To be absolutely clear, December Boy's video is way longer than just what I've shown. I've done my best to keep the context of the video intact. But needless to say, more context is always better, so please check out their full video: th-cam.com/video/5UwkAnEWa7w/w-d-xo.html
we need to remember the key factors of cardistry: art, video making, photography, visual, skill, community and so on... That's what makes cardistry cool to watch, if we only focus on "skill", then it happens that it gets boring, content is not fun anymore, I get there are some people who want to see something new, but we need to keep in mind that cardistry has to be fun and cool to watch, because that's what keeps it alive and attracts/inspire new people to join the community. old style, new style, old moves, new moves, it doesn't matter, It has to be cool and fun to watch, there has to be the right balance, that's what makes a good cardist and keeps the art alive. Personally, I don't enjoy new style cardistry that much because it looks too slow and not that attractive so I think there should be more focus on video making/editing to make it look cool, but still, I support everyone anyway, because again, community is a key factor. Besides, back in the days, cardistry gained a lot of popularity thanks to editors, there were a lot of really cool videos spreading all around the internet reaching millions of people(youtube in particular) and that built much interest, and I believe there's still much potential. Again, let's try to keep cardistry cool, fun and attractive to watch, and let's support everyone. Hope many people will get this comment.
I'm glad you talk about the weird marketing strategy of hype cardistry brands, the problems with very limited runs, selling out within a short time, the reselling market (scalpers) and how this isn't consumer friendly. It's rude towards their fans, especially those who have to pay a lot for shipping. Much respect that you don't go down that path!
Jaspas I have been trying to show people close to me how cool cardistry is. I hope this it’s just a temporary lull in the art form. Can’t wait to snag your next deck!
Man i was also big fan of cadistry ...but i saw it decline after 2020 i still wanted to have that jack meuller fontaine deck lol...but i see jaspas you time to time again which which keeps cardistry alive
Luckily, cardistry is still very alive in my environment. It's the people with a long term passion for the art that drives the community forward, for example Cardistry Experience. There's definitely less hype around decks now, which was a big part of the community. But at it's core we carry the responsibility to invite new people into our world. Who knows if this generation still have the time to create cardistry content when we're all adults with a fulltime job.
Hey Jaspas! Wishing for the days of yesteryears where cardistry was alllllll ovvveeerrrrrr. I still bring my decks every now and then. but it is totally different now. Essentially we all grew up. But the passion is still there. But i do really appreciate the times when we did a meet up, when we flew out just to meet each other. #slapstick (if you still remember this ahahah) with much love from the Philippines. Carlo.
Cannot wait for the new deck! I am about 6 months back into cardisty after about a 1 year hiatus (full time work and full time school took up all my time) and I am falling in love with the craft harder and harder. However, I have been left wondering what happened to the online community. I never was able to make it to the cardistry cons or any meet up’s, and I was so jealous of everyone that could; but I want to now that I’m back into the art form. Also you speaking about casting a wider net, I have been trying for a couple of months now to figure out a way to get more people involved in the art form, one idea I’ve had is giving out free lessons at a library or community center to garner the interest of people who have never seen it. If you have any tips or ideas on how I could get the ball rolling on this it’d be greatly appreciated Hi from California
Thanks Jaspas, I do think that the local community is important, but I've been feeling like there's been less interaction between the great cardists out there and the online community as well. I remember a time when my feed was all super sweet, high-quality new videos by great cardists, and I'd click on them and be inspired to maybe slow down a video and learn something, or drop a comment about the moves I like. I may have missed some releases, but the last good video I saw was the GOSH! video by Jacob Paton and Samuel Pratt last August.
Cardistry has definitely taken a little decline since coming out of lockdown but it really is still very much alive from what i see read and people i talk to :)
I just think it’s a combination of a lot of things, like the covid thing, I wouldn’t have known since I quit a year before that. But I think it’s also because, cardistry used to feel so new and fresh and it was on the rise during those years like 2015 to 2019. To me it hasn’t felt the same for a while like it did during those years. I’m sure big things have happened for cardistry in the last 3 years. And I completely am with you on the making sure the people who support you get the cards you sell. That’s one thing in the cardistry I wish we can get rid of. Of how they are resellers in the playing card market, selling cards at ridiculous prices. And it’s always either fontaines, or anyone decks. But anyways, I have seen cardistry come back in ways it hadnt before. I’ve literally seen TikToks or TH-cam shorts of cardistry that have millions of likes 😨 and it’s all for simple moves that involve the faro shuffle. So maybe there is hope who knows. Great to see you though Jaspas.
My guess is also just fatigue with the hobby. Oddly enough, I only explored cardistry a year into the pandemic. Also, I might be overexaggerating…but most of the recent videos I’ve seen are superfans lol.
Playing card fatigue is real, even collectors stopped and started unloading entire collections. Carding can swing a par of rider backs no problem but the collectors are leaving from too many decks being put out
I'm frtom Turkey I started Cardistry in 2020. 2020 Turkey economy was not bad I can buy playing cards in 2020 10 Turkish Liras= 1 USD. but now 30 turkish liras= 1 usd its makes imposibble to buy standart bicycle cards and thats why I leave cardistry. Turkey economy is now really bad and just buying any playing cards or standart biycle cards impossible for us.
Cards r too expensive right now because covid and dozens of wars have cost rising cost in life and 25usd for a deck that ruin a week and u have to practice hours a day isnt a ideal situation

Cardistry isn’t dying as long as the king Jaspas keeps uploading Cardistry will stay alive! 😅♠️
When you said "cardistry is not cardistry; cardistry is community", I felt that.
Great video and analysis, J. Really enjoyed it!
2015-2019 gold era of Cardistry
I said the same in my comment 😂 it was an awesome era
Love you jaspas ❤
Jaspas thank you for making videos like this too keep us online brothers engaged! Also thank you for sharing your thoughts

Thank you brother Jaspas for making super awesome cardistry reaction videos!! Keep up the awesome work!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think you spoke very well and brought up some interesting points that I agree with. Great video, as long as you're here cardistry will never die!

Covid was a difficult blow - hopefully new ideas and people will start coming in. Keep it alive on TH-cam x

Hi from California
Man, I would really love and appreciate a living cardistry community in our country, or at least city..There was one, but it died out during Covid..
It is time to rebuild.
Thank you very very much for these contents, and the amount of work you putted into producing these vid. 🔥🔥🔥

Scalpers ruin the fun in a lot of things
Ok I should comment for giveaway
I really hope ppl start learning new cool skills like cardistry except scrolling on tik tok really
My guess is also just fatigue with the hobby. Oddly enough, I only explored cardistry a year into the pandemic.
Also, I might be overexaggerating…but most of the recent videos I’ve seen are superfans lol.

I would love to write a good comment but I just can’t think about one 😂😅
Cards r too expensive right now because covid and dozens of wars have cost rising cost in life and 25usd for a deck that ruin a week and u have to practice hours a day isnt a ideal situation
