How to Fan Cards like a magician 

Damn it, Gravity!

2:24 my fan every time. Good tutorial

Theres something somewhat comforting about learning from someone who still makes mistakes themselves ^^

It’s crazy. I just practiced this nonstop for about two hours while I was watching a movie and by the time it was over I could do it. I can’t explain it. Cards are cool and weird man. The more you hold them and touch them the more they start to do things for you. Strange and magical little pieces of paper.

This is definitely one of the better tutotials for this. I've been struggling with finger position, and right now I'm still either making a messy fan or playing 52 pickup, but I feel like I'm closer. Time and practice will tell.

YOOOOO!!! I have been practising this since past 20 days and now all of a sudden i just did like 75% like outt nowhere. It just happened by itself lol, i am so psyched rn. Thanks for the tutorial chris.

I have a two year old daughter I like to practice my magic with and this is by far her favorite thing that I can do with cards. Thanks for helping me make her even more excited about my fanning skills lol

Help, it keeps getting caught up in my hand, I try fanning it but my grip just blocks it from going all the way..

im a beginner and just realized i have smaller hands and using the one of the cheapest decks ive ever held. the cards in jail were of better quality. even though im discouraged im still trying. thanks for your wealth of info. please dont stop making videos

Can we make dammit gravity a thing?

Again Chris, You are best at teaching these "simple" cardistry tricks like this! Just the best! I love these "easier" tricks because I am a beginner! Thanks so so much and keep up the great work!

Ellusionist I watched at least 100 shots of how to make a fan out of cards and no one could explain to me how to make a fan out of cards. ALL THE MERITS GO TO YOU (thank you)

Amazing flourish ninjaing at the end there. One day I hope to be on that level.

I didn't think this basic trick of cardistry would be so difficult but here I am on RU-vid trying to learn. Very humbling.

3:46 "your cards are a bit used" me with a brand new deck of cards 👁 👄 👁

I like all of your tutorials, and I practically watched all 89/89 tutorials by you

snap back to reality oh there goes gravity

I really like his teaching style. he goes over it plenty of times and in different speeds. really helps me learn. I have ADD and Chris just has a way about him that makes me pay attention. keep him around yo. love both y'alls channels

chris thank you so much for helping me with my card tricks its hard for me to do springs cause i have a broken arm but its okay i love what you do much love and respect Chris keep doing what your doing

3:04 that's what she said

I found cardistry and puzzles late in life. Thank goodness. And I realized right away; Keep my eye on Chris! Love you man!

Lol his sample flourish at the end is me trying really hard XD

This is an incredible skill and I know it takes longer than a couple hours of trying but I don’t think I can make it look like yours.

The most important part of the fan is the left hand pressure - and he says very little about it. It's all about his index finger. So hard to find someone who actually knows how to teach.

Hey Chris and team ellusionists. I watched Chris video about some match magic tricks and there you asked, whether we have subscribed to the ellusionists channel. I thought I had not but then I noticed that I am all ready a subscriber for about a Year. That's probably because I needed to rest my magic training for the stressful college time. But now I want to get more into it and just want to say thank you for the opportunity team ellusionists give me and help me to improve my skills. So thanks a lot and have a nice day. :)

My cards keep sticking into one big packet at the end (15-20 cards stuck)

Just discovered these tutorials!!! Thank you Chris Ramsey for the clear instructions and awesome tutorials!!! I'm starting to really look like I know my way around a deck of cards! 😁

Can we get a tutorial for sound effects?

My hands aren't big enough for the grip, it's a shame because I really wanna be able to fan cards and this looks like such a good tutorial. Love you Ellusionist and Chris

absolutely love your tutorials . they are fun and amazing and easy to follow. It gives me something to do when I'm relaxing . 👍Keep up the great work.

The first card fan tuturial that actually was useful to me. Thank you!😏👌

Card flourishing is so satisfying

0:38 lol that tattoo

Love the cards drop, it helps to restore people's faith that they can get better thru practice also your reactions are funny.

Thank u, ur the easiest teacher to follow!

Does being in a humid place affect the cards

Had a dream you guys sent me some decks, but it was a DREAM!!! Damn it !!!!

i just wante to say thank you so much for this tutorial, and i love your memento mori playing cards!

the last flourish is what i mastered mosst

As always.... excellent video, just like ALL YOUR OTHER ONES.

"Damnit gravity!"

Loved the flourish at the end lol.

Thanks Chris for your tutorial that's very good way to do the fan...

do you use plastic or normal cards?

Hey let me tell you something i practiced this move for 8 years now and i would have to say i finally have the perfection down.

