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

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

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.

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.

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! 😁

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

I love the lighting in your videos

I love y’all videos! Keep it up!

Love your channel and skills! Thank you.

Good to see you Grant

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

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.

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

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

Your explanations are excellent!

Great tutorial, I appreciate it. Very helpful.

Alrighty then! New tutorials coming with Grant today.

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 so much for this! Super clear explanations.

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

Thank you for this amazing tutorial

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!

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

You guys are amazing! 🐳

Thank you very much! Your explanation is very clear.

FINALLY A LEFT HANDED TUTORIAL

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

Dude, such dope b-roll!!!

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

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

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.

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.

This dude got Viking hands while I have curious George hands

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

Muchas gracias! Bravo maestro! I do it.

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

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.

You taught me 1 handed cut! Thank you.

Thanks for the clear instructions keep it up

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

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

Video is amazing!

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 🥲

Love you brother 😍

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

Thanks You So Much, BRO 🙏🙏🙏❤️

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

Great video✌️👍

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

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!

Nice i liked it .ill be practicing this

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

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

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

Grant!!! 🙌🙌🙌

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

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 bro!

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.

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

best channel by far xd

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

is easy to learn ，thank you

My hand cramped up on the revolution cut 😅

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...

Very helpful

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

Thank you!

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

I did it! woot

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.

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

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

Hey, nice video ! What's the music at the beginning? I really like it

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

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

Carlier cut XD Never heard that before!

revolution cut is soo nice :D struggling with it tho

They're kinda easy. Was able to do them by the time video ended And since I don't have any other cards.. I am doing it with Uno cards :P

Legit that for sharing

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.

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

For rev. Cut you can use your ring finger to lift bottom packet

Hi! Thx!
