3 BEGINNER One Handed Cuts!! // CARDISTRY TUTORIAL BUNDLE

[@danielcentini4164]

I have small hands, but the pride i've felt when i did the first one succesfully is priceless

I totally had the same experience 😃

[@aoifeanonymous]

So I finally got these with average-sized woman hands, and here are some of my tips: - For Charlier, if you don't have enough palm-finger separation to keep your thumb on the top packet, when you push the cards back with your index finger, also slightly angle the top packet down against your middle and ring fingers. This allows the top packet to balance between those fingers and the bottom packet so when your thumb does lose contact with the top packet, the cards are stable enough to complete the cut. - For Rotation, instead of using your ring finger to push in the bottom packet towards you and wedging your finger between the packets, completely forget about moving the bottom packet. Instead, when you transfer the packet to your pointer and thumb, go ahead and push the packet away from you with your thumb and bring your ring around/below the top packet so that it's against the short side of the bottom packet and somewhere along the bottom of the top packet. Release your thumb, completing the top packet rotation with your pointer and ring. You might need to bring your thumb back towards you to move the bottom packet enough so that you can deposit the old top behind it. This is basically doing what he's doing in the video except you're doing part of the rotation with your thumb and pointer since your hands aren't big enough to be able to wedge your ring finger between the two packets and be able to complete the move with any fluidity. - And then there's Scissor lol. Instead of doing that really cool run your thumb alongside the deck to lift the top packet, I just immediately move my thumb to the short side of the deck and draw half the cards in a completely horizontal motion. It's not as flashy, but my thumb just isn't long enough to get good leverage on a separated pack of cards like that. And then you're just going to have to work on flexibility to do the rest of the cut lol. It's possible though!

[@exostatics]

Thank you!!

[@benhornby3308]

I found the same with the scissor, much easier to go in with the thumb straight at the corner, than running it alongside the deck

[@Angels_Ashes]

Definitely wish there were more women cardists. My hands are too small for most of these tricks :(

[@lunatick2042]

It helps if you put the tip of your thumb on the bottom of the top cut.

Jim Halpert that made me laugh harder than it should have and truth

[@levi7492]

i can say with confidence i can now pull off all the splits in this video, its been almost 3 days and if i with zero hand i cordination can pull them off then anyone can pull them off. my hands r decent size, nothing like this mans massive hands but not all that smol. I slip up every now and then especcialy on the second one, the revolution, but i am getting the hang of pulling them off without thinking too much about them. and if i get frustrated i default to the first one which im actually surprisingly enough really good at pulling off if anyones having trouble, then i suggest focusing for a little bit while watching videos and if your hand starts to cramp or your in a losing streak where you keep failing then take a break, or go to bed and when you wake up or pick up those cards again i garntee you would have leveled up Its exactly like how in ff15 you gain experience throughout the day but only level up after you have rested or slept

[@staratmidnight7]

For those struggling with the revolution cut: do what he does, not what he says. The index finger should NOT go right up to the corner. If you watch around 9:45, he places his index finger about a third of the way down the side of the top packet, maybe even lower. I struggled with little success for a good half hour until I tried positioning the index lower and got it almost immediately.

[@jaiagrawal871]

Thanks

[@Beertycoon]

started practising cardistry with my daughter this weekend. We did the rifle shuffle with bridge finish for 2 days straight and now feel confident to practising the next step, which is the cartier cut. Awesome tutorial here, thank you!

[@evilpompom]

Since I don't go outside during the summer I'm gonna practice this. My hands aren't that small but my fingers are short and dummy thick 🙁 Buy everyone here saying that the size doesn't matter are giving me hope! I won't give up! I've only gotten to the first cut but I thank you for a good easy to understand tutorial. Thank you! 😁

[@alvinmansson1000]

I hate my small hands!!!!! they're making it almost impossible for me to do the Charlier cut, I'm so close to just yeeting my deck across my room and I can't understand why its so difficult

[@tomershmaya8852]

@Gabriel Pasquince Thanks, that really helped

[@Losyde]

what i do was start with a manageable amount and add a few cards at a time. or make the bottom packet smaller so that the bigger packet leans on it

[@thebardwarlock]

Lol I feel the same way about my packet

[@eversosleight]

Thanks for sharing Grant. My issue is with the scissor cut and the rev cut, small hands and all. However, I've modified the rev cut by rotating the bottom packet rather than the top. I'm still working with the scissor. Thanks again!

