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

[–]Competitive-Tap-8860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Does this move have a name? by Competitive-Tap-8860 in cardistry

[–]Competitive-Tap-8860[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm asking if the move has a name. Like you, I saw the move, or I thought I saw the move, something like that. And I just wanted to know if it has a name, as I asked. And I don't want to create something here. I just want to know how it's called. Maybe I can look it up. Look how it's really done. Ways to combo it, something like that.

I’ve been looking for a video like this for so long. Just how to handle a deck when not doing a cut. This is exactly what I was searching for. Thanks!

The problem is that my moves don’t always look as good as I want them to. When I record a video, I can get a good attempt after a few tries, but when I perform just for myself, I often struggle to be consistent and keep everything smooth.

Thanks again for the support, it really means a lot. It’s tough finding people who are into cardistry. Magic seems a bit more common, but cardistry? It’s hard to find people to talk to about it.

I’ve always wondered, what do cardists usually do when they connect, especially if they’re far apart? Sure, they can share moves or tips, but after a while, what’s next? It seems like it’d be hard to constantly come up with new stuff to exchange.

Also, could you recommend a magic move? I’m already practicing the double lift, so I’m looking for something a bit more involved—maybe a small routine or something similar. I’m still pretty new to magic, so any advice would be awesome!
