Hello. There's a dealer in my local casino that always gives coolers and bad beats. Casually the table is normal and he enters and suddenly massive all ins, yesterday AA vs Kk vs AK, QQ vs JJ, AA vs KK in a row. Apparently he's got prior concerns from other players but floor hasn't done anything. I managed to record the shuffle, can someone tell me if its a false shuffle and a false cut? He did that for 15 hands. Thank you

UPDATE. Went again today. Management took seriously the issue, they checked footage with timestamps and corroborated false shuffle and cuts multiple times. Employee moved to BJ tables, pending further sanction.

In the last post, some recommend me to learn it properly and this is what i get.i I hope i did the legolove properly this time.

I discovered how to do this a while back. Is nothing crazy, but I'm wondering if there's any way to expand on it.

This is a scarf I made for my partner, it's a full 52 card deck, double knitted!

Just for shits and giggles what's everyones oldest most used deck look like with box if u have it,

these are some futterflys I've bean absolutely abusing for three and a half years, still my favorite deck lol

Hey everyone, I learnt the revolution cut around 3 months ago, I think I know the mechanics of the cut enough but I still don't like how I perform it compared to online videos.

Am I doing something wrong? or I am just stressing too much and need some practice?

Haven't done cardistry since highschool and decided to relearn some of my old flourishes. Not going to lie, the mussel memory held up really well!

Never been a fan enjoyer, but i'm finally learning how to thumb fan.

Any pointers?

Bonus question: Whos mockingbird you think looks the best?

Been practicing cardistry for a little over 5 years now; though I’ve honestly been fascinated with playing cards and flourishing for much longer. And somehow, after all the cuts, packets, aerials, springs, pressure fans, faros, and endless deck wear… I still find myself repeatedly coming back to one move above all the others (aside from dribbling):

The Thumb Fan.

There’s just something deceptively difficult about it. People outside cardistry see a fan and think, “simple.” Meanwhile, cardists know a genuinely clean Thumb Fan is a constant balancing act between pressure, thumb placement, deck condition, humidity, bevel, hand tension, and pure muscle memory.

Some days it opens perfectly. Other days it feels like your thumb suddenly forgot how cards work. 😅

I’ve spent YEARS trying to refine mine into that smooth, even, near-circle spread with consistent spacing and minimal clumping. Even tiny adjustments can dramatically alter the outcome. Different card stocks respond uniquely; a freshly opened deck behaves differently from a well-used one. The room’s climate (humidity, temperature, airflow) also plays a significant role more than most realize.

That’s part of why I love cardistry, honestly! Its fundamentals continually teach new lessons and demand adaptation!

I’d love to see everyone’s progress on the Thumb Fan; whether you just started last week or have been practicing for over a decade. Share photos, videos, tips, struggles, favorite decks for fans, whatever… Let’s see whatcha got! ♠️♦️♣️♥️

my favorite of the classic flourishes, and foundational to my own style. I’ve been working at this move for a long time and I’d still say it’s only 90% there
