for my people with legitimately small hands, just practice balancing it on your middle, ring, and pinky finger more than anything. that's what will make it go smoother and quicker once you let your thumb go
@@krono7843 I found you have to keep your pinky finger in the correct posrition . Your little pinky finger stops the cards falling out of your hand. I'm new at this too. When you are holding the cards in the straddle grip you have have index finger on one short edge and your pinky (small finger on the other. Your small finger stops the cards falling out of your hand. Look where his pinky finger is at 1:45 th-cam.com/video/BNC_DD9XccI/w-d-xo.html
Today is the first day I've ever been able to do this cut. Your tip with the thumb helped a lot but also showing how high you are holding the deck was a bigger help. I always said, "my hands are too small" and then I met a guy with smaller hands than me who did insane cardistry so I knew it was just my mental block. Thank you.
Some tips if you do have small hands: 1. make sure that your palm is facing up 2. after cutting the deck in half, secure the upper half with your pinkie 3. try to keep your thumb on the upper half (even only on the bottom couple of cards) for as long as possible
OMG, that thump tip saved me. I was having difficulty with it but I actually did it. Now practice to make it smotely. p.s. I found that tilting you hand a little to your pinky helps from the cards going everywhere. Just a little though.
I never thought I'd be able to do a one-hand cut but after 20 mins of trying over and over and rewatching your amazing video, I ended up doing it 5 times in a row :D
this was the only tutorial that actually worked for me my brain just confused anything anyone else said as they seemed to overcomplicate it. thanks man!
Your videos are very helpful 😊, others just names it tutorial and shows off their skills which makes it very confusing when we actually try to perform. Thanks for doing the good work 😀.
Incomplete guide: what TF are your pinky and forefinger doing during the cut and restack? Are the cards being pressed against your palm for more control? How do you keep split deck parallel to each other the whole time? When I press the bottom deck up with my forefinger only the top corner raises 1st. And then they become uneven.
Thanks for that huge tip about resting the top packet against the bottom. It’s still awkward doing it but it’s working! I genuinely thought I couldn’t do this at all because my hands were too small.
I can't seem to get the bottom packet to move no matter how hard I push with the index finger. I push until the cards bow but it doesn't move upward at all. What do I need to adjust to get the bottom packet to move upward?
When the cards land in a deck in the end, it is super messy and they dont land on top of each other straight as I'd want them too. So I can do this cut, but its messy. Are there any angle tricks involved? Thanks a lot Man !
to y'all that are saying your hands are too small, i'm a 5"1 15 yo with the worlds smallest hands and i can do it. just practice and use the tips at the end of the vid, trust me
I’ve just uploaded a video on my channel about the Charlier cut and it discusses the easy way to do it in a straddle grip and has a bit at the end talking about a tip to help if you’re struggling.
@@justdancefan-pv6lb It's a matter of practice my friend If 8 years old can do it, if so many asian people with small hands such as me can do it, you can too
man i spent like 3 days trying to figure this one out and i still suck at it. i can do it slowly but its very sloppy. annoying part is i tried it once with my right hand, and it felt a little awkward to hold but i can do it consistently and easily otherwise... i guess my pinky just likes to move when i move my index finger on my left hand so the cards just slide everywhere. zzz
Omg I cannot do this. I am 13 hands are small, whenever I let go with my thumb of top pack it completely flips over and I cant get the bottom pack overs without the top pack flipping. Even if I cheat with my right hand, it still doesn’t work. Pls help its frustrating
As a trans guy with tiny afab hands this comment section is saving my life lmao. The difference between amab small hands and afab small hands is huge and it's legit difficult to even hold a deck in my hands properly.

Your soundtrack is very relaxing. It balances my current soundtrack of cards hitting the floor.

thank you for this tip
I can do the charlier cut but because I can't stabilize the deck, cards fall off the deck a lot.
@@krono7843 EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

Advice on thumb is priceless. Thank you.
Got it within 30 minutes. Now practicing comfortably. Thanks a lot, man!
How
@@specxel7170 This move is easy peesy once you figure out how to hold the cut deck in your hand. Just let gravity do its job. Keep practicing.
@@specxel7170 It's very easy with big hands

Very helpful, got it way faster than from another video, thank you!

So I wanted to learn this for a florish and I saw a video from a big channel and yours was so much better! Thx, I learned way quicker

this is ADDICTIVE
It's satisfying when we can do it perfectly
For me the crux is at about the 3:20 mark where he says "and have your index do all the work"... Great tutorial.
Wtf. .. I got this the second try! Watching other videos for a bit now and never got it this fast!
Still working on the cut, but I just need to say that I love that deck
Your tutorials are perfect I just learned without rewinding once thank you👍
Great tutorial, thank you!
Got it in 15 minutes thank you!
how do we prevent that one card from slipping out from the bottom of the top deck when we're trying to combine the two cards together again?
Я научился этому трюку за 15 минут. И да, у меня длинные пальцы.
Теперь осталось усовершенствовать скорость выполнения данного трюка
Taking my thumb off of the cards when I push the lower packet with my index finger is the only thing that makes this work for me :D
well done, mate and good on ya!🇦🇺🍺🐨🥩
(Shar-lee-yay)
awesome.

I was born with a much less stretched thumb tendon than most people, so this move is a nightmare.
Yo I can't believe it, I did it for a few times although sloppily 😂 I really thought it would be impossible to do it with my small hands
Question: Do i need to support the cards with my pinkie mid cut?
must be easy for ppl with big/average sized hands...
_~sincerely the person with small hands who has been trying to do this for hours_

Do u need huge hands to do this? I feel like my hands simply aren't big enough
Im 11 and I'm wondering if I can't do it because my hands are too small.

my pinky keeps getting stuck under the card and it turns in a vertical mess
I can’t cut the check, it doesn’t fall. I can’t push the cut up cause it pushes the other cut away legit nothing works
Should I use my dominant hand or non- dominant hand or both?
start with non dominant and practice with both
Does not work, bug fixed in the new update
My thumb doesn’t reach the top so it’s extra hard
Me cursing Bicycles "air cushion technology" right now
Да, у меня тоже карты Bicycle и они очень скользкие. Одно неверное движение -- и придётся собирать карты с пола
my cards keep fallinh apart

Is it best to learn to do it with both hands?
no the whole point of it is to do it with one hand
This feels weird.
It kinda makes my right hand feel like my left hand.
I'm right handed... or, at least, I thought I was!!!
這是英文板的嗎？
my hands are way to small :(
I'm right handed but I find it easier with my left hand...weird.
non dominant hand is good for this move
My hands are literally too small for this
My thumb and pinky finger both are 2.1 inches (around 5 cm) and my middle finger is 2.76 inches (around 7 cm)
@@autumn_nights392 😥😥
i neEEd heeeElp its been fucking 5 hours and i still cant get it
у меня руку сводит 🙂
3:44
My fingers are legit too short for this LOL
manipulating cards like that in one hand like mine is scary.
Too easy to me
not suited for ppl with small hands.
People of all handsizes can do cardistry.
no your just not committed enough to actually learn it,. I managed to learn it after a couple of hours even with my small hands
@@zipmyster7301 you instead should commit to learning grammar and the difference between your and you're
