Flourish, in magic, is a feat of physical dexterity (sleight of hand). Unlike most other sleights, flourish is performed openly (or by the way) in front of the audience, to entertain, display the performer's skill or to divert attention. For instance, a quarter might be 'rolled' or flipped back and forth across the back of the hand; a deck of cards may be fanned, riffled or shuffled in extravagant patterns.
