I think it's just way nicer to look at smooth and elegant flourishes rather than rough ones. It's why I like Aviv M and Jordan Lapping much better than Dan and Dave and Brian Tudor. It aren't necessarily different flourishes, it are just different styles. It makes the most difficult things look easier, but still difficult and unfollowable enough for spectators.
I have to add that I think flourishes are more of a training kind of thing rather than that they are meant to perform. I have seen many people performing flourishes for laymen but the reactions were never that special, nowhere near reactions to good magic or music even. The only ones reacting good are other flourishers, at conventions and to videos. |

well, unless it's something spontaneous and looks really really really hard to do, most flourishes won't impress the laymen that much( yeah, so you have fast hands that can do things that look impossible, so what?), so even if people do smooth, elegant cuts, they'll get the same reaction as a newbie pulling off a LePaul Spread.
@Mark: wow... didn't expect you to name people like Aviv M... i thought only flourishers admire him...
