Head's up: If you've got small hands, skip to 2:17, then go watch it from the beginning.

Use less-than a full deck (I consider my hands smaller than average, and I started learning it with ~15 cards). As it gets more and more comfortable, add cards.

When I first started I thought there was no way I could do it, I couldn't get my thumb over with my middle but I just kept trying and my dexterity improved and now I can do it.

[glndn]

yeah no. some hands are simply too small. ive modified every one hand cut because of my hand size but this one simply is not possible for the select few with overly small hands. tried the tips, tried the comments advice as well. shame. decent video tho

best teaching in cardistry on youtube. there are others, but this short vids made me keep on doing and ended in first results. you put so much effort in here. so sad that you don't have 100k views or subs. Please keep going even if there are just a handfull of fans. imagine you brought just 1 to cardistry an become a pro. this is worth it :) thank you

[amaryagoub]

Thank you very much I have started learning

[Meekox]

This was the most useful thumb cut tutorial ever made thank you so much!

[nocreativiti]

the width of the cards is the same size as my palm, so after reviewing the tips I was able to get my thumb over the packet, but I couldn't get my middle finger over a half of it without using my other hand to reposition the cards in my palm. yikes. Guess Ill spend some extra time with this one lol

[miranda]

How do I exercise to strengthen my fingers?

[CyborganicDreamscape]

ah, i get it now. this is actually physically impossible for me. saves a lot of frustration.

[TheRealZachTV]

Any help for someone who can't grab the cards with the thumb even when I only have 2 cards in my hand?

[josephreynolds]

If you have small hands you can go lower in the palm with the deck to get your thumb further to the edge of the deck

[evilazzuratm]

[oyppp]
