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

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

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!

i was like oh no i just can’t do it. then a minute later i did it. keep going guys

MY HANDS ARE SO SMALL! Ahhhhh I’m having a very frustrating time practicing, but I won’t give up!

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.

Charlier cut - 1:07 Revolution cut - 4:47 Scissor cut - 10:07 Had to do this so i stop scrolling manually

day 6 of the quarantine and this video serves me to entertain my greetings from Argentina

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!

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!!!

This is a very good tutorial. I am under the quarantine and I am learning with you guys!

Like all of your videos, it’s high quality, really dope, super awesome, great content, etc.

Very cool 😎 Always nice to see you Grant. Looking forward to what's coming next.

Sick backdrop👌🏻 glad we’re seeing more of you again Grant!

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! 😁

Good to see youuu Grant!!!! Love u guys

Alrighty then! New tutorials coming with Grant today.

Thank you for revisiting the rotation cut. I finally found the finger placement, with your help.

Best tutorial so far, your tutorial clicked with me on how to do that revolution cut. Thank you!

Such a helpful and well-executed video. Very valuable for beginners. Cheers!

Love your channel and skills! Thank you.

This dude got Viking hands while I have curious George hands

I also have small hands. Wasn't able to do the charlier cut but after trying the scissor cut, which was the only one I could complete, I was able to complete the charlier cut. Thanks!

I love y’all videos! Keep it up!

Great tutorial, I appreciate it. Very helpful.

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

Just subscribed...your tutoring is awesome...clear, easy to understand and see. Well done mate.

I'm practicing right now...your a good teacher..

I love the lighting in your videos

Thank you so much for this! Super clear explanations.

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

You guys are amazing! 🐳

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!

Thanks Grant! I’ve got the first two down already 😎. That last one will take me a lil bit 😂😂😂. Keep up the great work! You guys rock 👍

Thank you for this amazing tutorial

Good to see you Grant

Your explanations are excellent!

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

I just got my new bicycle card....aight imma start day 1 cardistry with this👌👌👌

Thank you very much! Your explanation is very clear.

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

the second one got me angry but the third is sooooooooo satisfying when you finally do it. Thanks!

Dude, such dope b-roll!!!

Oh wow., You can teach! You made it so easy And now I'm having fun dropping..... Err,r, i mean practicing.. But honestly thanks.. you make it look so smooth. Hopefully one day i can make it look that easy.. thx.

FINALLY A LEFT HANDED TUTORIAL

I'm not a lefty person but performing these tricks with your left hand is pretty smooth!

Thanks brother because before 2 I am beginner only,but after seeing this one hand cuts, Now am a cardistery 🤞

You taught me 1 handed cut! Thank you.

You guys should do your own CCC (Community Cardistry Competition) like an Instagram competition for amatuer cardists and provide a sweet reward package for 1st place. That would be dope.

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.

Good Bro You Are A Motivation To Me Great Fan From India ❤️🤩

Thanks for the clear instructions keep it up

Thanks ot this really helps I was struggling for a while thanks bro

Thanks You So Much, BRO 🙏🙏🙏❤️

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

Love you brother 😍

I like the opening how you tell your truth if cutting cards whole doing college work. I watched your video at work while at a university (I work there and go to school there). I'll be cutting cards while doing school work as well soon thanks to you haha

It amazes me that I’m a right handed person. Normally I will say my left hand is useless. I’m very very right hand dominate. But when it comes to learning stuff like this. I automatically without thinking do it with my left hand. I’ve been practicing the first move for a few days and have gotten decent at it.

Charlier cut- 1:07 Revolution cut- 4:47 Scissor cut- 10:07 Don't tell me thanks

Good video I learned it well now I have to practice 👍

Nice i liked it .ill be practicing this

Learned all of these perfect on my right hand. All of the two handed cuts that I want to learn require me to do them in my left hand 🥲

Muchas gracias! Bravo maestro! I do it.

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.

Video is amazing!

Grant is back, great to see you! but... What's the news on Chandler?

Great video✌️👍

best channel by far xd

I had it down in the first 4:15 ty for showing me the way it's even ironic that I was opening my deck as u was opening yours in the beggining

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.

just received the card I order from your guys, gonna be honest, this is ready hard....

I could have practiced the revolution cut all day long and I would have never gotten it. But the scissor cut I got first time! Damn I'm proud of myself!

Yeah, GRANT!!!!!! wish you guys could still do ALL of your videos together :(

I should solve my physic equations, but im here right now^^ Thanks from germany

someone could make a drinking game of the amount of times I've dropped the deck by now lol

Thank you bro!

I gave it a shot!! I got the first one down, Second one = cards all over the place! haha

Already can do these really well. I was hoping for a judo flip tutorial. Great video anyways!

I can only imagine how nice it is to have hands large enough to do these!

I learnt the Charlier cut from this channel. I had seen a lot of tutorials on it, but could never quite get it happening. Then I saw it explained on here. Now I can do it. Not very well though. Standard playing cards I have trouble getting the bottom packet moving underneath. My hands aren't long enough to get the bottom packet clear of the top. Narrower cards I can do easily. :D

Grant!!! 🙌🙌🙌

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

Thank you so much I learned the 1st one in 10 minutes

is easy to learn ，thank you

Congratulations on graduating, and wow the beard makes you look so much older bro!

at first i thought my fingers are too small but then i tried again and i did it. dont give up

My hand cramped up on the revolution cut 😅

I did it! woot

I do my homework and movie essays in one hand while doing one handed cuts too 😂

Very helpful

Hey grant! Been a while since you did a solo vid

took three days to finally do it. ty for the vid. i have small hands but i learned charlier cut. wootles. thanks again. great teacher.

can you guys make a tips&troubleshooting video for lepaul spread, please?

Thank you!

i got hand cramps after this

Quarantine boredom got me here haha

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.

7:05 my palm is responsible for not droping the cards, thought i had ok sized hands... not anymore hahahah

I feel like I have fairly large hands, But holy cow. They feel like doll hands when trying to do these tricks. I finally got the first and last, but that spin on the second one absolutely eludes me. My two new quarantine hobbies were cardistry and balisongs, and chopping my finger is somehow less frustrating than dropping the cards trying to do that turn. Eventually...

Thanks bro i no how to cut now

holy mother of glory, so with the second cut, i found it stupid hard, at least the first part HOWEVER if u skip to the half way point after failing the first part of it, and succesffully do it (the last half i mean) then it feels almost natural and easy to do the first part
