Cardistry: Beginner One Handed Cuts (Playing Card Shuffling)

What You Will Learn?

• Cardistry or Flourishing is the art of manipulating playing cards in an artistic manner. You can think of cardistry as dancing with a deck of playing cards..
• In cardistry, there are different types of card flourishes such as fans, aerials or isolations, all which we are going to cover in this Cardistry Series. In this first course we're going to go over one handed cuts. This means that we're going to cut the deck using just one of our hands. Don't worry, it's not as hard as you may think!.
• We're going to cover 5 different flourishes, all which are considered to be the entry level one handed cardistry cuts meant for anyone just starting into this artform. Each flourish is explained in great detail and I make sure to go over all of the movements, mechanics and finger placements multiple times over the course of the tutorial in order to make sure that you will be able to, by the end of the video, to perform the flourish..
• Cardistry is so therapeutic because you can do it everywhere, anywhere and it'll take your mind off things. Silence the monkey mind, you know. Just pick a deck up and move them around as all the stress and worry leaves your body..

• "Cardistry does have a long history, because when card tricks became popular in the 19th century, magicians would often do simple card flourishes as a way of demonstrating their skills, to entertain, or to otherwise enhance a magic performance. It is true that many magicians are good at cardistry and card flourishing, simply because using cards is part of their job, and so they like to play with cards in new and interesting ways."
