Head's up: If you've got small hands, skip to 2:17, then go watch it from the beginning. Use less-than a full deck (I consider my hands smaller than average, and I started learning it with ~15 cards). As it gets more and more comfortable, add cards.

even if i use just two cards, i still can’t reach over. i don’t think this is a situation where you can say to just practice and you’ll get it. i am physically unable to do this. is there an actual way to do this or is it just impossible for some people?

[@Dolo888]

dang this one is actually not possible T_T

[@Dolo888]

@Kingerino - do you not have space for cards to fall in your palm either? like when i lift my thumb the cards cant fall flat im wondering if there is a work around or just unlucky genetics

[@supersara7383]

I can’t do it because if i can reach it with my thumb i cant reach over with my other finger since the cards are lying on top of them

[@Moo-ep7fu]

This commen should be pinned. I was just about to comment what if you have small hands? Thanks a ton

[@double_d_8885]

When I first started I thought there was no way I could do it, I couldn't get my thumb over with my middle but I just kept trying and my dexterity improved and now I can do it.

[@glndn22]

yeah no. some hands are simply too small. ive modified every one hand cut because of my hand size but this one simply is not possible for the select few with overly small hands. tried the tips, tried the comments advice as well. shame. decent video tho

[@uvekolarz]

I have quite big hands and still can't do it, because for some reason my thumb is just too short lol

[@GlukosesirupDD]

best teaching in cardistry on youtube. there are others, but this short vids made me keep on doing and ended in first results. you put so much effort in here. so sad that you don't have 100k views or subs. Please keep going even if there are just a handfull of fans. imagine you brought just 1 to cardistry an become a pro. this is worth it :) thank you

[@nocreativiti8247]

the width of the cards is the same size as my palm, so after reviewing the tips I was able to get my thumb over the packet, but I couldn't get my middle finger over a half of it without using my other hand to reposition the cards in my palm. yikes. Guess Ill spend some extra time with this one lol

[@Hayatichannel]

Thanks very much. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Your tutorials are awesome.

[@amaryagoub6778]

How do I exercise to strengthen my fingers?

[@iailioa2836]

Great tutorial man!!!!Thanks!!!

[@Prompefis]

Holyfrick! Thath half-deck-tips bles my mind. Didnt Even know it was legal!

[@oyppp8593]

I can’t even do it with two cards because my thumb can’t reach across please help

[@dalis994]

I know a good surgeon

[@davidm5674]

I have a solution foe that. Instead of trying to reach across your hand, tilt your hand so that the deck (or partial deck) leans against your thumb. Then break off half the deck/partial deck with your thumb and tilt your hand down, making the half that you did noit grip fall.

[@brahamwijaya1039]

i forced it but then it became erdnase one hand shift

[@maloxic9054]

DEAR LOTUSINHAND - EXPLAIN WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING A FULL DECK AT THE START OF YOUR FUCKING VIDEOS!!!

[@CyborganicDreamscape]

ah, i get it now. this is actually physically impossible for me. saves a lot of frustration.

[@spookydarkk8217]

it is, just takes practice

[@Meekox]

This was the most useful thumb cut tutorial ever made thank you so much!

[@janX9]

0:08 Thumb cut performance... ... *STOP* moving your fucking hands around, we cannot see the actual cut!

[@TheRealZachTV]

Any help for someone who can't grab the cards with the thumb even when I only have 2 cards in my hand?

[@miranda8423]

Excellent tutorial! Terrific explanation. Thank you!

[@amaryagoub6778]

Thank you very much I have started learning

[@evilazzuratm2124]

This is needed to be learn with the weak hand ? i struggle to learn with the weak one...

[@aliahmed-rk6rx]

I can t do this my hands are too small

[@davidm5674]

Shame I’ve got a short thumb

[@darrenaitcheson1675]

@@davidm5674 cheers. Will give that a try

[@RationallySkeptical]

My thumb is a full cm too short to even reach the edge of the inner border!!!! There's no way. NO WAY. Even using just 15 cards doesnt help because [read 1st sentence again.]

Tychoooo xD

[@josephreynolds7395]

If you have small hands you can go lower in the palm with the deck to get your thumb further to the edge of the deck
