Subtle Concepts DVD is now available

This past summer while at my brother's wedding in Hawaii, I took part in the filming of Subtle Concepts, a card magic dvd with two of Hawaii's top card guys.

I did a few color changes and card productions. I'm the one in white board shorts.

I am not officially crazy

The Card Flourish group known as "The Virts" (www.theVirts.com) had a video contest called, "Crazy Ones." What was required for the video entry was an introduction answering a few questions, and then a video that had playing cards in it and used the soundtrack from the Apple Computer Commercials. The footage used had to be of the entrant and/or taken by the entrant.

The principles for the video competition were:
Its a message to be crazy and to accomplish all that you wish to because you can.
Its a message to Think Different.
So lets all be the crazy ones together. I did not win the Crazy Ones competition, but I did get an Honorable Mention and won the Anaconda Original Soundtrack, scored by top Singapore music composer and producer, Roland Lim. Here is what they said about me:

KC Ushijima:

DAMMMMMN!! You are one ridiculously skilled dude. And proposing with our Ninja Spring Grab was absolutely crazy. We definitely appreciated your submission… and it’s definitely going to inspire a lot of card handlers out there. Thank you man. http://wld2009.com/members/the-crazy-ones-winners/

The videos with Lee Asher's Diving Board Double Flourish

These are probably my two most famous card flourish videos I made back in 2003 when I was living in Japan. It uses a flourish created by magician Lee Asher (www.LeeAsher.com). To learn this flourish, please visit his website.

Color Changes in Iowa - July 2009

Here are some color changes. If I got some of the names wrong, it's because I don't know who came up with the change first and published it. And some of the changes, I came up with on my own or just combined elements of other changes to make my own handling.

K.C. and Ashlee Attempt the Ninja Spring

Here is how I proposed to my fiance using a card trick called the Ninja Spring Grab created by the Virts (www.theVirts.com)
