it is harder than it looks, especially for beginners, but it definitely gets easier the more you do it - just like most things, practice makes perfect. you all must remember that not only did most of these chefs study for many years in culinary school, but they also have probably been cooking and therefore practicing how to do many of these techniques for years...
