
(chuckles softly)
- He's one handed.
What?
Get outta here.
(upbeat music)
It's crazy cause like when he's in to cardistry,
his hands balance from left to right.
And that is what holds the cards up half the time, right.
So it's not only complicated,
to get your fingers in certain positions,
to get these packets out.
But he's relying sometimes halfway through the cut,
on reversing the gravity.
And I just think that makes it twice as complex.
Really dope stuff.
He's got some good pictures up as well.
(upbeat music)
Like look at this stuff.
Also very consistent cardist,
and probably the best packet cuts in the world.
(upbeat music)
I could watch this all day.
Look at that!
Look at that interesting way of holding a deck.
And because his hands are so big,
there aren't very many people,
who can get away with a cut like that, but he can.
Look at these mitts, look at the size of these hands.
"He says "Up for grabs."
"Selling my hands."
"A pair of 23 year old hands."
I'd buy.
10 on 10.
All right last one from Oliver.
(upbeat music)
(chuckles loudly)
Ah there you go boys.
That is it for checkin' out some Instagram accounts.
As you can tell, like these are some of,
the best cardists in the world.
There're so many more great cardists out there.
A lot of Instagram accounts.
Be sure to check them out, you know.
Send 'em my way.
Drop 'em in the comments below,
or on my Instagram and I'll have a look at them.
Just really great to see the creativity here.
Insane.
Also definitely check out the CCC,
the Cardistry-Con Championship,
that's happening right now.
It's super interesting and like every year,
the boundaries are being pushed by these amazing artists.
Guys thanks so much.
I left the links of these guys below.
We'll see you on the next video.
Peace out.