Gravity doesn't exist. Only Chuck Norris decides what falls to the ground

I already knew how to make a fan but this made my fans look a lot better! Thank you Ellusionist!

"sound effects not included" Leaves video

Probably the best fan tutorial on RU-vid.

mans was about to dab

i tried for like a good half hour doing this on ace playing cards with no improvement and i went back to my slightly used bikes and did it on the first try. it made me speechless.lol

I believe gravity is the original creator for 52 card pick that we all love!

hey man i think its cool that you donated those card to be won to Chris .you guys videos are cool you guys inspire me to do tricks. i hope i win a deck

"Then you proceed to...flourish" *fancy hand movements*

The closing part didn't help at all...Chris dropped it like 3 times and didn't explain it very clearly.

Thanks this is the only tutorial that worked for me.

Damnit gravity 🤣

I'm having a lot of trouble because I'm a grown 26 year old woman with very very tiny almost kid-like hands & I realized that I can't hold the deck in the exact same position as you do but if I make some slight adjustments & kind of invent a modified version for myself I think I actually may be able to get it with more practice. I've seen plenty of women magicians but I've personally never seen a woman who is a master of cards although I'm sure there are some great ones that exist out there somewhere but I also gotta remember that there are children with smaller hands than me that are way more talented than most adults at this stuff so I know it's not impossible for me to essentially figure it out.

This is kinda hard if you have small hands

Pracitice. Practice. Practice. Before you know it, you will have cards in your hands all the time within free hours of your day, if you love it. "Jack of all trades, master of none" Thank you! -From a big fan from N LV

am i the only one too notice the tattoo on his wrist

You're are great instructor chriss.. 👍👍

He's trying to mess up but he still does it right lol!

This would be a cool trick to do on a hot summer day

Patched! I tried it didn't work come up with an updated version please

If you guys want a tutorial of that last flourish, let me know. I can teach it to you.

its awesome that you did this kind of tutorial...cuz i was thinking that i want to know how to fan the deck...and now i can learn how to...though i need a good deck..cuz i have ome that the cards are plastic and they dont really slide

Cards r always beautiful. We love cards cards love u

when I learned fanning the sounds were included like for bad comment

I looked at several tutorials yours is the best bro

i've never seen a fan done with the index but it works thanks!

Pretty easy, love your videos, you've helped so much, thank you

I've been learning alot with you guys. Thank You for you're tutorials!

Thanks again for this tuto Chris !

Tf is that on ur left arm 😂

Digging the series the tips you provide help strengthen my skills and performances.

1:45 i love the austin powers reference

thank you so much Chris!! Great series! Damn gravity didn't want to cooperate!

Finally...I've finally been able to do a fan! A little rough, but with practice, I'll get better!

Video is great, personality fun, explanation clear and to the point!

Been around cards my whole life, I scare people. These videos just hone my skills, thanks.

Great video. Off to practice now. I’ll let you know how I get on in maybe 5 years 😆

I like your tutorials

So why does no video talk about the pressure needed for the hands holding the cards. I can't seem to get a fan even one time that look even somewhat okay after 5 days and I think its all because of the hand holding them

thanks ellusionist now i know what i have been doing wrong in my fan. really easy tutorial. =)

6.04 Chris be like: "Fckin eye-rubish, get out ya skunk" 😂😂

Love this guy...makes me laugh all the time

I'm a thumber myself. Could you do a tutorial for that one weird one handed fan? When the cards kinda wrap around the index.

Great tutorials for beginners!

Thanks man! You’re the best!

This technique didn't really work for me, side note my cards might not be the best so is there a more full proof way of doing a fan that will work with any cards?

Great Video, we love Chris Ramsay, he is so funny and professional! greetings from austria :)

Nice, another thumb fan tut. maybe I'll finally learn to do it properly xD

This tutorial was amazing your awesome man thanks

Chris Ramsay send me here to subscribe and win the prize deck, and then I realised that I was already subscribed, because this channel rocks!!

Hey I like it a lot that you show tutorials on your channel. #bestcards

Wish I knew what a Bell button was. I don't think i have one on my iPad. Anyway, I can close the fan three quarters, but then I can't get the last few cards. Drives me nuts. But thanks as always.

I REALLY LOVED THE TECHNIQUE BUT THE FIRST CARD NEVER MOVES?? ANY SUGGESTIONS??????????

2:20 after a month of clumped fans that's all i needed to do... thanks

Would air cushioned cards work the best? I seemed to get it after a few tries by using an Aristocrat deck made by the United States Playing Card Co. with either a Nevada or Air Cushion finish. It's the type of deck sold to casinos and I found mine at the local Dollar Tree.
