Came back to this channel after a long time, used to be obsessed with cardistry even have the 2017 deck.. used to binge your videos I loved them all! Whatever happened to it, it gave me a lot of joy and I’m happy I had this phase
I started in 2015 and i watched the rise of cardistry. It was surreal. The craze, the seriousness damnn. Then I stopped after covid. Didn’t realise that the community will go down that quick. All the legends are gone. Rarely i see new kids starting. There are no cardists, only card collectors left. And they will also be done in no time.
I just got into Cardistry and am super grateful for this channel and all you do for the community, hoping to keep the spirit alive ! 👏🏾
I actually keep rewatching your cardistry con 2017 video, it's really nice and everything I love about cardistry that being said glad you're back to making videos. Cheers
Lmao copied my comment eh
I learned about cardistry in 2016, when I was still studying at the university and had a lot of time to practice. I left everything in 2018 returning to it from time to time. Now I'm here again and I aim to finally learn something! Wish me luck
My take on this topic is that ever since the big compitions like CCC and trials stopped to happen there was a big decline in the creativity, now people don't have any reason to create and post, even after the pandemic cardistry looked strong but not anymore, plus the motive of the cardists back then was to grow our community as much as possible and put our hobby out there to show that cardistry is also a beautiful art form, but now sadly it's more about money
To revive this situation we need big names to give the community a boost, Andrei jikh, Dynamo, Tobias etc

nice having you here!
Great video - You guy's videos taught me my first cardistry moves. Stay healthy and stay safe.
I think a big part of it here in the UK is that the cost of living is so high that people in general are struggling to make ends meet so for a lot of people, buying bricks of cards (especially things like Fontaines) is just not feasible currently ☹️ I have always absolutely loved your content though so I hope you stay safe and keep up the good work 🙂
Great video. thank you for talking about this matter.
I love your videos guys and i have been a fan of cardiatry and magic for years and years. I truly hope that yhe community managea to bounce back to where it was. You guys are amazing and i hope to get my hands on a couple of bricks of the new cards, they look epic ❤
appreciate you sticking with the channel, this is going to be our biggest project ever and we barely have enough time to prepare all the teasers and promo, hate that it may feel scuffed, polishing everything as we speak
I followed your channel for years,really.I feel your view about cardistry and I felt it on my skin too,I mean,in 2018-2020 I was crazy about it,then something happened,maybe just life?High school exams,University,personal problems and all that stuff,and last but not least,I was feeling that the community was slowly dying?And that was SAD,but really Sad.Maybe it became oversatureted,too much stuff decks exc,idk,but the next generation isn't showing up.Right now I'm doing cardistry again,hoping that the community can grow again.Also all the best luck for the war because it's terrible and cardistry also means connection between people all over the world so
I think the reason cardistry is "dying" is because it is very niche in a lot ways. For example cardistry moves (especially many packet moves) are interesting but many people dont find the appeal in trying to do it themselves. A way that could revive it a little is if people started branding it is a "fidget hobby" because it is EXTREMELY satisfying to do while doing something else as a way to destress
So nice to see you are ok and even continuing to bring out a new deck! Was worried about you guys with the war, so it is really nice to see your video, even though the message is a bit sad. I am new to cardistry and magic, so I didn't know about the setback, but still love your cardistry video's and tutorials and those of others (like Samuel Pratt and Jack Paton). Looking forward to the new deck! Lots of good luck to you and the rest if your crew! ❤🎩🐈⬛
appreciate your support, will do our best to entertain you next year, we have a few ideas
@@DecemberBoys looking forward to it 🥰. Good luck to all of you, a warm Christmas nevertheless and hopefully a better new year! 🍀♥️
It's a pitty I've never been on cardistrycon. One time i almost went with u guys to Hong Kong though). And i still have the deck u gifted me, Aloha one from con
Thanks for this. I miss the old days.
Yeah, I get your point, but maybe the people who remain are now the true interested ones, maybe there was a boom, but now it's coming down, and only the true fans stay... I wish I could go to a cardistry con once lmao!
Btw, this new deck looks absolutely beautiful! I love it so much! Some kind of surreal vibes going on! And I hope you're better now, and that everything will fixes itself for you! Wishes you the best!
thank you, hoping for better times
@@DecemberBoys I'm sure it will happen!
cardists speed running that rollerblader arc
🔥
Great video 👌 I sort of fell out of the community sadly :( I just didn’t like the style of how Instagram is progressing so I felt like it was time to take a break
Instagram became a mess after Zuck took over (from revenue standpoint still must be doing great for him tho), we started interacting and posting less there.