[@Mugisama5]

@@connorchen630 okay but everyone is different dude, one way might not work for another. Yes practice always helps but being double jointed helps a lot in this type of stuff too, same with flexibility in your hands. Also an iPhone 8 is pretty big like double the size of a 5 and you’ve been at it for 3 months so I’d hope you’d have at least a few of these down by then. Why not offer a suggest rather than brag about yourself and making others feel like a failure... just saying

[@thedivorceforce1005]

@@Mugisama5 dawg tf are you talkin about

[@rljpdx]

this is also the first one i learned, however i do it slightly different. it could be because i have short fingers, or they are not long enough ;) @ 3:18 when the cards are slightly catty corner in the middle, the way i do it is the cards near the thumb completely clear the cards above and the above cards fall due to gravity. it's just a variation or possibly even what will naturally happen ifyou follow vid posters instructions and having practiced for some time. i have been playing with cards since a kid though and one handed deck cutting for some reason came naturally to me. i do it both ways. this way and also the way where you grab the upper part of the deck between forefinger and middle finger and manipulate the upper set of cards, spinning them a little bit underneath the lower set of cards. these video's randomly came up for me today and i'm kind of glad it did. after watching a few video's i said to myself, i have a couple decks of cards in good condition and started cutting one handed to make sure i can still do it. i am 53 now lol.

[@jake-watkins]

Thanks for these! I've had a blast learning to do them. The first two are pretty easy, but the scissor is frustratingly hard.

[@aschaible04]

Do the scissor cut with half a deck at first a bunch of times to start building muscle memory, then slowly add more and more cards back until you're doing it with a full deck

SMALL HANDED PEOPLE READ THIS. I have small hands and was pissed,, After about 10 minutes or so I finally figured out why people say it doesn't matter. when you are holding the top part, you can not let go no matter what, until the bottom reaches the top and your thumb . Force the bottom to bend if ya have to. So only practice one thing. Drop the bottom don't let go of the top no matter what until the bottom reaches your thumb. The cool thing about this is that it is super tight and holds the cards where you need them to be. Let the bottom bend if ya have to,, then ya pretty much just take that last leap of faith and open up your hand and let it drop,,use your pinky to keep them from dropping during the leap of faith... after 10-20 minutes you will get it I promise. I have small hands.. trust me it isn't that hard. i also figured this out by just using half of the deck. that helps too.

[@bruceparks4746]

I have smaller hands as well, and find on the rotation cut, if you have the packet firmly gripped with the second knuckles, it will flow around and very stable. It did take me over half the day to figure this out.

[@zacharyzeisler475]

Wow! Thank you so much. Today is the day I decided to start learning cardistry and at the beginning of this video, I thought for sure my hands were too small. This helped immensely and if there's anyone out there with small hands reading this...give this method a try. Took me no more than 10 minutes to get it down. Just start with half the deck then keep adding cards in until you nail it with the full deck. Thank you Todd!!!

[@telgaming423]

Idk man I have 4/5 or 5 inches long hands and been doing these cuts since highschool. My muscle memory is okay but still messed up. 22 yr old lil hands uwu

[@iceiceholiday]

The whole not practicing with the whole deck really helped me, cause my hands are so small. Thanks so much!

[@leifhicks1807]

That's good idea I'm always doing those cuts in repetition just to get faster and better would like to learn some moves to connect them or make them flashier

[@beakless_duck]

Dude your tutorial is the best! I've finally been able to get the charlier cut, and I'm starting to nail the revolution cut as well. Thank you so much!!!

