Cardistry Tutorial — Kettenmorgenstern
THIS IS NOT A NEW VIDEO!!
It was originally a paid tutorial on Gumroad, but I wanted to give you guys one last surprise before the year ends (at least in my timezone). This was the first real edited video I made, so please excuse the amateur editing and my awkward voice. This was the first time I ever spoke on camera. Hopefully the quality of the tutorial itself makes up for that. If you only want an overview, you only need to watch the first section, though I highly recommend watching everything if you want to learn the nuances.
Now on to the move's history:
I created Kettenmorgenstern in late June, 2016. I was playing with a mechanic a cardist named Alex Brower had shown me (the first index flip), and I found a way to add several more flips to the cut. I named it Kettenmorgenstern because the movements reminded me of the ball-and-chain morning stars medieval knights would use. There already was a move called Morning Star, so I searched up the German version of the name and got Kettenmorgenstern.