Yo cardistries, Its me Oreo remember?? I also fell out as well, found my passion in cinematography instead. Started my own business things are going well. Hope you are doing good bro
@@Oreocycllo Yess! I remember you man! Good to hear business is going well! And I’ve been good, just mainly working through college as a human services major etc
R.i.p for cardistry :(
This video is quite sad. I was practicing cardistry quite a lot though the years 2016 to 2019 but kind of fell out of it over covid with work and completing studies etc. and have only recently taken it back up and I was shocked to see that the community seems to have gotten smaller rather than grow. I can remember fontaines selling out soo quickly and being resold for multiples of their original prices and not I can see them so freely listed online it’s strange. I also get the sense that cardistry might have been “too cool” to move over to TikTok and few of the big brands or creators post there frequently. Perhaps cardistry has missed the boat on TikTok and this is why the community has failed to grow in the same way it was in 2016 to 2018 ?? Any thoughts?? Also wish you nothing but the best of health and safety for the tough period Ukraine is facing currently.
Tiktok felt like ez views where you enter cringe territory very quickly chasing even more views. Hard to identify the target audience. Maybe some may call that elitist approach, but we thought cardistry deserves better. Look, it worked AMAZING for some, who got millions of followers by posting beginner stuff or teaching flourishes in 10s vertical format videos.
Putting all eggs in instagram basket backfired, since the platform fell off hard after the takeover a few years back. Growing niche accounts without clickbait or relentlessly posting flashy fans or springs seems like quite a challenge now.
Appreciate the message. We will do our best, youtube is still a thriving platform, we're not leaving. We have our values and morals, that we've stuck to for a decade, and we think there's more things left to discover with a deck of cards. Cheers!
Imo, the actual problem is that cardistry brands ( fontaine, anyone, virts etc.) started taking advantage of the fact that people are buying bricks. So they release a new deck every 2 months but without actually putting in the work for the community, like making a video about the deck which drives the community's interest. Less cardistry content, more cardistry decks to sell which the community is fed up with.
There were people during conventions who didn't hide their intention to rinse their followers, I think you can easily identify them by looking at their socials and the way they communicate. Now look what we've ended up with.
Ive been learning myself... I love how I fail so much.. and 1 day I wake up and BAM and its clicks in.. Not sure by everyone for buy bricks.. But with DnD printing to many colors way to fast.. (well other brands doing it).. And Fontaine printing many deck in a set.. Hiding them in blind packs.. and hiding a different color behind u MUST buy a brick to get really got old... For myself felt like they just care about the money and not the people anymore.. Id like to see Fontaine go back to there old ways again.. Reason why I even started buying them..
I feel like the Cardistry community has become a lot more segregated. The groups in Europe, in Asia, and in West and East US don't interact much anymore.
With very few events/large competitions, all these bubbles have formed and you don't really see what's happening outside of it.
that's what competitions and conventions were for, we held a few in the past, maybe it's time for something fresh in 2024
I wonder if cardistry became another hobby fad once it hit mainstream and peaked. It just seemed like the new thing to get into, like a yoyo, Rubik’s cube, fidget spinners, etc. It’s easily accessible to everyone with a deck of playing cards, so why not give it a try?
There’s no denying that the community and camaraderie remains with cardistry. But it’s evident that the business aspect is difficult to maintain. Still an awesome community nonetheless!
The actual problem of Fontaine is that: Zach just pushes too many new editions within short span of time. And then when it gets too much, he sort off get a taste of his own medicine, I guess
Perhaps the reason this art might be dying is cuz of elitism? There are just cardists that TOO DAMN GOOD (looking at you, Lotusinhand), that the low to medium skilled ones are just…. Intimidated. Too intimated that they just give up
Cardistry is NOT dying. It is simply the fact the rise happened right before Covid-19 so people not appearing to the conventions makes sense
Wasn't covid defeated in 2022? Two conventions have been held since then.
Turkey economy really really bad now buying standart bicycle cards impossible 1usd= 30 turkish liras that's why we can't do anything about cardistry in Turkey.
1 deck is 20 -50 usd in some place in USA too this normal bicycle deck too
ви круті, але хотілось би більше україномовного контенту
