5 minutes from the Anaconda DVD

What’s the secret to the Anaconda? What really makes the insane size all possible?

Well, it all starts with really a modification of where the index finger is placed to execute the dribble. This modification results in an exponential increase of the control and height you have over the dribble.

A lot of people think “AWESOME! Now I can do the Anaconda!!”… and whilst that plays a big part, it’s like saying:

“All you have to do to win a car race is to change from a normal car to an F1 car!”

Whilst there is truth to that, the medium is one thing. The handling of it is another.

Shifting your index finger and pulling the card dribble up is like getting an F1 car and just slamming on the accelerator.

Sure that’ll probably result in pretty high speeds… but if you don’t know how to handle the car, it’ll probably result in a huge crash.

There’s just so much more to driving a car than just slamming the accelerator.

In the upcoming Anaconda DVD…. we created the ‘F1 car’, and we’re going to teach you exactly how to handle the monster.

We’ll touch on stuff like your the key grips, your precise finger placement, the angle of which your thumb aligned with the deck, how your fingers are spaced, the way the pressure is applied to the cards, the fine motor control of your index finger, how to prevent the cards from hooking, the way the cards are received… and so much more including the exact timing and coordination between the hands required to execute the new massive Anaconda.

All of these elements are presented in simple and concise steps in the upcoming Anaconda DVD that allows you to learn the Anaconda in minutes so the move just “clicks”.

In fact, we’ve probably made learning the new Anaconda almost too easy. ;)

For now, here’s an excerpt from the DVD itself, where Bone talks about his journey, his approach to the art, and how he created the Anaconda.

Enjoy!

Huron Low, The Virts

P.S. Look out for the part where Bone talks about how he dropped the cards all over the floor when he first tried the Anaconda. He looks kinda silly. ;)

    Wow.

    I really liked how bone put himself in our shoes. The frustration of not being able to do something, but still having the hope to be able to do it. Its very inspirational because It shows how someone just like us can do something big, something amazing. To go beyond the normal, and do the impossible.

    I also liked how he explained how he did it. He reverse engineered it and that’s how he did it. He used his sense of logic to help him accomplish such an ‘impossible’ flourish effect. It shows that sometimes you can take old things and make them new again.

    I cant wait to get my hands on this DVD. Thanks for the hard work you guys put into it and making it both right and left handed.

    ROFLMAO.

    This has got to be one of the most amazing and inspiring videos I have ever seen..

    It was humourous, and yet at the same time very insightful… It shows how much passion and desire, and dare I say it– Obesession — is needed for something so wonderful and amazing to be achieved.

    Excellent job, Bone.
    You have been an inspiration for me, and all thanks have to go to the Virts for showing us such amazing and fantastic material there is out there.

    I really can’t wait for my copy to arrive.

    After thinking about it, most of the card flourishes I know came from magic books/DVDs rather than card florishers, so being part of this historical movement for the art is very inspiring and exciting.

    Can you give me the Anaconda Limited Edition Anaconda dvd? If not, thats ok, I’ll buy it later.
    I was looking forward to it and it just got sold out right before I got paid. I have no intentions of giving up for this awesome dribble!
