i started off with magic and then got to know CC and then saw so many great flourishers out there. i saw vids by bielski, tobias, bone and william. Bielski gave me support when i first started.And yeah william's flourish away vid was so amazing and so superd. at that young tender age he already so pro. ive seen some of his vids lately and man he has surely improve a lot! super pro now. Then later got to know other sporeans flourishers and even got to meet them... these pros are BONE, HURON, KEVIN, SLY, CAI, DARYL... man.. the virtuosos.... great man. there inspire me a lot! The pic i took with them when i was in spore i will print out and laminate and hang on my wall.

I used to hate flourishing, and I really sucked at it anyway. Then end 2003, I met a Singapore-based American-born Chinese (S.b.A.b.C) called Kevin on the old Cheaterscheater. I never really met up with him, but he directed me to the (old) site of the Buck Twins and the Spring Jam trailer, where I was convinced (like Huron) that it was all CGI, because it was just so effin' smooth and insane. February 2004, I met up with Kevin at a local magic shop. I saw him flourish, screamed like a girl, tripped on the doorstep and suffered a concussion. When I woke up in hospital I had the sudden impulse to want to take a deck of cards and do really really really crazy stuff like that. Later mid-2004, I met Bone. Nuff' said. Both still make me scream when I see them flourish to this day. I got myself some Cap, Tudor and Buck stuff and yeah, it kinda started from there.
Oh yeah, I still suck at it.
