ATTENTION ALL CARDISTS!!
The Mana Deck was created in honor of three art forms. One of them is Cardistry. So in honor of all our Cardists members, we're excited to launch this next contest! The challenge has been staring at you in the face for the past month now. Take a look at the joker and you'll know what your next challenge is! ;)
The Challenge:
Create a flourish video that incorporates the Oracle Cut in the middle of the flourish. The Oracle Cut is a Sybil Cut variation ending with an Angel display. We trust that you already know these basic flourishes, but if you don't, its time to do a little research...
