Cardistry: A New Art Form You have probably never heard of it, but cardistry is an exciting new art form invented relatively recently. Using playing cards, practitioners aim to manipulate the cards in an elegant way. It began as an offshoot of magic and was expanded into what it is now. Most people agree that two guys named Dan and Dave took this step. Since then,
many companies have formed devoted solely to the production of playing cards for this purpose. Dan and Dave grew up in America in a small town. Because there was not much to do, they had to come up with their own entertainment. Thus they got into magic. A friend showed them a flourish (a small flair of talent designed to create interest in particular card tricks). They took this and made it better; suddenly, cardistry was born! Last year, in 2014, the first cardistry convention took place. This year, a bigger, better cardistry con took place. Present were the biggest names in the art: Dan and Dave, Zach Mueller and Virtuoso. Only 52 people went to the three day event, but many more applied. Hopefully, 2016 will bring an even greater convention! There are many ways to learn cardistry; you can look on YouTube if you are just starting out. Or for more advanced flourishes, you can buy tutorials off many websites. With help, cardistry can become as widespread as skateboarding. If you are interested contact WhitwellAD@dulwich.org.uk or just look for tutorials online.
