After practicing this for 4 hours straight while watching Rambo and the Truman Show, I have some additional tips in which he didn't mention: - The further away from the center of each packet that your index finger is (get it close to the upper right corner of the bottom packet and upper left corner of top packet) while leveling and preparing to 'faro' each packet into each other greatly increases the ease in which the packets weave; this is because, the higher up your index finger is while being pinched by the two packets, the more swing each packet gets and can mesh together at the tips better. - The condition of your cards you use to perform this impacts how easily the cards will weave, newer/slippery-er cards being easier. - You can weave/faro the cards with downwards or upwards pressure: I actually find it easier to pull down with my index, thumb and pinky finger (your hand would look like a talon or claw if the deck wasn't there while pulling down towards your palm at this point) as I'm trying to weave. Once they weave, the cards are already in position to apply the cascade pressures. - Practice, after about a solid 30min of trying you'll understand the move more and make your own micro adjustments suited to the size of your hands, the deck you use, etc. After another 30min you'll be able to get solid weaves and so on. I watched this this morning at around 10am and practiced it until 2pm straight and I'm still practicing while watching youtube vids and I can comfortably say that I got this shit down.

The only trick this gives you is how to play 52 pick-up every damn time.

Still working through this, but to those struggling to separate the cards, I made it easier to do the motions initially by wrapping two halves in rubber bands, and it made it so much easier.

Years ago Ed Marlo showed a counter slight of hand artist name Stanley how to do this shuffle. It was in the middle 50's at an arcade, gift and magic shop on Randolph street in downtown Chicago. Ed had a professional shop in the back on the 2nd floor where he would teach the serious card mechanics the various slights much like John Scarne did in NY. I was fortunate to meet Ed up there as a teenager where the best card men in the country would often visit for instruction and demonstrations of their skills. I bought a few of Ed's books, he autographed those and I still have them. Stanly whos name was mentioned in one of the Marlo books taught me the one hand shuffle that you do so well here. He added a move that gives a little more control in doing the spread with the little finger and first finger playing an active part. Either way its a pretty impressive slight - thanks for your variation - also like the water fall flourish - first time I ever saw it.

Pushing them together is fucking impossible.

I now know why 52 Pick Up is such a vital game to master! Finally achieved success though. Now just a matter of getting a smooth and consistent shuffle.

Here's a tip for anyone that was like me and just couldn't get the weave to happen. When you cut the cards, make sure one packet is smaller than the other. If it's the same size packet on each side , I find the cards won't weave, they buckle and bend. But if one side is smaller, it gives way and the edges collapse on each other and weave. Now I can do it almost every time. Small tweak but makes it work.

This is by far one of the coolest things I’ve seen that is moderately easier to do (not saying it’s easy by any means, just that it’s easier in comparison to some advanced cardistry moves).

Stumbled upon this video and recognized your voice from from a video I watched 7-8 years ago. It was an impromptu card trick "competition" you did for another channel (Mismag) called the card trick that never happened. That card trick stuck with me all these years.

I followed this video about 5 years ago and today I can do this move like a boss. I've recently been trying to master perfect one handed Faroe shuffle, and have come close. But thanks for this video.

Really useful tip: use a slightly worn/used deck it makes this much easier as the cards are less stiff and the bow on the cards also makes it simpler

This ones very difficult but fun practicing. Thank you for sharing.

Your tutorials are VERY well done! best on youtube, this trick took me 2 days to learn :) thanks for the great tutorial!

my granddad could do this whilst drinking and reading a news paper. he made it look so easy. he could do all these fancy cuts with one hand. h also was a great magician. and i now want to do all these amazing cuts with one hand to. you teach very well. step by step instructions. keep it up

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! I saw this move a couple of times in a few videos but i just assumed that it was either somewhat hard or needed big enough hands (also i could never find a good tutorial for it). But since i can learn most of the moves you make tutorials for it really wasnt that hard :D Keep it up!

This trick is so professional, I love it !

thanks to this tutorial... first time i've done it 1:11 :D

After watching this 2 months ago and practicing it nearly every night i can now say i can do the complete move. Still fair bit to go but i can do the move. :) I have only begun playing with cards properly the last year so to do this i am either talented (which i am not) with cards or with a lot of practice (which i have) anyone can do this.Thanks for the help 52Kards

very impresive Asad it's not easy to do it slow but you can cause you are the best man

Nice move to look like a card shark!!! Thank you 52 kards,you are doing great.

Thank you very much. This one is going to take some time to learn but i allready know i will succeed. Took me about 4 hours before i was capable of splitting the deck... But i found a way to do it 😃🤣

That is indeed one of the coolest looking shuffles I've ever seen. I won't be able to do it, obviously, still it's awesome.

This video helped A TON!

I can do it yesssssss took me forever but finally got it

and ur tutorials are very impressive

Currently attempting to learn this as I haven a broken wrist! What better time haha

Love this man!

Agh! My cards catch on fire every time I try this!

very good hard to learn thanks u for uploading this

Great tutorial!!

Ahhhh! Got it on my 3rd try! Thanks!!

very good trick!

i broke my fingers

you can do this with small hands. i have smallish hands and i can do it i just need to practice with the faro (weaving) and the stretching. it just takes practice people! don't give up! btw great video 52Kards. looking forward to future videos.

very good tutorial.. thanks ! :)

Good shuffle !!!

