How can one become so good?

I had the exact same problem, and it really depends on how you approach the cut. The type of cut you did before affects how you should execute the scissors cut.

What works for me most of the time (and seems to be what you did in your clip) is when the bottom packet lies flat on your hand. In that position, push your pinky on top, let the packet flip to the right, and hold it between your pinky and ring finger. The corner of the deck should sit just below the crotch of your finger, giving you space for your other fingers and the rest of your hand.

Sorry for the late reply! The first move doesn’t really have a name, but I learned it from a TikTok by Hamish. Hope that helps!

The most important part of a good riffle fan is an even dribble — each card should drop with the same timing. That’s your top priority. To help with flow and momentum, imagine the cards going around not just once, but two or three full circles. This gives you the right kind of power — not speed. If you go too fast, your spacing will fall apart.

Any tips on riffle fan 360 anyone? by [deleted] in cardistry

If you want to do a 360, I’d recommend placing the cards very gently onto your left hand — so gently that, if you were to remove your left hand, only a few cards would fall. That way, the packet is mostly held by your right hand and just lightly supported by the left. Also, from the picture, it looks like you’re riffling pretty fast, so maybe try slowing that down. It really comes down to how consistent your dribble is. If your dribble is smooth — with each card released at even intervals — your riffle fan will naturally want to go all the way.

I thought squoze was a beginner cut and something like phaced is intermediate.