[@KennyMatrix]

Guys saying your hands are too small, you need to just stick with it. It's a really easy technique and once you start to build up speed you'll see it's more about the momentum of the cards than the size of your hands. I guarantee there's no problem - that I can tell you. I mean if your like a pygmy from the jungle of Equatorial Ginea or something then maybe its relevant. As I'm learning the charlier cut now, I am seeing you cant just let the pack fall into place but you have to be deliberate about letting the pack fall right where you need it so that it is square with the other pack. Then you get back into the straddle grip. I've nearly got it man thank you.

[@smartaleckduck4135]

FINALLY A LEFT HANDED TUTORIAL

[@smartaleckduck4135]

ChocLit Milk This is a cut tutorial, and I am left handed. Most other tutorials I have watched have Ben right handed, so I had trouble following them.

[@pubjohndoe3599]

You should train with both hands. I've noticed that even with the clumsier hand you make progress once you understand the mechanics of these with your better hand.

[@josephsherby]

Your Average Piano Dude Since you are left-handed, you should actually be learning this cut with your right hand. This is relatively easy compared to a lot of the more complex stuff in cartistry, so you learn it with your non-dominant hand so your dominant is free to do other things.

[@vaughnmonkey]

Amazing Video! These cuts were simple enough to for me to get and cool enough to keep me entertained while learning. Charlier cut: 1:07 Revolution cut: 4:47 Scissor cut: 10:07

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Alrighty then! New tutorials coming with Grant today.

[@leifhicks1807]

Love the videos you two do No lie I remember being in my later 20's playing poker at lunch break with guys I worked with and taught myself how to do this well got poker hour taken away then changed jobs now I'm turning 33 and I first got into cardistry It actually took me over a week to learn how to do the charlier cut correctly then a week plus on all the other cuts it takes me from a week to a month to learn much newer moves i think month and a week on the one handed shuffle recently but it's a hobby and something I love to do I don't get to do it everyday most times

[@clutcherboo55]

At 12 i could do the charlier cut and im a very small 7th grader with small hands. Dont give up guys. A tip is to keep all of your fingers straight up to increase length and remove your thumb earlier than people who have bigger hands. Balance the top packet with your middle ring and pinky finger. It took me 10 minutes to get down with these tips so keep trying

[@rue6407]

good luck! let me tell you - time and practice is everything :) my hands are pretty small as well, but I have mastered charlier and revolution cut pretty quickly

[@Pandemos]

The scissor is literally impossible if you have a short pointer. Just for those who want to try it and fail repeatedly. I can do the first two no problem, but my pointer fingers are weirdly the size of my pinkies. No worries, lots of options for cuts, but that is one issue where this is literally impossible.

Hi, does it matter which Hand to usw for These Cuts? Everyone does card Tricks with The left Hand. Is it easier?

[@paulcrowder299]

My advice would be to learn cuts with your dominant hand first. You will then find it easier to learn with your other hand. These three cuts can be mastered with both hands this way with practice

[@pierrepisu1704]

My two cents here… There’s no such things like small hands in cardistry or maybe “baby hands”. But… there is “practicing” which is essential (with a little bit of patience) to perform amazing things with cards. Most, if not all of the well known “cardistrer” will tell you that. I do practice everyday (just like my fitness or any other sport) and from time to time I succeed in a trick I never thought possible before. Of course I had to gather a lot of fallen cards but I think it’s part of the fun, don’t give up 😉

[@Christophe_L]

Re: people with small hands. Do not learn from guys with big hands! This guy's fingers are long as hell so you're probably not able to do these cuts in the same way. You're going to have to learn little hacks. Like starting with half the deck. A little tip for for the Charlier Cut, but can be applied elsewhere: grab one packet in your left hand as if you had started your thumb lift but without the bottom packet. Now with your right hand, place the other packet in the "D" shaped space left between the pack and your thumb/finger webbing. If you're like me, it won't fit straight away. Try fitting it in different angles till you find one that works and see where it contacts your webbing. Memorize that. Now when you do the thumb lift, try landing the bottom packet right there and you'll be able to close it. After you do it ONCE, realise it's not impossible. Rinse and repeat until tendinitis.
