I’ve known Swedish magician Jonas Haglund for approximately 5 years now, and in addition to being an extremely insightful and entertaining personality, he’s also one of my favorite flourish video artists to watch. Not just because he’s got a devastatingly smooth and off-hand style, but also because his videos are about 130% more creative than most of the ones you see online today. Considering the fact that most of his videos are filmed in his bedroom with nothing more than a static webcam, that’s quite an accomplishment if I do say so myself.
As of late, Jonas has been re-uploading some of his older videos onto his Youtube page. In addition to serving as a generous helping of nostalgia, it’s also a charming reminder of what can be done with a deck of cards, a camera, and the limitless possibilities of one’s imagination.
Here are a few of my favorites:
“What is it all about”
“Follow The Leader”
“Underground Concepts”
“Beh”
“Suit yourself; The unseen version”
There’s much, much more where that came from – if you liked what you saw, then do visit his Youtube channel for more videographic awesomeness.

Great!
Jonas has always been one of the guys that always has something new in his mind, and when he throws it out it seems like it's always "meh" for himself, while it actually is really great. Good job Jonas! You got something for everyone, and you're a great guy. Thanks for being one of my friends when it comes to cards and magic.
Thanks for giving Jonas some publicity Kev.

No problem, Stein. This website is my platform to share great things with people, and Jonas's work definitely falls in that category.

Those video's are crazy! reminds me why Jonas is one of the top people today, the moves are just plain inspiring.
PS while your in a habit of getting people to upp their old vid's tell Phil to upload that one you've got on viddler ahaha. (http://www.viddler.com/explore/kevhonline/videos/...
Haha… that video from Philip is the shit. I always rub it in to him every chance I get :D

Yeah, Jonas is one of the oldest members of the card community who's still up and at it since day one – even his first few videos that I saw on vnfamily back in late '03 had a distinctive style and feel to them that continues to show up in his work today. It's really inspiring.
On the other hand, if I were to put up some of my older videos, that would just be depressing… haha.

Even though it's over 2 years old, what is it all about is still one of my favorite videos ever. I'm glad he's putting out some of his older vids again for people to watch.
Hehe, it was fun seeing the beh-video again, as well as the other oldies you shared with me. :) I still got a bunch of your very very old videos laying around, and it's definitely fun to watch to see what massive improvement has been made, despite those still being as kickass. =D NBC-Capcut, Spitfire Production, Sybil, there's several blasts from the past. :)
Oh my god… Sybil.
If there's any comforting thought to the n00bs out there, it's that I used to consider one Sybil after another 'the shit' back in the day.
THE IRONY!
