Flourishes and manipulation

Superhandz is a site dedicated to "extreme" card manipulation. And extreme it is indeed, with some unbelievable stuff performed by the super hands of De'Vo and Jerry Cestkowski. (I might add an easy joke on their super feet too, as they don't seem to have much trouble in riffle shuffling a deck of cards with those. But I won't.) Jerry is also the author of the monumental Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes, which you can find at his Flourishman site.

De'vo has a new site called Handlordz that contains, among other things, a great video montage of his famous Cobra Cuts. This includes what's probably the most difficult one-handed cut out there: the five-packet Cobra.
