Cardistry: Dealersgrip Member Leaves Group

Tobias Levin has left Dealersgrip. The news was announced via a message shared on social media and confirmed by Oliver Sogard. Dealersgrip formed in 2014 and have since released multiple cardistry tutorials including the award-winning flourish “Flip Phone” and recently, the STRIPE Playing Cards.

The message announcing Tobias’s departure read;

Hey guys, so after 3 amazing years with Dealersgrip, I’ve chosen to move on to other things…

Hey guys, so after 3 amazing years with dealersgrip, I’ve chosen to move on to other things. It’s been incredible to see the community flourish and for dealersgrip to be a part of it. I am truly grateful for all the support we’ve received, without you non of this would have been possible. For me Stripe playing cards and everything we’ve accomplished with dealersgrip, represents something bigger than just a deck of cards. It is a realisation of the urge to break free from the doubt that I can’t realise my dreams. Having the cards finally in my hands and seeing the community embrace them, gives me a deep motivation to follow what I feel is right for me. The work I’ve accomplished with Oliver is something I am very proud of and dealersgrip will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you, you'll hear from me soon 🤙🏼 This does not mean dealersgrip will end. It only means that I'm going to be working on other things. #noconfusion

Much to the relief of all his fans, Tobias is NOT leaving Cardistry.

Thanks for all the kind words❤ I'm not quitting cardistry btw.