Been practicing this for an hour finally got it down, and it definitely does get easier everytime and once you play with it a lil you develop your own sorta groove it. Thanks alot been looking for a sic way to shuffle cards

With jareks tutorial I couldn't even figure out anything with my hands. Then by the end of asad saying knuckle I did it first try. Thanks asad.

nice cards man

just the same shuffle to do the waterwheel ! you should teach us that one!

you should do top 10 favorite decks of cards!

i just watched a 52kards ad before watching the video. lol. nice ad btw

Really interesting thank you :]

thanks for this thumbs up, between you and jarek120 i learned this in 3 days and 2 packs of cards later lol.. but please please please tell me how to do the watter wheel in detail. ones you have the 2 packets ready to combine you can make the kards kinda watter fall it's beautiful, please could you give us a break down of this?

I pretty much learned Hot shot card cut and this at the same time, and I figured out that the Hot Shot card cutting is the easier method to get to the weave.

I love the slow way you talk

This tutorial is really good just like most of 52kards tuts, i started learning the charlier cut with my tiny hands(really small) i used full sized playing cards. took me an hour and a half to learn charlier flawlessly, realised the problem was not my tiny hands. so i stuck at it then moved onto something more advanced, hot shot cut, after spending twenty minutes in the awkward position you start in i got it within the hour, not perfectly but at least 7 times out of ten it was really good.this however ive been trying for 2 hours constantly and it is by far the hardest thing ive been trying to learn. i keep trying to blame my small hands but i know this is simply not correct. i think im not aligning the cards right as the weave is not happening. any tips from a pro?

Cool never saw anyone do that in person

I have probably the smallest hands in the magic industry and I have trouble but today after 2 months of practice (almost every day) I am now at the point of a weave, stop using excuses everyone

Thank's for the move and good job :-)

THIS DOES NOT FUCKING WORK WITH FUCKING UNO-CARDS!!

ur have good control over cards

You are the best :)

cool man!

for all of you complaining about small hands. Richard Turner (who doesn't have very big hands) came up with a version where you do it longitudinal to get people to stop making excuses. your hands don't need to be big to do it. if you have tiny hands, all you need is finger flexibility. it will be harder. but definitely possible. no excuses.

this is my fav shuffle when I do magic i perform this

Your videos are great! I'm really getting into one handed things, such as cuts, this shuffle and fans. Do you know of any other cuts I could look up as well? Any thoughts would be appreciated :) keep up the great job!

best teach in !!!

your the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already know it but nice tutorial :)

Well, I live overseas and i am now ordering a deck. And also i can do simple tricks like overhand shuffle, hindu, swivel, swing cut. But they are quite messy maybe due to my low quality deck. it seems that only the fan things is the only thing I cant do in this deck. But Thanks for the info ! Ill keep practicing!

I believe it was How to Disturb reality that I learned how to do this from. Took me MONTHS of practice. One thing I would mention is when trying to put the together is pull down or push up ever slow slightly so the cards aren't going in on a single plane....if that is making any sense.

You are awesome! I was just wondering, can you make your techniques work of normal set of decks? Or you need decks in which you have review? Please answer! I really want to learn your tricks. And also if you need decks which you have reviewed. Which for you is the best for a beginner?

Holy s***! Awesome move. How long do you work with cards now? I started it about 3 months ago and i still strugle with the revolutionary cut....

Awesome

thanks i just got a little trouble with the weave

sick

Can you do a video on the riffle fan!?

02:30 For loads acting on materials, the most direct antonym of _tension_ is _compression_.

amazing .. cool..

One thing i wanted to ask you for a while was could you use the one handed cut that you thought in the Hot Shots tutorial to make it easier?

This is literally fucking impossible. If you can do this, you're a demi god

Thanks a lot, i went and bought a new deck and it's way better! maybe a bit too good haha, i have trouble controlling them cause they are so slippery :s

"My hands are too small" More like "I'm too lazy to put time and dedication into something I want to learn so I'm going to use a bullshit excuse"

I have small hands &this is how I do it. Cut the cards & have your index finger like the video, except you need to scoot your thumb down so that the tip of the thumb barely clear the cards. Angle so that the cards fall onto your pinky. Align the cards & apply pressure w/ thumb, middle, & ring finger to hold in place. Relocate pinky beside your ring finger. Relocate middle finger to the front and have the joint hanging over the top. Push packs together while middle finger pushes DOWN AND IN.

Nice :DD

You can do all of his techniques with any deck of cards. All of the decks are made of paper, and there is no difference except in the design. To start out with, I would recommend a pack of Bicycle Standard Playing Cards. :)

Now I know how to shuffle like you

Please make a skater cut tutorial

Please more vids i love your vid

Sir, U R awesome

first 10 sec I watch this and i say wow !

Damn it's cool

Really KZfaq I get an ad for 52kards while watching this video

From the N to the I to the C to the E - NIIIIIIIIICEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Please do my deck collection #2 or something like that :)

Is there a way to do a one-handed swing cut or something like that? I've been playing with a few ideas for it lately, but I can't seem to find the best way.

I Feel You Bro

u can also use the hot shot cut

3:45 one handed waterfall LOL xD

52Kards, do you have a twitter?, if not you should make one :)

Awesome what deck did you use

I have trouble in the part I need to put both halves together. any clue?

ur right it is hard to do slow. sucks to be the newbie waiting for you to tell him what to do next while his finger feels like its gonna slice off.

Cooooooool

Took me four try's but I finally got it

sometimes when i do the bridge some cards on top just jump out, because its hard to get a good grip on the cards and there fairly new, so they have alot of spring so the jump out

Asad, please do another contest. Thumbs up so he can see :)

I wanna know how to make that waterfall finish so dang smooth. Mine is SUPER clumpy and not nearly as pretty. Is there a video of that I could watch or something? My bridge is kinda ugly, so I would prefer to use the waterfall. any replies or response would be fantastic. thanks.
