For those who are just starting like me, I failed at this miserably but came back after practicing a charlier cut for an entire day. Feels much more natural and comfortable now.

I found grabbing closer to your pinky finger helps tons! Try grabbing the half end of the cards closest to your pinky worked for me almost immediately :)

Mind : oh, an easy ones
Fingers : PUSHH EVERYYTHINGGG

Even if your hands are too small you can still do it! It took me about an hour due to my small hands but once you get it you can do it.

When I was watched: Oo this is super easy

Try starting with a smallish packet... notice in the slow motion demo he's got about half a deck... that's easier. But it's sill very hard and I still don't have it down. That lower packet is more troublesome. It doesn't want to open up in my hand... but wants to slip off and flutter down to the floor, which is not part of the move.

is it possible that my hands are too smal. or can everybody do it

Ive seen videos of cardistry guys bashing people for saying they can’t do cuts like this with small hands. I have been practicing this move for so damn long (I have incredibly small hands) I can do the move with half the deck but not clean. It is almost impossible to do it with the full deck with my hands have not done it once even sloppily. Don’t waste your time small hand homies.

i left here cutting cards. thanks. : )

[GamingLoadown]

great vid, it only took 2 attempt, its nice when that happens

[loganlaine]

Idk if it’s because my hands might me smaller but the bottom pack is cutting into the inside top bone of my pointer finger as I’m practicing…

[hannahgroom]

okay I am convinced my hands are too small. my cards cover most of my hand as it is and I cant stretch my hand that far

[sren]

Great Thanks for that. Could you learn reverse scissor cut ??

[atchph]

my hands are too small !!!, even with only half a deck,

edit : ok after 1 hour of repetitions, im getting the hang of it with a full deck

[bursheysh]

i am going to break my fingers doing this cut but fuck it
