Cardman 2009 School Talent Show *Stage Performance*

Card Man · 05-2-2009, 09:14 AM

Hey everyone! Just yesterday I was in my school talent show. I thought maybe I would share this experience with you all. Those who know me will enjoy this even more.

Here is the story (Short Version): This was a talent show event in Colonia High School. At the beginning; I dropped the box and then a few seconds later; the music got messed up. They had a lot of technical difficulties throughout the entire show. In the end, I performed after starting all over; and I was a success. I decided to keep all the clips in this video and I didn't omit the part where I had to start over because I wanted to give everyone the full experience of what it was like to be in this talent show.

In the end, I won 2nd place and I had an amazing time with my family, friends, and myself.

Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M02w0eHmXO4

Thank you for taking the time to watch me.

Alright, not gonna lie, that was pretty f**king cool. I can barely shuffle cards and you're doign that o.o.

Good job man, congrats on 2nd!

But Let me guess, some chick one first place for singing a song right?

The blindfolded part was cool haha.

Thanks for the comments everyone. The person who took first place was a girl who played piano. Though; alot of the audience after the show told me that they thought I should have won 1st place. Honestly; I am a winner to myself and in their eyes. I mean....when asked about the show many times before I had done it; I said, "I am not in it to win; I simply wish to gain the experience of my first stage performance ever, though it would be nice to have a trophy in my hands." In the end, I got the experience and a trophy. 1st; 2nd; or 3rd; it doesn't matter; I had fun and I gained a lot from it all. I hope my video gave you all a true experience of what I went through.

lol good job i guess

jellygod · 05-3-2009, 04:51 PM

lol i was thinking of playing stepmania, or ddr for my talent show. but i was too lazy to bring my metal pad/ keyboard or whatever for the tryouts. i could have gotten in though. its unique you guys have trophys for your talent show. we dont have those, everyone just performs.

Crashfan3 · 05-3-2009, 09:45 PM

I'll be straight honest, video quality was so bad that I couldn't see what you were doing and gave up watching about three minutes in.

I'll take everyone else's word for it and award you an internet cookie of awesome.

Xx{Midnight}xX · 05-4-2009, 01:03 AM

With the fact it's hard to tell what your doing aside I was impressed. You should do a small instructional video one any of that. I'd love to see how its done. BTW: Dude you'd win our school's upcoming show hands down. (Or cards in the air if that's what you'd like.)

**badman7772** · 05-4-2009, 02:30 AM

You should have played FFR and shuffle one handed at the same time. Either way though shuffling the cards like that is just insane.

**nois-or-e** · 05-4-2009, 05:23 AM

I do card tricks myself. And though i am typing this before watching (it is loading) The one handed shuffle is qwuite an impressive trick. I use it at my local poker games regularly.
Close up magic is the balls though

EDIT: 5 mins in and it's all flourishes so far... Do you have a close-up set worked out? And damn you are short bro...

**funmonkey54** · 05-4-2009, 05:40 AM

learn to juggle cards. =D

**StepmaniaGod6969** · 05-4-2009, 07:38 AM

very nice man

Haha thanks. By the way; I am not short; I filmed this off a television after I plugged my dad's crappy camcorder up to it. So the television makes me look short. I am 5 foot 9 so if that is short; okay then...lol Also; I know the one-handed shuffle along with many other complex flourishes. Though; when used in a routine like this; they are no longer flourishes; you have stepped beyond that into the world of Xtreme Card Manipulation.

As for any tutorials; we will see; there are plenty of them around youtube both bad and good. Juggling cards you say? It is very possible but I currently have not learned that yet. Thanks again for all the comments and sorry about the bad quality. If you like what you see; subscribe! I have many more videos planned for the future.
